Synopsis

In a near future in rural Britain, Mustafa cares for his deaf sister, Amna, spending their days together in their hidden, isolated home. One morning, anti-immigration vigilantes descend, tearing them apart and leaving each to navigate fear, loss, and the quiet brutality of a world shaped by far-right policies. Amna escapes and searches for her brother, moving through the fields with determination, only to witness a horrific event. A meditation on family, the unbreakable ties between siblings, and the devastating cycles of violence that fracture lives. Against the backdrop of systemic oppression, the film explores how hate divides families, how love endures, and how the human heart persists even in the face of destruction.

Synopsis

This film follows the Fukushima disaster as it unfolds - minute by minute, from multiple perspectives. From the plant workers risking their lives to avert catastrophe, to survivors escaping devastation, to government officials racing against time to regain control. Leaked conversations between TEPCO and the plant expose panic, deception, and how close Japan came to irreversible devastation. Archival footage reveals the psychology of a nation- gleaming reactors symbolizing prosperity, propaganda videos, even children’s cartoons like Little Plutonium Boy, eerily juxtaposed with Fukushima’s grim reality. Epic, immersive, and definitive, this film blends raw testimony with breathtaking archive footage. Viewers will live through the disaster, experiencing its claustrophobia and terror. Dramatic recreations merge seamlessly with real footage, amplifying tension like a thriller. A ticking clock and rising radiation levels underscore the desperate efforts to contain the accident, while sound design, music, and haunting imagery convey the horror of nature turning against us—earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear fallout.

Synopsis

Former war correspondent Jason Frey struggles to reconnect with ordinary life as he prepares for fatherhood. A social visit turns dark when celebrity hypnotist Timothy Bevan invites guests to explore their “past lives.” Jason, dismissive at first, is subjected to hypnosis and suddenly finds himself inside the mind of a brutal murderer. Gripped by the violent clarity of the experience, Jason returns to Bevan to dig deeper rather than dismiss what he has seen. Their journey reveals a series of memories tied to a real, unsolved serial murder that took place the year Jason was born. Retired journalist Elliot Reed helps Jason piece together the archival trail - but when evidence points toward Sebastian Crane, a respected academic, the logic becomes impossible. If Crane is Jason’s past self, then Jason shouldn’t exist. As Jason’s confidence unravels and the danger increases, he and Clara are pulled into a quest for truth that blurs memory, identity, and reality itself. When Bevan is murdered, Jason faces the horrifying possibility that what he unearthed may not be mere recollection but something deadly real.
