The film tells the story of the life and struggles of Oleksiy Vadaturskyy, an entrepreneur who created Ukraine's largest agricultural holding company, NIBULON. When Yanukovych's clan tried to take over the business, Vadaturskyy was subjected to searches by the Security Service of Ukraine, tax audits, and arson attacks on his offices. Vadaturskyy chose to use only legal methods — through the courts and international pressure. His victory was a unique case in which Ukrainian business defeated a corrupt government and inspired a new generation of entrepreneurs.

For the launch of ‘Operation Sunbird’, a new channel of inconvenient truths about Israel and Palestine, Indya Moore, Rain Dove and Heydon Prowse posed as real estate influencers to gain access to the Israeli realtors, hoteliers and developers making a killing from real estate and tourism on Palestinian land. The documentary follows Rain Dove on their Aliyah journey from undercover filming at a New Jersey Property Expo to the Occupied West Bank. Aliyah is the right of anyone with Jewish ancestry to resettle in Israel. Rain doesn’t identify as Jewish, and the land isn’t in Israel (it’s in Palestine), but having a Jewish great-grandfather and a big deposit can make all those problems disappear, and qualify Rain for official tax breaks and special mortgage assistance from the Israeli government.

Yudha Chitra (Frames of War) is a stark reminder that peace has not yet come for those directly affected by Nepal’s 11-year conflict. The film brings us the voices of those whose relatives were killed or disappeared or who were disabled during the conflict. Suffering and pain reside in individuals and individual bodies, which we often forget under the collective ‘people’. The film excavates individual stories while accompanying a traveling exhibition of A People War that in 2007-2008 traversed the country for more than three months and was seen by more than 300,000 people. The film also reminds us that public acknowledgement of what happened is a precondition for healing.
This is one of the most beautiful rewilding stories of our time, that of Douglas and Kristine Tompkins, a couple of successful entrepreneurs – The North Face and Esprit – who decided to dedicate themselves to protecting vast territories in Patagonia. The results of their actions are astounding: in 30 years they enabled the creation and expansion of 18 national parks between Chile and Argentina, covering a total area of 7 million hectares, equivalent to the size of a country like Ireland. By transforming these spaces and reconstructing natural ecosystems, the development of these parks has also enabled the creation of social bonds, developed a new form of economic activity, brought forth a political space, and contributed to strengthening the population’s sense of belonging to their territories.
