Фильмы

Committed
Writer
Dr. Dupont arrives at a mental facility to apply for a staff position. World famous Dr. Quilly interviews her, and has her sign papers. She is thrilled to get the job, and is shown her room. However, confusion with her room being on the same floor as the patients' soon turns to panic as she is told that she is a "guest"- not a doctor, and the papers she signed were not job forms, but commitment papers.
Прогулка со львами
Writer
Фильм основан на действительной истории и рассказывает о последних годах жизни братьев Джорджа и Теренса Адамсонов, арендовавших у правительства Кении территорию, на которой был устроен своеобразный заповедник, где выпускались на свободу и приучались к самостоятельной охоте и жизни львы, рожденные и выросшие в неволе — в зоопарках и цирках. Помогал ему британский авантюрист Тони Фитцджон, нашедший в заповеднике случайную работу и прикипевший к этому делу на много лет. Дело Адамсонов, однако, с годами потеряло понимание со стороны коррумпированных властей. Браконьеры зачастую были родственниками тех, кому полагалось животных охранять. Носорожьи рога, бивни слонов были основной целью убийства беззащитных перед современным оружием животных. Земли, богатые травой, были предметом вожделения и местных скотоводческих племен. Джорджу предлагали основать заповедник в Танзании, но он хотел умереть там, где провел всю свою жизнь, посвященную любимому делу.

Where the Spirit Lives
Writer
In 1937, a young First Nations (Canadian native) girl named Ashtecome is kidnapped along with several other children from a village as part of a deliberate Canadian policy to force First Nations children to abandon their culture in order to be assimilated into white Canadian/British society. She is taken to a boarding school where she is forced to adopt Western Euro-centric ways and learn English, often under brutal treatment. Only one sympathetic white teacher who is more and more repelled by this bigotry offers her any help from among the staff. That, with her force of will, Ashtecome (forced to take the name Amelia) is determined to hold on to her identity and that of her siblings, who were also abducted.
