Ordinary Angels
Basert på en utrolig, men sann historie. Ordinary Angels fokuserer på Sharon (Hilary Swank), en tøff frisør som sliter i en liten by i Kentucky, som finner en ny mening med livet når hun møter Ed (Alan Ritchson), en enkemann som jobber hardt for å få endene til å møtes for sine to døtre. Mens Eds yngste datter venter på en levertransplantasjon, bestemmer Sharon seg for å hjelpe familien og flytter fjell for å gjøre det. Det som følger er en inspirerende historie om tro, hverdagsmirakler og hverdagsengler.
Women Talking
Kvinnene i et isolert religiøst samfunn kjemper med å få virkelighet og tro til å stemme overens. I bakgrunnshistorien ser vi et samfunn av kvinner komme sammen for å finne ut hvordan de kan komme videre og bygge en bedre verden for seg selv og sine barn. Bli og kjempe eller dra. De vil ikke gjøre ingenting.
Ondskap på innsiden
Når en kvinne mottar instruksjoner i en mystisk eske, må hun følge dem eller risikere å miste alt, og alle, hun noensinne har kjent.
Out of My Mind
Melody Brooks, a sixth grader with cerebral palsy, has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but because she is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, she is not given the same opportunities as her classmates. When a young educator notices her student’s untapped potential and Melody starts to participate in mainstream education, Melody shows that what she has to say is more important than how she says it.
One-of-a-Kind Marcie
Den snille, godhjertede og beskjedne Snefrid har mange gode ideer når hun skal hjelpe vennene sine med å oppnå mål og løse problemer. Men når verden legger merke til det, og hun selv havner i rampelyset, blir det en utfordring å dele disse ideene.
The Battle of Pussy Willow Creek
It was the most pivotal battle of the American Civil War... and you've never even heard of it. A battle in which a misfit Union regiment of only 600 souls miraculously prevented a mercenary army fifty times its size from conquering Washington. A battle that, due to an ensuing scandal that was severely embarrassing to both the Union and the Confederacy, was subject to a deliberate cover-up. A battle whose main protagonists – an opium-addicted gay colonel, an elderly Chinese general/launderer, a nerdy escaped slave/engineering genius, and a one-armed sociopathic teenaged prostitute – were denied their rightful place in the nation’s pantheon of heroes. Presented in the authoritative style of an historical documentary à la Ken Burns, The Battle of Pussy Willow Creek is a hilarious mockumentary and an outrageous social/political satire. Through a combination of “archival” materials, absurdly overwrought “period” music, interviews with a rather unhinged set of “historians”, and commentary by one very snarky Narrator, the film tells the life stories of its four outsider heroes, tracing their implausible biographies until their paths converge to put them at the epicenter of a sinister plot to destroy the nation. The Battle of Pussy Willow skewers the sacred myths of American history, and – with unbridled comedic anarchy – comments on everything from politics to pop- culture, from racism, sexism, and homophobia to the pomposity of the PBS-style documentary itself.
