Остров
Producer
После распада СССР рыболовецкий колхоз был разрушен. На острове в Каспии нет ни электричества, ни врачей, ни полицейских. А из работы только нелегальная ловля осетров. Вот и у Ивана нет выбора — он либо поймает осетров, либо умрёт от голода. Иногда Иван включает генератор и с гордостью смотрит передачи по государственным телеканалам о прекрасной и мощной России.
Tibetan Warrior
Co-Producer
The true story of one man's fight for freedom. For more than 60 years Tibetans have been fighting Chinese oppression. But their non-violent struggle appears to be in vain. Now, as a new form of peaceful protest, Tibetans are setting themselves on fire. Loten Namling - an exiled Tibetan and musician living in Switzerland - is deeply disturbed by such self-destructive action. So he sets off from Europe to India, on a one-man mission to meet top politicians, experts and young radicals. He himself becomes increasingly radical and is on the verge of violent protest. Finally he ends up at The Office of the Dalai Lama in India to seek the advice of the exiled Tibetan leader.
