Camino De Santiago: The Pilgrims Speak – Since the Middle Ages, millions of pilgrims have made their way to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Santiago, Spain for spiritual and religious reasons and to fill a need for self-discovery. Rich Henkels takes us on his trek across northern Spain, along the most popular route, the Camino Frances, visiting with fellow pilgrims, exploring their motivations, deepest hopes and ultimate findings. These 32 minutes will open your heart and mind and perhaps move you to take on your own pilgrimage along the Way of Saint James.
Sakas – Three young Nepalese friends find their lives forever changed by a corrupt system that pits them against each other. Sanus wants to be a licensed bike delivery driver but is forced into a dangerous, unlicensed black market. Sanus’ best friend, Girish, has a new job as a policeman, which he unhappily realizes includes taking bribes from Sanus’ mafia boss. Both of them are in love with Binisha, whose dream is to start her restaurant. A corrupt, bureaucratic system wrecks their dreams, but their spirit and love for each other cannot be broken even in tragedy.
Forging a Country – Forging a Country is a short film covering the re-election of President Nayib Bukele. Director Jessica Solce captures the mood on the streets and behind the scenes in El Salvador leading up to President Bukele’s historic landslide 2nd term election.
