War Hospital
In the small town of Lokichoggio, in northern Kenya, dozens of planes returning from Sudan land on a short runway. Many have just dropped off relief supplies, but the majority are carrying wounded patients from the civil war in southern Sudan. These patients will be picked up at the airport by ambulances that will take them through dust and scrub down an empty road to one of the most unique places in Africa: the International Committee of the Red Cross' Lopiding Hospital, the biggest field hospital in the world today. WAR HOSPITAL follows the life and fortunes of this field hospital during a three month period when peace might finally be signed in Sudan. Now, the hospital is experiencing an influx of patients who, because of the war, have previously been denied any access to surgical care. The hospital continues to see the immediate results of fighting in Sudan: gunshots, grenade injuries and even spear wounds. But it's also seeing critical obstetric cases, infant burn victims, and gynecological patients, many of whom would have died without help in Sudan during the harshest years of the war. The ICRC allowed filmmakers David Christensen and Damien Lewis unprecedented access to the surgical hospital and its inner workings. With no narrator and minimal explanation, WAR HOSPITAL simply and powerfully follows international and local medical staff as they go about their duties. Mesmerizing, emotionally intense, and full of insights into human behavior, the documentary subtly brings home the horrors of war.

A Gift from God
Norwegian journalist Jørgen Lorentzen was in Turkey during the coup attempt in 2016. One of the neighbors stated that he had experienced many coups before, and that this was not a real coup. From that moment on Lorentzen started investigating the event and its aftermath. The result is the documentary film "A Gift from God". The film is the product of three years of intense investigative journalism. The film is a critical analysis of the coup attempt that took place in Turkey during the night between July 15 and July 16, 2016. After the coup attempt failed, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan unleashed an unprecedented wave of repression against his opponents. Tens of thousands of teachers, judges, journalists, health workers and military personnel were fired and thousands were sentenced to long-term or life imprisonment. President Erdogan accuses the preacher Fethullah Gülen and his followers of being behind the coup attempt. But is this true? This documentary reveals never-before-seen documents and film footage, and sheds a light on what really happened that night through the voices of people who actually witnessed it. Among these are high-ranking military officers, journalists, refugees and experts. We have also interviewed Fethullah Gülen about Erdogan's accusations. The film also addresses Turkey's difficult relationship with NATO and Europe. President Erdogan has also accused the US of being a primary mover behind the coup attempt, and as a result he has since taken Turkey further away from the West and closer to Russia. This process - should it continue - could represent a dramatic geopolitical shift, and this film problematizes how the country has changed spectacularly in the wake of the coup attempt.

420: The Documentary
"Seven youthful people (representing the nation's 'youth') question why our government is still arresting people for mere possession of marijuana, even though our last three presidents, and many politicians smoked pot in their youth. Footage from 420 civil disobedience festivals is juxtaposed against ironic statements from politicos who continue to misrepresent the truth - supposedly out of concern for the very youth who have fallen prey to marijuana prohibition laws. To underscore this hypocrisy, 420 illuminates stories of college students, and others,who have been arrested, shot by police, and even murdered for mere possession of pot. 420 scans the history of pot - from the 30s to present day - exposing how the public has been duped, over and over by false propaganda and political agendas. Numerous law enforcement retirees provide shocking commentary and outspoken regret over a policy they helped enforce, only to realize it was a tragic mistake they now want to reverse.
