Are only Available By Subscription.. STORY: In 1987, Latif
Yahia was taken to Saddam's headquarters to meet Uday, Saddam's eldest

of the great likeness between them, he had been chosen to be Uday's double.
For many Iraquis, it would have been the highlight of their lives, but
for Latif, a peace-loving man who did not agree with Saddam's brutal regime,
it was not. He refused. Following a week of torture and realizing he would
be killed if he continued to refuse, Latif was forced to accept the role.
After a gruesome training program during which he was made to watch over
thirty films of torture, hours of tapes of Uday, and undertake a final
remodeling of his appearance, Latif was deemed ready. But it was only after
the final test, a meeting with Saddam himself, that Latif made his first
public appearance. And so began his life as Uday's double - a life on the
perimeter of the inner circle of Saddam's eldest son, a witness to the
horror of his insane life of debauchery, excess and brutality, and an experience
for which he almost paid with his life on more than one occasion. (Posted:

Are only Available By Subscription.. STORY: Mike and Devo
are just your two average white guys. Devo has spent the last few months
trying to sleep with the girl at the drive-thru window of Burger Barn and
Mike just found out his girlfriend of three years has been cheating on
him with a bus driver. To make matters worse, she took the dog too. Fed
up with their meaningless jobs at Wally’s Wiener World and life in general,
they decide to try their luck one more time as amateur wannabe runners
for the Finnish mafia run by the notorious "Fin" aka the polar bear. The
problem: The one and only previous job the two were finally entrusted with
went terribly wrong. They robbed the wrong store, (the Fin’s brother’s
store), and Devo shot him in the leg… by accident of course. To Devo’s
credit, he would have never guessed the Fin’s brother was a black dude
because "the Fin - he’s the fattest white guy I know". Rather than kill
them on the spot, the Fin decides to give them one more chance (he never
really liked his brother anyway) and Mike and Devo are given a job that
appears to be a simple and straightforward task – deliver a briefcase containing
an unidentified object to a specific address in Chicago within a week’s
time. However, as soon as they leave with the package, word gets out to
rival druglord Giovanni Strano that someone is trying to take over his
turf and word also makes it to the FBI who have been tracking the Fin for
quite some time and attempting to put him away for good. Mike and Devo
are suddenly caught up in a whirl of Russian hitmen, local mafiosos, Swedish
con-women, and one very mysterious suitcase that really quickly becomes
a serious pain in the ass... (Posted: April 14, 2009)

ORANGES AND SUNSHINE
- Winter, 2010 - UK & Australia; Details
Are only Available By Subscription.. STORY: The film is
about Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham, who uncovered
one of the most significant social scandals in recent times: the forced
migration of children from the United Kingdom. Almost single-handedly,
against overwhelming odds and with little regard for her own well-being,
Margaret reunited thousands of families, brought authorities to account
and worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice. Margaret
discovered a secret that the British government had kept hidden for years:
one hundred and thirty thousand children in care had been sent abroad to
commonwealth countries, mainly Australia. Children as young as four had
been told that their parents were dead, and been sent to children's homes
on the other side of the world. Many were subjected to appalling abuse.
They were promised oranges and sunshine, they got hard labour and life
in institutions. Margaret's an unstoppable force of nature. But she's also
a working mother trying to do her best for her own family, while she struggles
to repair the damage done to others. When a strange, angry Australian woman
accosts her on a rainy Nottingham night, Margaret thinks she's trying to
help one lost daughter find her mother. Instead, her investigation leads
to the discovery of thousands of other lost sons and daughters, who have
no-one to help them, speak for them or defend them. Margaret becomes their
only hope - the British and Australian governments show no interest in
even acknowledging their existence. No-one can know how they'll respond
to an almost impossible challenge. Margaret just picks it up. It takes
her on a journey from a tower block in Nottingham to remote childrens'
homes in the Australian outback. It challenges her own professional practice
as a social worker, tests her marriage and family to its limits, and leads
to threats on her life. On the way she meets thousands of adults still
carrying the damage done to them as children. Some are impossible for her
to turn away from, like gentle, enigmatic Jack; some are initially impossible
for her to warm to, like brash, wealthy Len. Some of them are reunited
with living parents, for some it is too late - their mothers are already
dead. All of them, through Margaret's work, become closer to her and each
other than any family they'd had or lost. (Posted: July 2, 2009)
