Freak Waves
This documentary explores freak waves, up to 140 feet high, which for many years were thought to be no more than sailors' stories. The film reveals that they are not only real, but fairly common. It uses both recreation and actual footage to show the devastation and loss of life caused when freak waves have impacted ships, an oil platform, and have even caused loss of life on land (spoiler: don't approach a ninety-foot wave along the shore!). It further explores the way scientists study these waves in order to improve predicting them as well as surviving them through improving techniques to build ships which can withstand their punishing impacts.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
