BECAUSE WE WERE BORN
Puisque nous sommes nés
Duret and Santana followed the teenage boys Nego and
Cocada and their families for six months when they shot
Because We Were Born. Like flies on the wall and with minimal
interference from the directors, we follow the boys‘
everyday life when they hang out at the local gas station
and hear the drivers talk about a world they can only dream
of. The fatherless Cocada is determined to become a truck
driver...or a criminal, while Nego has more than enough
with his nine siblings. Because We Were Born is a moving
and heartfelt documentary. red
ISETA: BEHIND THE ROAD BLOCK
Iseta: Behind The Road Block
In 1994 a group of neighbours were accidentally filmed in
a quiet street in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. At the same
time, the genocide that killed almost a million of the country‘s
inhabitants began. Recreating the scene, this documentary
shows the fates of the victims, the military and the
witnesses. This quiet street saw some of the first casualties
fall, accidentally caputred by a British photographer.
The documentary provides insight into some of the many
involved in the conflict, and shows unique images from a
time that the rest world would like to forget. red
BLUE GOLD: WORLD WATER WARS
Blue Gold: World Water Wars
The most primary of all our natural resources, water, we
should not take for granted. Focusing on human-made
problems, Blue Gold investigates pollution, drought and privatisation
of water resources. The message is conveyed both
visually and through encounters with researchers, politicians
and activists. They all have an important common
message: the world supply of drinking water is about to
become a disastrous crisis if we do not act soon. Blue Gold
will radically alter public understanding of this our most
fundamental resource. js

CHILDREN OF THE PYRE
Children of the Pyre
DOCUMENTARIES
At the world‘s largest cremation ground in Varanasi, the
fire is burning around the clock. We meet seven young boys
who live, work and sleep around the funeral pyres. Considered
to be “dalit”, untouchables, the boys are fair game for
physical and verbal abuse. They make a living by helping
with the cremations, and by selling used burial shrouds
that they collect or steal. Children of the Pyre gives a unique
insight into the lives of these boys, their dreams and nightmares.
Shot in a simple style, the film is visually haunting
and will leave a lasting impression. ka
THE GENERAL
El General
With six hours of audio tapes, Natalia Almada weaves her
family history into the last 100 years of Mexican political
past. Her grandmothers voice talks about her life as
the daughter of one of Mexico‘s dictatorial men, former
president Plutarco Elias Calles. Even today the director sees
the same desperation among the people, as marked the
last century. Her grandmother‘s voice is enthralling, while
archive footage, photographs, historical facts and reflections
provide sharp contours to the shadows of the past, shadows
that still spread a chill over the nation. ls
HUGO REY
Hugo Rey y su doncella
In 2007 Venezuela‘s President Hugo Chávez started his
campaign to change the constitution, to allow for unlimited
re-elections of the President. Through TV-footage
and personal presence, this documentary follows the time
leading up to the referendum, showing what enormous
engagement it created both among Chávez’s sympathisers
and his opposition among studens. We also find Liliana, a
singel mother among hundreds of thousands in the slums
of Caracas, who in return for promises of a government
sponsored housing supports the President in his yearning
for power. rfa
