Director Alfred Hitchcock is revered as one of the greatest creative minds in the history of cinema. Known for his psychological thrillers, Hitchcock’s leading ladies were cool, beautiful and preferably blonde. One such actress was Tippi Hedren, an unknown fashion model given her big break when Hitchcock’s wife saw her on a TV commercial. Brought to Universal Studios, Hedren was shocked when the director, at the peak of his career, quickly cast her to star in his next feature, 1963’s The Birds. Little did Hedren know that as ambitious and terrifying as the production would be to shoot, the most daunting aspect of the film ended up coming from behind the camera.

Hansie é um longa-metragem produzido na África do Sul e dirigido por Regardt van den Bergh (O Fazendeiro e Deus). Ele é baseado na história verídica do jogador de críquete Hansie Cronjé. "Como você pode começar de novo depois de ter traído a confiança de uma nação?" A notícia do envolvimento de Hansie Cronjé com apostadores indianos e sua confissão pública abalou a comunidade esportiva internacional. A ascensão sem precedentes para a glória foi seguida pela queda. Hansie, o menino de ouro do críquete Sul-Africano, foi despojado de tudo o que amava em virtude de seus erros, mas, felizmente, não há nada que Deus não perdoe: “Se confessarmos os nossos pecados, ele é fiel e justo para perdoar os nossos pecados e nos purificar de toda injustiça”. 1 João 1:9
