Synopsis

California ‘77: playground of the rich and famous, sun-soaked, sex-crazed and powered by shitloads of Colombian cocaine. Leading the parade is maverick auto-designer John DeLorean, a high-risk gambler and corporate vampire. Blinded by ambition, even if that means selling his soul, DeLorean will stop at nothing to design the ultimate car of the future, a sports car with wings.
On the outside looking in is DeLorean’s neighbour Jim Hoffman, barely supporting his family while living high-end on the pay of a low-end bullshit artist. When busted by the feds with a planeload of drugs, Jim is forced to turn snitch by Special Agent Benedict Tisa. His ultimatum: deliver the head of John DeLorean.
A turbo-charged tale of ambition, entrapment and betrayal based on a true story of sting operations and lurid celebrity scandals.

Synopsis

A feature documentary about Oscar Pistorius, the Paralympic and Olympic athlete who shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of Valentine’s Day in 2013, and whose culpable homicide sentence was later overturned and replaced with a murder conviction by the South African Court of Appeal in December 2015.
The film explores the tragedy of Steenkamp’s death; alongside a look at South Africa’s turbulent society. Over twenty years after Nelson’s Mandela’s seeming triumph over adversity, the country, born out of the violence of apartheid, has so far been unable to overcome the profound damage inflicted upon it – mired in racial tensions, a culture of gun crime, corruption and violence – and failing institutions seemingly unable to resuscitate the dreams of a nation.
