The abortion battle continues to rage in unexpected ways on one corner in an American city.

There is nothing left of the American dream on the Nine--a solemn destination, a resting place for those who have relinquished the dream. Modesto is a city that lies in California's Central Valley, a region devastated during America's Great Depression. Modesto's notorious South Ninth Street-the Nine-is a no man's land where the rules of polite society do not apply. The people living along the Nine form a ravaged micro community whose Darwinian existence is a day to day hustle, and survival is by any means necessary. Kiki, however, is the rare bright light whose magnetic optimism is a means of self-preservation. Her childlike enthusiasm belies the stark reality that surrounds her. THE NINE, filmed in an elegiac style, honors the casualties of a broken system-people who might otherwise be forgotten. Like a Townes Van Zandt song, THE NINE is a film about the beauty of those who fall by the wayside, a bittersweet country ballad that feels at times like a lost page by John Steinbeck or William Faulkner.

C.T. Fletcher shows you his story, and what he's all about.

"Forførerens Fald" (The Fall of the Seducer), is a film about the legendary Danish newspaper "Dagen" and its fatal crack in 2002. For the first time in Danish medias, the man behind "Dagen", - the mysterious and charming Danish developer genius, - Peter Linck, - tells his incredible story of how he seduced all the sharpest journalists in the entire country to leave their tops jobs to work for him, and how this high flying and extremely extravagant newspaper adventure ended in a nightmare for everybody involved with a debt of 70 million Kroner. The film uses a ground-braking new way of mixing fiction scenes with documentary material, making the involved persons act themselves in precise reconstructions of the real events. This way the film follows Linck's personal crisis with his family and friends, as his legendary self assurance and charm gradually breaks down totally. It's the story of choosing between career or family, - about putting everything at stake for your life dream, - the story of how to rise again after hitting the bottom of your life.
