Trailer
Why watch this film?
Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and awarded at several Canadian festivals, 'Indian Horse: An Unbreakable Spirit' is a powerful drama based on the homonymous novel by Objiwa Richard Wagamese. Therefore, in addition to being an inspiring story about overcoming racial stereotypes and other personal obstacles (as it usually is with any good sports movie), it is also an interesting look at the culture of Canada's native indigenous people and the discrimination they have faced for decades.

Grand Isle
Nicolas Cage has a tumultuous and inconsistent relationship with the movies. In 'Mother and Father', the actor plays a character who attempts to murder his children in an outlandish and strange plot. In 'Fury' and 'The Rescue', meanwhile, he takes on the role of investigator as he discovers his daughter's kidnapping. Now, in 'Grand Isle', he blends these stories together as he plays a father who is accused of violently murdering his son and desperately needs to prove his innocence. Under the direction of Stephen S. Campanelli (of 'Indian Horse' and 'Momentum'), the actor enters a spiral of bizarre events -- and a typical Cage performance -- to give the story some gas and emotion. It's not a police or investigative film that reinvents the wheel or makes us look at these alternative Nicolas Cage productions again. But those who like this format and the American star will have fun. After all, Nicolas Cage is never enough. We always need more of his performances.
Indian Horse
"Indian Horse" follows the life of Saul Indian Horse, a talented hockey player, dealing with racism against Canadian natives in the 1970s, in a residential school. This is a difficult movie to watch, but very necessary. This movie shows the brutal and harsh reality of life in these institutions. Giving a view and understanding to those who are not aware of this reality. Raw, painful, disturbing and exciting, this narrative manages to give weight and make an alert.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
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.
