The Distant Land of Siberia. Born There

Igarka – a town beyond the Arctic Circle, where Roberts, Andrejs, Nadežda, Anatolijs, and Inta were born in the 1950s. Their parents had been exiled there as children in 1941. Some managed to return to Latvia in 1956, others later. Nadja returned to Latvia with her little daughter only in 1993; her mother remained in the eternal frost. Anatolijs Taurenis did not return; Nadežda went to Igarka and found him. Inta's son went to his grandmother's place of exile because he wants to publish a book. The stories of the children of Igarka are varied. They do not want to talk about their childhood; the memories of their parents and grandparents are painful. They survived, and that is the main thing. Nadja calls her classmates in Russia every day. Others do not speak, some hang up because there is a war going on. Putin and television have convinced them.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".

Iverson

Iverson is the ultimate legacy of NBA legend Allen Iverson, who rose from a childhood of crushing poverty in Hampton, Virginia, to become an 11-time NBA All-Star and universally recognized icon of his sport. Off the court, his audacious rejection of conservative NBA convention and unapologetic embrace of hip hop culture sent shockwaves throughout the league and influenced an entire generation. Told largely in Iverson's own words, the film charts the career highs and lows of one of the most distinctive and accomplished figures the sport of basketball has ever seen.
