Ethiopiques - Revolt of the Soul | Maciej Bochniak | Ethiopia | 2017 | 70 min
A film about the rise, fall and redemption of a group of spectacular Ethiopian Jazz musicians who in the swinging 60's ignited an explosive cultural revolution in Addis Ababa. Their music was sublime but this golden era was brought to an end by the military regime that took over the country and forced the musicians into exile and jail. Now, after many years, they are back on a world stage, making up for lost time and still swinging. The film follows the inspirational figures whose amazing life stories illustrate music's power of redemption in the face of war and heartbreak. Watch the film, HERE.

In remote South-Western Uganda, women who broke the taboo of premarital sex were abandoned on a tiny island to die. About to submerge beneath the waters of surrounding lake Bunyonyi, the island's last wish is to find survivors before her story becomes but a myth. Watch the film, HERE.
Ladies Turn | H l ne Harder | Senegal | 2012 | 52 min
In 2009, in Senegal, where football is king, a women's football street tournament is organised for the first time by the association Ladies' Turn.

Defying taboos and prejudices, the girls play on the fields for a growing audience. Will they be allowed to go all the way and play the game they love? Watch the film, HERE.

Her family wants her to get married, her chances of getting a decent job are slim and being an untouchable, she has to accept her position at the very bottom of the social ladder. But Thulasi is different. She wants to be in control of her own destiny and live life her own way. She wants to be someone. She wants to be a boxer. Watch the film, HERE.
