An unflinching look at the #FeesMustFall student movement that burst onto the South African political landscape in 2015 as a protest over the cost of education.

The story is told by four student leaders at Wits University and their Vice Chancellor, Adam Habib, a left-wing, former anti-apartheid student activist. When Habib’s efforts to contain the protest fail, he brings 1000 police on to campus. There are dire consequences for the young leaders. By blending dramatic unfolding action with a multi-protagonist narrative, much of the drama lies in the internal struggles the activists have around the weight of leadership.

Threaded through the film is a pulse of anticipation, shared across the generational divide, that somehow these youth have reached breaking point and won’t back down until they achieve the kind of social transformation that previous generations had long given up on.

Boere Op Die Aardsdrempel handel oor ’n klein groepie Afrikaanssprekendes in ’n afgeleë gedeelte van Patagonia in Argentinië wat ’n heenkome gevind het na die verwoestende Anglo-Boereoorlog.

Die groep Boere het ’n honderd jaar gelede die Atlantiese Oseaan oorgesteek opsoek na ’n nuwe lewe, vry van die onderdrukkende Britse koloniale heerskappy. Die verloop van tyd het gepaard gegaan met die verval van hul kultuur en die stelselmatige agteruitgang van die gebruik van Afrikaans. ’n Handvol inwoners wat steeds Afrikaans praat, is gewikkel in ’n stryd om hul taal en kultuur te red.

Die film fokus op die laaste dae van hierdie Afrikaanse gemeenskap en een familie se hartsverlange om kontak te maak met Suid-Afrika.

Written and produced by BAFTA Award winning producer Laurence Rees, and using fresh new research, Auschwitz offers a unique perspective on the camp in which more than one million people were ruthlessly murdered.

The series follows the trail of evil from the very first origins of Auschwitz as a place to hold Polish political prisoners, through the Nazi solution for what they called 'the Jewish problem', to the development of the camp as a mechanised factory for mass murder. It interweaves exceptional new testimony from camp survivors and members of the SS with archive footage and drama reconstructions of some of the key decision-making moments.

Sensitively shot drama sequences, filmed on location using German and Polish actors, bring recently discovered documents to life on screen, whilst specially commissioned computer images give a historically accurate view of Auschwitz-Birkenau at all its many stages.

The computer animated images are based on plans from the Auschwitz construction office, which were captured after the war, eye-witness testimony and aerial photos.
