Isabel is a mule, a Spanish gypsy who was arrested in Venezuela flying back to Spain with drugs. She was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter, Rosita, in prison. She now sleeps in prison at nights and during the day lives with her daughter in a shantytown in the mountains of Caracas. Destined to live away from her family in a foreign country, with no possible return to Spain, Isabel struggles to survive with daughter in the chaos and violence of Caracas. 'Sin Vuelta' is a portrait of exile, of the reconstruction of a life, but also the portrait of a city in the midst of convulsion.

SHADOW CHILD, a half-hour family documentary film, honors the power of one woman who, without help, money, or infrastructure, chose to change the future for thousands of the more than one-hundred-million orphan and refugee children around the world. Invigorated by her faith, like Mother Teresa, Norma Nashed, a Palestinian Arab woman, overcame a childhood of extreme poverty and, as a true hero of our culture, acted to house, feed, clothe, educate, and provide medical care for desperate children. As a testament to the integrity of her work, Charity Navigator recently rated Restore A Child, the international charity she founded, with a score of 100/100, a score fewer than 1% of charities receive. SHADOW CHILD makes use of animation, poetry, personal stories, and interviews to provide potent and educational viewing for the entire family.
