Trailer
Why watch this film?
This movie is based on a true story, about Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian doctor who discovered the link between repetitive head traumas in American football NFL players and a series of behavior and cognitive disorders, uncovering a new disease: chronic traumatic encephalopathy or boxer dementia. The feature film stars Will Smith and, although it has a relevant and current theme, it slips into clichés and melodrama. Nonetheless, it manages to inform the audience about a health problem that can also affect football players, boxers and other sports practitioners.

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.
