Based her grandfather’s boyhood in St. Louis, Yasmin Gorenberg tells a story of the pain passed from refugee parents to their children and the hope that can overcome it. “40 Nickels” captures the image of a generation of immigrants to the United States in the 1920’s and 1930’s and through that spotlights the effects of the 1919 pogroms in Eastern Europe. This is a film about parents and children: how trauma never leaves a family, and how hope and resilience is also passed down. It asks the question: Can a new generation look at the world with wonder rather than fear?

Basada en una historia real sucedida en Alaska. Robert Hansen (John Cusack) era un padre de familia que se dedicaba a contratar prostitutas en Anchorage a las que luego secuestraba, torturaba y violaba; después las llevaba a una remota cabaña en su avioneta. Una vez allí, las liberaba para darles caza como si fueran animales. El agente de la policía Jack Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) está decidido a atraparle. Para ello cuenta con la única testigo que ha conseguido escapar, la joven prostituta Cindy Paulson (Vanessa Hudgens).
