LONDON RIVER

LONDON RIVER

Two people, a Muslim man and a Christian woman, who are immediately affected by the July 2005 London bombings.

Set in the tragic aftermath of the terrorist bombings on July 7, 2005. Elisabeth Sommers (Brenda Blethyn) as she stumbles onto the life of a daughter she knew very little. Her search through London is paralleled to that of Ousmane (Sotigui Kouyate), an African living in France who has not laid eyes on his son since he was six. While Elisabeth stays in her daughter's apartment in a Muslim neighborhood, Ousmane camps out in a cheap hotel. Their first meeting ends with Elizabeth irrationally believing he knows where her daughter is and calling the police.

As their paths continue to overlap, Elisabeth's fear and distaste of Ousmane slowly melts, with differing religious backgrounds, these strangers find themselves united in the city of London, and linked by a shared tragedy: each has lost touch with a child amid the attacks - Mrs. Sommers, a daughter named Jane and Ousmane, a son named Ali - and it so happens that the two were dating. Together, the couple begin combing the city and searching for their loved ones - bound by a hope that both children survive

DEFENDOR

DEFENDOR

The Story:

When night falls and danger emerges from the shadows of Hammer Town’s alleyways, Defendor is the only man who stands between us and the drug-ravaged streets. He is the last bastion of decency, the last honourable man: he is Defendor!

But he is also Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson), a simple man who lives in the workshop of the construction company that employs him to hold traffic signs. Arthur is a self-made superhero who runs afoul of the law when he lays a beating on an undercover cop, Chuck Dooney (Elias Koteas), who was abusing a young prostitute named Kat (Kat Dennings).

Always the hero, Arthur takes Kat to his secret hideout hoping she can help him find his arch-nemesis, the diabolical Captain Industry. Mistakenly convinced that Captain Industry killed his mother, Arthur has made it his mission to track down this enemy at all costs. But in order to do so, he must first overcome his most difficult challenge ever: convincing the court-appointed psychiatrist Dr. Park (Sandra Oh) that he’s sane enough to be on the streets.”

Armed with unconventional weapons of mass confusion, aided by his new friend, and putting his life on the line, Defendor proves that everyone is capable of making a difference.
