Naked Gardens
Producer
With a cheekily contemplative tone and an empathetic lens, Naked Gardens takes us inside an isolated nudist community in Florida, where residents find a place to feel accepted, deal with their past traumas and jointly pursue forming a utopia-like society.
No Kings
Producer
Not too far from Rio de Janeiro's rumbling motorways and electric lights there is a place, where carving canoes and building houses with clay are still an essential part of life. 'No Kings' has been made in the same free spirit that defines the lives of the inhabitants of the small community between the sea and the rain forest. Out here, nature itself is the supreme authority. The rest of society with its gods and kings is a distant echo. The vital, saturated universe enshrouds us as we are out catching crabs with the children or hear the rain patter on the roof in the middle of the night. The Caiçara people maintain and cultivate the last remnants of the Atlantic rain forest, and their traditions are based on sustainable values from Brazil, Japan, Africa and Europe. But Brazil's new government has other plans for the rain forest and for the country's many minorities.
What You Gonna Do When the World's on Fire?
Producer
Summer 2017, a string of brutal police killings of young African American men has sent shockwaves throughout the country. A Black community in the American South tries to cope with the lingering effects of the past and navigate their place in a country that is not on their side. Meanwhile, the Black Panthers prepare a large-scale protest against police brutality.
The Other Side
Writer
En un territorio invisible, al margen de la sociedad, a caballo entre la ilegalidad y la anarquía, vive una comunidad doliente que trata de reaccionar ante una amenaza: el olvido de las instituciones mientras violan los derechos de la ciudadanía. Veteranos desarmados, adolescentes taciturnos, drogadictos que buscan en el amor una vía de escape a su dependencia, ex-combatientes de las fuerzas especiales que aún siguen en guerra con el mundo, jóvenes mujeres y futuras madres sin rumbo, ancianos que aún no han perdido las ganas de vivir...
The Passage
Writer
Una mujer de unos 60 años con cáncer terminal, un hombre de 40 años recién salido de la cárcel y un artista británico de unos 50 se juntan por casualidad y hacen un viaje por carretera a Marfa, Texas. Cada uno de ellos está buscando algo que le dé esperanza, cuando esta es escasa. Comparten experiencias profundas a través del paisaje de Texas, desde las grandes ciudades a los áridos pueblos del desierto. Lo que comenzó como un viaje cómodo se convierte en mucho más: una oportunidad para sanar las heridas más profundas, que sólo el amor sin condiciones puede conseguir.
