工程師在多年前在馬里的農(nóng)村出生，由於他是私生子，未幾已被逐出農(nóng)村。為了建設(shè)水道工程，以及搞清他父親的身份，他重回故土。不料村中的少年突然遇溺，長老均指責(zé)工程師回鄉(xiāng)激怒了水神，唯一平息她的怒火就是要犧牲。水能續(xù)命，也能奪命，鏡頭下非洲的景致雖然懾人優(yōu)美，卻也映襯人與神、自然與宗教的迷思。
An engineer returns to the rural village of his birth in Mali many years after having been cast out for being born out of wedlock, to uncover the identity of his father and initiate a waterworks project. However, the fact that his arrival coincides with the drowning of a young villager alerts the village elders, who confer and determine that Faro, the spirit who rules the waters has been angered by Zanga''s return and the only way to appease her anger is with sacrifice. The African landscape is photographed beautifully and it deftly navigates the maelstrom of modern Africa while giving voice to the power of one individual to affect change.

善良的阿密是印度新德里的人力車司機(jī)，他乘載了一個年老富翁，古怪的老頭給他小費(fèi)，阿密卻婉拒，老頭深深被觸動，老翁尋找的不是他的錢財可以買到的東西──人性的希望及平靜的靈魂。雖然他的貪婪親戚一直覬覦他的遺產(chǎn)，他最後竟然讓阿密繼承他的財產(chǎn)，最貧困的人往往已經(jīng)最富有；簡單而饒有深意的寓言故事，毫無矯飾地將濃烈的印度色彩描繪成燦爛的人情。
A humble rickshaw driver in Delhi, India who, by nature of his selflessness, influences a dying man to bequeath his fortune to him. Director Richie Mehta uses a delicate hand to convey old-fashioned yet profound values of goodwill and benevolence. Showing us an unvarnished India rich in flavour, Amal is a powerful and touching story of one man''s decency. Mehta brings a serene wisdom to Amal that captivates and transports us. It also viscerally conveys the feel of working-class Delhi. Nuanced performances from some of India''s most revered and beloved performers enhance the film''s authenticity and immediacy.

珊特拉在非洲白人家庭里生長，倒是一副黑人的面孔――淺棕色的皮膚及一頭鬈發(fā)，令她在種族主義的陰影下吃盡苦頭。雖然父母都疼愛她，但因著珊特拉的膚色，她被狠狠地趕出一所白人的寄宿學(xué)校；家人擁有優(yōu)越條件，她卻沾不上邊。適值六十年代南非實施種族隔離政策，她的父母忙不迭為她爭取「白人」的地位，卻展開了一場「黑白之爭」；珊特拉以無盡的心力讓自己覺醒作為非洲女性的身份及文化價值。本片改編自真人真事，處處流露潛藏的悲哀。
From a white African family but possessing of black African physical features, Sandra Laing defies the classifications that served as the foundation of South Africa''s systemic racism. Sandra is loved and nurtured by her parents. It is not until she is thrown out of the same all-white boarding school that her brother attends that reality sets in: Sandra will not have the same opportunities as everyone else in her family. Sandra''s parents immediately set out to have her legally classified as "white" in 1960s apartheid-era South Africa, setting in motion a legal battle that marks Sandra with the strength and self-awareness that ultimately enables her to embrace her identity and cultural legacy as an African woman. It is impossible to watch this film, which is based on a true story, without being swept up by the undercurrent of sadness.

In his trailblazing 30-year career, Béla Fleck has brought the instrument into jazz, pop, classical and world music settings, and won eight Grammys along the way. Throw down Your Heart follows American banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck on his journey to Africa to explore the little known African roots of the banjo and record an album. It''s a boundary-breaking musical adventure that celebrates the beauty and complexity of Africa. Using his banjo, Fleck''s trip transcends barriers of language and culture and provides a glimpse into the incredibly rich and diverse musical traditions of Africa. He encounters a dizzying array of musicians who vary in skill and prestige, from superstars like the Malian diva Oumou Sangare, to the one who has mastered a 12-foot xylophone.

六十歲的丹尼斯?林拔在佛羅里達(dá)主理地產(chǎn)業(yè)務(wù)，搖身一變卻在菲律賓登臺獻(xiàn)唱。
丹尼斯是七十、八十年代享負(fù)盛名的歌手及監(jiān)制，無論任何類型的音樂──搖滾、鄉(xiāng)謠、節(jié)奏怨曲，都能在流行榜上占一席位，甚至曾在美國Billboard的熱爆流行榜的一百首歌中同時雄踞四首歌，這個紀(jì)錄只有披頭四與他平分秋色。他的兒子祖迪初執(zhí)導(dǎo)筒，紀(jì)錄父親在臺上的風(fēng)采，首首金曲娓娓動聽，觀眾齊齊唱之余，亦感染他對音樂的澎湃熱熾，以及窩心的世道人情。
Dennis Lambert, a 60-year-old family man selling real estate in Florida, is about to embark on a whirlwind concert tour to the Philippines. His son Jody is taking a camera to document this historic moment in his father''s life, through the remote outer islands of the Philippines to a sold-out show at Manila''s famous Araneta Coliseum. One of the most successful and diverse songwriter-producers of the 70s and 80s, Lambert''s hits include Ain''t No Woman Like the One I''ve Got, Rhinestone Cowboy ,Don''t Pull Your Love and Baby Come Back. He had chart toppers in almost every genre of music, and at one point four of his songs were simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a feat previously accomplished only by the Beatles. Of All the Things offers an entertaining, exhilarating, warmly human and inspiring tale of the enduring power of the creative spirit.

英國廣播公司的紀(jì)錄片系列「為何要民主?」的其中一部片集，在片首已提出「女性是否比男性更民主？」，只為標(biāo)示二零零五 年十一月，艾倫o約翰遜o瑟利芙成為非洲第一位投票選出的女總統(tǒng)。瑟利芙的內(nèi)閣迅即委任一群精明強(qiáng)干的女性，以求重建利比里亞，亦免於國家再延續(xù)幾近二十年的殘酷內(nèi)戰(zhàn)所帶來的禍害。導(dǎo)演捕捉不少難以一見、也具歷史意義的鏡頭，見證非洲獨特的民主新一頁。
The film was broadcast internationally as part of BBC''s Why Democracy? season of films, BBC inserted a question "Are women more democratic than men?".at the opening of the film. After nearly two decades of brutal civil war, Liberia is a nation ready for change. In November 2005, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa''s first elected female president. The Sirleaf Cabinet quickly appointed a team of strong women over the course of their turbulent first year in office. They try to rebuild their country and prevent it from slipping back into civil war. With incredible access, the director is able to record these pivotal moments throughout this historic year, in a uniquely redemptive African story with a new paradigm for leadership around the world.

加西士是二零零四年國際拳擊聯(lián)合會初中量級的世界冠軍，但在他六歲之時，他被叛軍綁架為烏干達(dá)的孩童士兵；他將這段哀痛而有力的個人經(jīng)歷融入每次的拳擊賽，狠狠揮拳。縱使他實現(xiàn)了不折不扣的美國夢，他在非洲戰(zhàn)爭的經(jīng)歷一直教他耿耿於懷；他的另一個夢想只希望回到烏干達(dá)，但當(dāng)?shù)卣餮运灰ぷ阍摰兀幢粚徲崬榱魍龇葑樱坏┒ㄗ铮蜁惶帥Q。導(dǎo)演基夫?大衛(wèi)遜細(xì)致著墨這個極有魅力的年輕拳手，并見證他將傷痛化成希望的過程，感人至深。
Kassim "The Dream" Ouma is the 2004 IBF Junior Middleweight champion of the world, and a former Ugandan child soldier who was abducted into a rebel army at the age of six. Kassim brings this powerful and painful personal history into the ring with him every time he fights. Despite the fact that Kassim is closer to the American Dream than most people will ever be, his wartime experiences in Africa still gnaw at his conscience. Kassim isn''t asking for anything more than a safe return to the country he fled, but the government publicly declares that if Kassim returns to Uganda, he will be tried for desertion and, if found guilty, executed. Director Kief Davidson gives us an intimate portrait of a charismatic young athlete who has reached the point in his life when he feels compelled to transform a legacy of sorrow into hope and inspiration.
