When Bridget Hilton-Barber got on a train to Grahamstown in 1982 to study journalism at Rhodes University, she had no idea of the brutal drama that would unfold.
A rebellious young woman, she became politically involved in anti-apartheid organisations and was caught up in the massive resistance and repression sweeping the Eastern Cape at the time. She ended up spending three months in detention without trial, and after her release discovered she had been betrayed by one of her best friends, Olivia Forsyth, who was a spy for the South African security police.
Thirty years later, a horrific flashback triggers Bridget’s journey back to the Eastern Cape to see if she can forgive her betrayer and finally let go of the extraordinary violence she encountered in the final days of apartheid. This is her powerful story.

America is quickly eroding as a nation. Our political, economic,
and social structures have collapsed, and life as we know it is
quickly disappearing. To correct our decline, Republicans argue
that we need less government, and Democrats argue that we need more
government. Both parties claim understanding, but apparently
neither has wisdom. Unfortunately, we have failed to consult God in
our attempt to recover.
God's word provides a clear illustration regarding where America
is politically, economically, and socially in Genesis and Exodus.
The demise of America parallels almost perfectly with the demise of
the Israelites in Egypt. The similarities are eerily
disturbing.
If God's word is true, that we reap what we sow, then it is
equally true that we, like the Israelites, control the harvest. The
Israelites' harvest included 430 years of bondage, and it is
becoming increasingly apparent that America's harvest will result
in nothing less, but remember; we controlled the harvest.
Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

mysterious new arrival at a girls' boarding school in director Mary
Hannon's adaptation of Rachel Klein's gothic novel. Helped to
recovery by her best friend Lucy (Sarah Gadon) after the suicide of
her father, sixteen-year-old Rebecca (Sarah Bolger) soon begins to
feel ostracised when Lucy falls under the spell of darkly moody
newcomer Ernessa (Lily Cole). When her concerns about the new
student's motives are dismissed as jealousy by Lucy, a chance
reading of a gothic novel triggers the belief in Rebecca that
Ernessa may in fact be a vampire and is trying to steal her
friend's life force. When staff and pupils at the school suddenly
begin to suffer a series of deadly freak accidents, Rebecca decides
to uncover the truth about Ernessa once and for all.

Once, Beth was a different person, convinced she was living her dream
life with the enigmatic wellness group, Elixir. But when that dream
became a nightmare, she had no choice but to run, no matter what – or
who – stood in her way.
Ten years later, exhausted and struggling with the pressures of
motherhood, she receives a mysterious letter bearing only the infinity
symbol, and knows immediately it is from them.
The past she’d run from has finally caught up with her, and the secrets
she’s tried so hard to hide will soon be uncovered. Can she finally
escape them for good, or will her freedom pay the ultimate price?
If wellness is the new religion, what happens when it’s taken too far?
