2019 is the 25th anniversary of the ANC and Nelson Mandela coming to power as liberators for oppressed people in South Africa. In Mandela's quest for equal opportunity for all citizens whatever their skin colour, education was supposed to be the central pillar. Three school students, aided by their teachers, want to join the success story this country was meant to become, post-Apartheid. Their backgrounds reflect the deep inequalities of the past but South Africa still has one of the worst schooling systems on the planet. Who will prosper, despite a broken education system and who will fail because of it?

A portrait of a brutal military dictatorship made during a three month visit to Chile in 1985 by David Bradbury. The footage reveals a country torn with civil strife and political unrest; military intimidation of the population; indiscriminate arrests: murder torture and disappearances were facts of Chilean life. Bradbury’s film traces the 12 years from 1973 to 1985 of General Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship whose forces seized power in a bloody, US-backed coup that left Marxist president Salvador Allende dead and with him any hopes of democracy remaining in Chile. Under General Pinochet’s rule 50,000 Chileans have been detained, and many are missing, believed dead.
