Rita Leistner's award winning doc will now be released in the UK at the end of Jan and through Feb, for cities, theatre and ticket info, click below:

https://uk.demand.film/forest-for-the-trees/

A war photographer returns to her roots in the forestry industry in Canada to embed with a community of 100 tree planters who overcome grueling conditions and emotional difficulties to bring back a forest.

Driven by the perseverance and vulnerability of its subjects as much as by the harsh beauty of the landscape, Forest For The Trees is a never-before-seen immersion into the backbreaking labour of professional tree planting — a rite of passage that is as transformative and rewarding as it is challenging for the young planters reforesting the earth one tree at a time.

We are delighted to announce that we have acquired The Curve by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Adam Benzine!

"Adam’s doc hooked me in its first five minutes, playing out more as an investigative thriller that weaves its unfolding timeline through the political dismissal and mismanagement of the pandemic. We’re thrilled to be releasing the film, which so powerfully brings to light the arrogance and ignorance that needlessly killed so many Americans.” — Greg Rubidge, President of Syndicado.

In recognition of International Women's Day we want to share the story of one particularly extraordinary woman. As a baby, Jaha Dukureh was subject to female ge***al mutilation and at the age of 15 she was taken to New York City to marry a middle-aged man she had never met. One decade after escaping her forced marriage Jaha returns to Gambia on a journey to confront the power structures responsible for her abuse, both in Africa and in the West. This is a story of strength, resilience, and courage—not victimhood. Jaha is a fighter, and her demands are clear, respect the rights of girls no matter what society they live in. Jaha's Promise is available to watch on iTunes and Google Play! https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Jaha_s_Promise?id=6lELB1KC1Y8.P

Jaha's Promise tells the story of a young woman who returns home to campaign against the brutal female ge***al mutilation practices that almost destroyed her life.
