COLOMBIA: ROAD TO GLORY

This is the story of the last 30 years of Colombian football, a journey through the first Copa Libertadores won by a Colombian team, the qualification for the iconic Italia 90 World Cup, the famous 5 to 0 against Argentina that would give them qualification for the FIFA WORLD CUP in 1994, the disappointment in that World Cup in which the mafia that reigned in the country throughout that decade put pressure on the team. Going through the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the Copa América won in 2001 and the legacy that continues to this day. In this film, the intimacy of all these historical events is mixed with the political and criminal reality that Colombia experienced in the 90s. The fight to found a new structure in Colombian soccer amid the pressures of the cartels of Medellín, Cali and Bogota. Corruption and crime and the fight of a group of fundamentalist athletes for values and honesty to create something solid and sustainable over time.

This is the story of a country who came together in the face of adversity and pursued the dream of their national team, and how soccer was able to bring peace in times of extreme conflict.

Rada

Brazil 2002

This is the story of the greatest football team of all time. In 2002, under the leadership of Ronaldo, one of the best players ever to ever set foot on a football field, rising young starts such as Ronaldinho and Kaka helped the Brazilian national team win its fifth World Cup. Twenty years later, we celebrate their journey with a ground-breaking documentary. After an utterly humiliating defeat to France in the 1998 final, the “Seleção” was shunned by both the press and the fans like never before. Four years later, at the 2002 World Cup, head coach Scolari left legendary striker Romario out of the squad and went to Korea and Japan with a young team, full of hopes and uncertainties. With exclusive, never-before-seen footage, this film gives us unprecedented access to the team’s intimate journey, from the time they left Brazil as a national disgrace to their triumphant homecoming after winning the highly coveted world championship.

Vicuñas

This amazing story of the preservation of a species and the empowerment of a community takes place over 5,000 m above sea level, high up in the Peruvian Andes. The vicuña provides the world's finest textile fiber, and a single piece made of this fabric may cost thousands of dollars. This, unfortunately, makes it an attractive scenario for poachers and black-market vultures, who have nearly led to the species' extinction. In the 1970s, explorer Bill Franklin warned the Peruvian government, leading it to make a pact with global fashion labels and local communities: only certified vicuña fibers and products would be traded, and the communities would take responsibility for the care and sustainable exploitation of all the animals, as well as being entitled to its profits. This is how these peoples have since recovered ancestral lands that had belonged to them before the Spanish invasion. Somewhere along the way, Bill Franklin crossed paths with Mike Safley, responsible for one of the most powerful social actions in the area for years to come.

THE MISTERY OF PONT-SAINT-ESPRIT

This incredible documentary recounts and tries to figure out one of the greatest mysteries that have occurred in France in the XX century. The mystery of Pont-Saint-Esprit reviews the history of the town that saw its population wake up with hallucinations that affected hundreds of people, which caused the hospitalization of dozens in mental health homes and that caused at least 10 deaths.

For decades it was believed that the cause had been involuntary and massive contamination through bread that contained a grain of rye contaminated by a hallucinogenic mold. But a recently evidence point to a CIA experiment through which it sprayed the people of PSE with LSD in an intelligence program in which they proved the effects of this drug as a biological weapon at the beginning of the Cold War.
