Peter Jackson directs this homage to the British troops of the First World War with never-before-seen-footage of soldiers as they faced fear and uncertainty of frontline battle in Belgium. Digitally remastered and now in color, the footage has been studied by lip reading experts whose transcripts were recorded and used as audio for the film. Overlayed by a narrative of those who partook in the war from interviews made in the 1960s and 1970s, this historic revisiting marks one hundred years since the end of the Great War.

Early 18th century England is at war with the French. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen's companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.

"Weisz and Stone are both brilliantly witty and nimble, but Colman's performance is nothing short of sublime." - New York Times

2,200 miles, 14 states, 16 Everests, 5 million steps. The United States' Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine is the longest hiking-only trail in the world. It is often described as the toughest trail in the U.S. Of the estimated 3,400 hikers who attempted the full AT 'thru-hike' in 2017, only 848 completed it. One of those was Bermuda's Rory Gorman.

 

Come hear how Rory, despite being a hiking and camping novice, accomplished this epic adventure. Hear about the gear he used and carried all the way, the people and wildlife he encountered, the highs and lows he experienced.

This propulsive, globetrotting thriller from acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom is a breathless tour through the shadowy underworlds and hidden realms of Pakistan and India.

Despite his cool efficiency, the plot quickly spirals out of control, sending Jay and his hostage on the run across the border and through the railway stations, back alleys, and black markets of New Delhi-as all the while attractions simmer, loyalties shift, and explosive secrets are revealed.

Halla is a fifty-year-old independent woman. But behind the scenes of a quiet routine, she leads a double life as a passionate environmental activist.

As Halla's actions grow bolder, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage, she succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the corporation building a new aluminum smelter. But right as she begins planning her biggest and boldest operation yet, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything. Icelandic with English sub-titles.

" NEAR PERFECT. Is there anything rarer than an intelligent feel-good film that knows how to tackle urgent global issues? Look no further." - Variety
