Fight For Justice: David & Me
David McCallum was a 16-year-old kid from the mean streets of Brooklyn when he went to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. David has been incarcerated longer than Canadian filmmaker Ray Klonsky has been alive. But Klonsky has spent the last 10 years doing everything he can to help get David out of jail. Why? Because when Ray was a troubled teenager, David helped him turn his life around. Their unlikely bond turns this gut-wrenching wrongful conviction story into a transformative film about going the distance for what you believe.

While everyone would love to live a long life, Suzuki is more interested in living a longer, healthier one - so he’s taking a journey to discover if he’s still alive because of the choices he’s made, or if he’s just been lucky to have inherited good genes. *David Suzuki won the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award, Canadian Screen Awards

Kill Zone: Inside Gaza
Basement Films
1 x 60' | 1 x 75' HD
The story of the Israel-Hamas war told by those living through it in Gaza: the journalists trying to cover it as they lose dozens of beloved colleagues, the doctors trying to save lives and rebuild shattered bodies, the parents trying to reassure and feed frightened children, and the children left as WCNSF; “wounded child no surviving family”. KILL ZONE: INSIDE GAZA is the definitive account of the conflict, pairing character observation of a surgeon in Al-Shifa Hospital as it comes under attack, a journalist as she covers the chaos around her whilst losing close colleagues almost every day, a family striving to survive through food shortages, and two little girls with grievous leg injuries who have both lost their parents. These stories and more are combined with forensic analysis to deliver the story of the most intense military bombardment of the 21st century.
