Trailer
Why watch this film?
With a brilliant performance by Hilary Swank (Oscar winner for 'Boys Don't Cry' and 'Million Dollar Baby'), 'Freedom Writers' is an engaging story about the everyday lives of students and teachers. However, going against the grain of what American cinema usually tends to forget, this one takes a risk. At the center of attention, we see a classroom in a peripheral school, far from the elites. Thus, director Richard LaGravenese (of the teenage fantasy 'Sixteen Moons') gets close to reality by showing the social and economic differences of a fragmented country, both inside and outside the school. A well-made drama, ideal for those who like those productions that ride the Oscar wave with emotional and inspiring stories.

Drama
Kidnapped
'Kidnapped' - The story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy living in Bologna, Italy, who in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
