Part 1 of Wajda's trilogy of wartime films, the hopeful one, is set in Wola, a working-class area of Warsaw in 1942, and deals with the graduation of a bunch of semi-delinquent street kids, through individual acts of defiance and courage, into a youth resistance group.

A harrowing and necessarily disturbing re-enactment of the terrible events that took place on January 30th 1972, when soldiers of the parachute regiment shot dead 13 unarmed civilians. The exact truth of events is not fully known even today, but the killings, on what would become known as "Bloody Sunday", must bare much responsibility for the escalation of violence in Northern Ireland. A conflict lost in blind hatred, where religious denomination became the focus for morally defunct and murderou

Considering the present situation in Afghanistan and the light hearted nature of this film Charlie Wilson's War would seem a doomed enterprise but the script i

In a not far off dystopian future women have become infertile and governments have forgotten that Orwell's ‘1984' was supposed to be a searing indictment of what NOT to do. Into this less than hopeful world arrives a young woman who has achieved the miracle of pregnancy, everyone wants the child as a cynical totem for the people, and those planning rebellion are as ruthless as those in power. Finding a reluctant but increasingly determined guardian in the form of Theo, mother and child go in sea
