Um ônibus repleto de turistas atravessa uma região montanhosa do Marrocos. Entre os viajantes estão Richard (Brad Pitt) e Susan (Cate Blanchett), um casal de americanos. Ali perto os meninos Ahmed (Said Tarchani) e Youssef (Boubker At El Caid) manejam um rifle que seu pai lhes deu para proteger a pequena criação de cabras da família. Um tiro atinge o ônibus, ferindo Susan. A partir daí o filme mostra como este fato afeta a vida de pessoas em vários pontos diferentes do mundo: nos Estados Unidos, onde Richard e Susan deixaram seus filhos aos cuidados da babá mexicana; no Japão, onde um homem (Kôji Yakusho) tenta superar a morte trágica de sua mulher e ajudar a filha surda (Rinko Kinkuchi) a aceitar a perda; no México, para onde a babá (Adriana Barraza) acaba levando as crianças; e ali mesmo, no Marrocos, onde a polícia passa a procurar suspeitos de um ato terrorista.

A Rua Sem Nome
After two gang-related killings in "Center City," a suspect (who was framed) is arrested, released on bail...and murdered. Inspector Briggs of the FBI recruits a young agent, Gene Cordell, to go undercover in the shadowy Skid Row area (alias George Manly) as a potential victim of the same racket. Soon, Gene meets Alec Stiles, neurotic mastermind who's "building an organization along scientific lines." Stiles recruits Cordell, whose job becomes a lot more dangerous.
Milk
What we show in Milk is literally the best of the best when it comes to dairy farming, yet, as soon we view what happens from the perspective of the mother cow, it becomes clear that this is an industry that runs on the exploitation and suffering of animals. By using animation, we are able to show a unique perspective and tell the story of the mother cow in a way that cannot be done from investigative footage alone. Milk centres the cow as the protagonist of her own story and allows us to view what is happening to her from an up close and personal perspective. Organic, free-range, high-welfare, humanely raised. It doesn’t matter what label we put on dairy products, all dairy cows are victims of an industry that forcibly impregnates them, takes their babies from them, exploits their bodies and then sends them to a slaughterhouse to cut their throats. It's time to end the dairy industry.
