Black Box Diaries
When journalist Shiori Ito is raped by a colleague, she decides to seek justice, in the face of a Japanese culture of silence. In a legal battle that lasts years, she takes on police and politicians, and the unequal relationship between men and women.
The Last Expedition
A portrait of Polish mountaineer Wanda Rutkiewicz, who conquered eight Himalayan peaks before an apparently fatal fall in 1992—but is she in fact still alive, living in a Tibetan monastery? The search becomes a tribute to an inspirational sportsperson.
Where Dragons Live
Four adult siblings return to their parental home to clear it out following their mother’s death. The time has come to dissect the fairy tales of their unorthodox youth and look their monsters in the eyes.
No Other Land
An award-winning documentary about the ceaseless Israeli attacks on a network of Palestinian villages in the West Bank, heroically documented by a collective of Palestinian and Israeli journalists.
