KUMARE
(2011)

A documentary from Vikram Gandhi, a New Jersey-born-Indian-American who launches a deliberate deception, to reinvent himself as Kumare, a swami from the Himalayas, intended to expose the hollowness behind many self-appointed New Age and pseudo-eastern gurus. But his elaborate stunt does not go exactly as planned.

HAPPY PEOPLE: YEAR IN THE TAIGA
(2010)

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Werner Herzog embarks on a journey into the village of Bakhta deep in the Siberian wilderness inhabited by a mere 300 people, a society untouched by modernity. The locals, whose daily routines have hardly changed over the centuries, live self-reliantly according to their cultural traditions.

CENTRAL PARK FIVE
(2012)

An examination of the 1989 New York City case when five black and Latino teenagers were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York's Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned.

LAST SHOP STANDING
(2012)

A documentary that takes you behind the counter to discover why nearly 2000 record shops have already disappeared across the U.K., charting the rapid rise of record shops in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the influence of the chart, the underhand deals, the demise of vinyl and rise of the CD as well as new technologies.

PINK RIBBONS INC.
(2011)

A documentary that shows how breast cancer has become the poster child of corporate-cause marketing campaigns, raising millions of dollars, but asks - where does the money go, and what does it actually achieve?

GREAT BARRIER REEF
(2012)

Visible from space, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on the planet. Given world heritage status in 1981, it is one of the wonders of the world. This film reveals how it was created, how it works, the intricate relationships between its inhabitants, and how climate change might shape its future.

SOUND CITY
(2013)

A documentary on the fabled recording studio located in Van Nuys, California amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. Artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Slipknot and Nirvana recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days until its closing in 2011.

YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED
(2012)

A group of proud Scottish homeowners take on Donald Trump as he gets set to destroy the crown jewels of Scotland's national heritage in order to build a luxury golf resort. The local residents make their last stand in the face of police harassment, costant legal threats and interruption of their water and electricity.
