When Gram Parsons died in a hale of self inflicted narcotics in 1973 his best buddy and road manager, Phil, took it upon himself to fulfil an old promise, cremation in the desert of Joshua Tree. Not everybody however, in fact nobody, share Phil's beliefs, and with only a flower power hearse and an increasingly disgruntled hippy for company he races across the desert with the law, gram's family and gram's lovers in hot pursuit. Based (loosely) on true events, Gram Parsons is both a funny and tou

In 1994 in the East African state of Rwanda long simmering resentment between the 2 largest ethnic groups erupted into one of history's worst ever bloodbaths. In the midst of this emerged a hero, the manager of Rwanda's only four-star hotel, who, armed with little more than his wit and tremendous courage, succeeds in keeping the fascist killing hordes from slaughtering him, his family, and the over 1,000 refugees sheltering in his hotel. An awesome indictment of racism, mass murder and the poli

The incredible story of the irrepressible Dieter Dengler, a German born pilot in the U.S. navy who was shot down, captured, tortured and interred in a POW camp during the beginning of the Vietnam war. One of the few American prisoners to escape such captivity, Dengler accompanies Werner Herzog to Laos to recreate his remarkable story in this fascinating documentary that manages through Herzog's inimitable style and Dengler's preternatural optimism and humour to transcend it's unsettling subje find out more...

Once again the Koreans show us how to make a top-notch thriller. In the mid-eighties and early nineties a series of brutal sex murders took place in Korea's Gyeonggi Province. Two local cops and a special detective from Seoul are charged with hunting down the killer, but with few clues and even fewer witnesses all they have to show for their hard work is mounting frustration and rancour. Set against the political backdrop of a government more concerned with suppression than investigation, Memori

On November 13th 1990 the small New Zealand town of Aramoana was taken hostage by one of its own residents, the angry and embittered David Gray, a socially and emotionally crippled man who felt ostracized and jeered at by those he lived amongst. On that fateful day Gray murdered 13 men, women and children, and was prevented from further slaughter only by the dogged, but ill-prepared, local police. "Out Of The Blue" is a harrowing and powerful observation of events, stunningly filmed with a gritt

‘Fast, Fair and Balanced'. So the FOX News credo goes. This compelling (if slightly overcooked) documentary about the systematic bias inherent in Murdoch's Neo-Conservative news channel is a must see to anyone with a passing interest in how They take Their news over There. From explaining how FOX's misinformation led to a massive percentage of its viewers believing there was a proven link between Iraq and Al Quaeda to a sensational interview with the belligerent Bill O'Reilly chastising the son

The follow-up to the astounding ‘Paradise Lost’. More and more, especially forensic, evidence comes to light that the non-existent case against the 3 is just that. Much of the film focuses on the prime alternative suspect, the step-father of one of the murdered children, a dangerously barking Church-going redneck, but the rightwing local state bureaucracy don't want to know, they've already got their man (sorry children). Damien, Jason and Jessie have matured visibly in prison, with Damien perha

TIn 1993 the naked and mutilated bodies of three 8-year-old boys where found in a shallow creek near the sleepy redneck Arkansas town of Robin Hood Hills. The ensuing police investigation soon focused on three local teens who dressed in black, had vaguely non-Christian beliefs and enjoyed heavy metal music. A rushed investigation and the pitiful court case that followed were all filmed with unprecedented access by a HBO documentary crew who came to believe that the three suspects were victims of
