Synopsis

A cinematic documentary filmed inside active war zones in Ukraine that reframes how conflict is witnessed and remembered. The film removes traditional narration, allowing only children's voices to shape its emotional and narrative architecture. Their testimonies unfold as a chorus of memory, loss, and fragile hope, transforming lived experience into a meditation on childhood under siege. Only Children's voices - no adults, no outside commentary, no mediation. The film's sonic landscape is shaped through an original symphonic score by Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman and an original Ukrainian-language piece created with a Grammy-winning Ukrainian composer, extending the children's voices beyond image into sound. Through this union of image and music, the film resists commentary and invites the audience into an intimate, human encounter with a generation growing up inside conflict.

Synopsis

This archival documentary traces the rise and fall of Richard Nixon and the death of the American dream, from the presidential primaries of 1968 through the Watergate break-in of June 1972 and Nixon’s resignation two years later, killing trust in the political process and the American presidency in the wake of the Vietnam War. Narrated by Harry Shearer (THIS IS SPINAL TAP), the film tells the untold story of the Watergate burglars, based on director Shane O’Sullivan’s book on the subject, and explores representations of the Nixon years in popular culture, using the music, commercials, and cinema of the era to evoke the fevered political landscape and the culture wars between Nixon’s silent majority and the radical anti-war left. How MEDIUM COOL, LION’S LOVE and SHAMPOO reflect on the political events of 1968; and how paranoid thrillers like THE CONVERSATION, TAXI DRIVER and ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN can be read in the context of the Watergate break-in and investigation which followed.
