'The Ground Beneath Their Feet' tells the story of two young women who are paralyzed when a devastating earthquake strikes the north of Pakistan. Ruqiya and Khalida have not only lost the use of their legs, but also their place in society as their disability will not allow them to fulfill their culture role of becoming wives and mothers. What does this mean for their future? We follow their journey over the course of fives years as they struggle with their physical and emotional recovery, and reexamine what it means to be a woman in the Muslim world.

This documentary takes a hard look at the facts about the Filipina domestic, an Overseas Contract Worker (OCW) hanged in Singapore for the murder of her friend and fellow OCW, the nursemaid Della Maga. It documents Flor's accusation, confession, four years spent in prison, the lack of quality defensive support from the Philippine government and subsequent inaction when new evidence raised doubt about her guilt and the suggestion that Maga may have been killed by her employer. The chilling story is told with a combination of dramatic reenactment and documentary footage.
