Over the past sixty years, over a million ‘orphans’ were adopted by Western families from around the world. Now many are discovering their past was a lie. From the children who were stolen from their mothers during the Pinochet dictatorship, to Africa’s fake orphans, international adoption is at the heart of an unprecedented scandal. We join investigative journalists, activists and researchers in South Korea, Sweden, France, Chile, Germany, Holland and Switzerland. How did this colossal, lucrative market manage to prosper? And why does it live on today? Even today, women are still being manipulated, threatened or tricked into giving up babies – often with the blessing of government authorities. If fraudulent practices continue today, in spite of the Hague Convention that has regulated international adoption since 1993, it is because the system itself is flawed and intrinsically favours corruption.

In 1993, Washington State voters passed the three-strikes law and sent children to prison for life without parole. We feared these children as irredeemable superpredators. Our fear was wrong, but in 2020, sixteen states continue to keep children in prison for life. SINCE I BEEN DOWN shows the power of these children, now adults nearly forty years later, creating a true path to justice and healing from inside their prison walls. “We dare say that a lot of the answers society is searching for (today) will be found in prison” -- Touré Zimbabwe.

Parham's mysterious disappearance from school leaves everyone puzzled, except for his classmate Saman, who knows more than he's willing to share.

Being a human rights activist and an NGO staff member in Palestine is a high-risk endeavor. Even when the struggle is for women’s rights or the right to health. In 2021, Israel designated six of the largest Palestinian NGOs in the West Bank as terrorist groups without presenting evidence. Some of their directors and staff have been detained or targeted with military-grade spyware such as Pegasus. Over the past two years, the Israel-Gaza war has dominated international headlines—but what was happening before October 7, 2023? Through newly uncovered archives, unseen personal footage, and images captured in the West Bank in 2023, this documentary sheds light on how the state of Israel set its sights on dismantling Palestine’s civil society.

Sandra Luckow’s Vanishing offers an almost shockingly close-up view of a life well lived and arguably well ended. Focused raptly on the late author Cai Emmons, the film is documented from so deep within her home and intimate circle that at times it also seems to have been shot from inside her head. Emmons is the intellectual driver of Vanishing—but it’s Luckow’s principled humility before her subject, and before the inescapable realities of illness and death, that enable this film to begin in voicelessness and dissolution and end in eloquent affirmation.                                                --Stuart Klawans, National Magazine Award winner for Reviews and Criticism

Through newly uncovered archives, unseen personal footage, and images captured in the West Bank in 2023, this documentary sheds light on how the state of Israel set its sights on dismantling Palestine’s civil society. How are these Israeli policies sustained? “Shrinking Space” includes evidence of U.S. involvement, Europe’s complicity, illegal detentions, and the arbitrary imprisonment of innocent Palestinian children. The film weaves together intimate portraits of these renowned persecuted Palestinian activists with powerful reflections that provide key insights into the ongoing Israeli’s apartheid regime and systemic repression in Palestine.

This is a a film based on a Sikh family's experiences during the Partition of India in 1947.This traumatic episode in the region’s history resulted in the expulsion of Sikhs from the Punjab, their traditional homeland and the center of their religion and culture. With the division of colonial India into the nation-states of India and Pakistan, there was extraordinary violence, torment, and bloodshed, and mass migration of refugees on both sides of the new border. The main character worked for the British-built railway system, which played a pivotal role in the refugee experience during the Partition.
