The Polar Passage poster
NR

An expedition to the Northwest Passage provides a glimpse into the age of exploration, and for Mark Synnott, a chance to celebrate the uniquely human spirit of adventure. But understanding the ice takes the kind of knowledge gained by the Inuit community of Giog Haven over thousands of years of nomadic movement. With the help of Inuit guide, Jacob Keanik, the crew sets sail, navigating around ice and storms, through some of the harshest landscapes on Earth.

Kifaru poster
9.0

Journeying beyond the global headlines around 'Sudan,' the last male northern white rhino in existence, and explore the painful emptiness of extinction through the eyes of Sudan's three primary caregivers. Teetering on borrowed time and with his health in decline, Sudan's looming death and the uncertainty of employment that it will bring hangs over the heads of our three dynamic characters. Their only hope to save the species that they love - and perhaps their livelihood - rests fully in the success of a last resort IVF experiment.

Between the Rains poster
6.0

Between the Rains is a coming-of-age story of Kolei, a shepherd boy whose name translates to “living amongst the goats.” Unfolding over the course of a prolonged drought, viewers are pressed deeper into Kolei’s inner conflict as he questions not only his own identity as a warrior — a path that was chosen for him —but also the erosion of the culture that has shaped every aspect of his life. For Kolei, becoming a warrior not only shapes masculinity and personal identity, but it is also the very foundation on which this community and society root their lives. It is a sacred, guiding pillar.
