Battle of Kapyong
The Battle at Kapyong, April 1951 - Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand troops of the Korean War hold back an invading Chinese army which aims to drive the foreigners into the sea. Often in total darkness, individual is pitted against individual for the control of a valley - the traditional invasion route to Seoul. What follows becomes the turning point of China's spring offensive and decisive moment in the Korean War.

Palestine Blues
Unexpectedly filled with moments of poetry and humor, Palestine Blues tells the story of a village’s confusion and desperation; their daily victories and wrenching defeats. This award-winning documentary, shot over six months, focuses on the farming village of Jayyous, bearing witness to the destruction of many of its ancient olive groves and farming lands by the bulldozers and weaponry of the Israeli army in its inexorable charge to raise the security wall across occupied Palestine. With an insider’s access and heart-wrenching footage, sometimes shot from a hidden camera, Palestinian-American filmmaker Nida Sinnokrot humanizes the struggle of the Palestinian people whose stories are too often forgotten by the mainstream media.

Tabloid fever
Tabloid follows the much stranger-than-fiction adventures of Joyce McKinney, a former “beauty queen” whose single-minded devotion to the man of her dreams leads her across the globe and directly onto the front pages of the British tabloid newspapers. Joyce’s crusade for love and personal vindication, takes her through a surreal world of gunpoint abduction, manacled Mormons, oddball accomplices, bondage modeling, magic underwear and dreams of celestial unions. This notorious affair is barking mad.
