Latitudes of Change follows an international crew on a maritime expedition of more than 12,000 km aboard the sailboat Atlas.
Brought together by a shared mission, the crew sails to the threatened ecosystems of the Arctic seas to collect scientific data on marine life, with a focus on whales, plankton and microplastics. Combining citizen science, exploration and personal challenge, the film documents both the research and the human experience of those carrying it out. Shot on location in the Arctic, it delivers visually spectacular cinematography of the polar seas, their wildlife and the voyage itself.
In the sun-scorched heart of Northern Queensland, the lure of overnight wealth meets a deadly reality. As four prospectors push their luck in Australia’s most hostile terrain, they face a brutal trifecta: punishing weather, venomous snakes, and the crushing isolation of the bush.

The Doctor’s Wife is a documentary that follows retired New Zealand pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. Alan Kerr and his wife, Hazel, during their 20-year humanitarian commitment in Palestine.
After retiring from a distinguished career as a cardiac surgeon in New Zealand, Dr Alan Kerr led a Kiwi team to Gaza and the West Bank to operate on children with heart disease. What started as a two week visit became an enduring 20 year commitment to Palestine, involving 40 medical missions to Gaza and the West bank and hundreds of operations.
Dr Kerr recognised the need for, and was instrumental in the establishment of, an independent Palestinian cardiac unit. He trained the first Palestinian paediatric cardiac surgeon and has been recognised as the ‘Father of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery’ in Palestine. However, he couldn’t have achieved this on his own. His wife, Hazel Kerr, travelled with him – bringing a different kind of healing to the people she met in Palestine.
Cuba’s ambitious plan to unify its currency has instead unleashed runaway inflation, crippling shortages and a thriving black market, leaving ordinary Cubans to pay the price. With the economy in freefall and the Party’s credibility eroding in the age of social media, Cuba’s socialist system faces the gravest crisis in its history. When thousands took to the streets in 2021 demanding change, the government responded with mass arrests and decade-long prison sentences. Through the voices of historians, musicians and those who dared to protest, Ulkolinja asks the question Cuba can no longer avoid: how much longer can the revolution survive?

Best-selling author and historian Heather Dune Macadam has adapted her acclaimed book 999 into a powerful documentary that sheds light on a wrenching true story. In March 1942, nearly 1,000 young Slovak Jewish women, mostly teenagers, told by their government that they were embarking on a volunteer work assignment, were instead illegally deported to Auschwitz on what was the first Jewish transport to the Nazi death camp.
Rather than strictly focus on the suffering and death experienced by most of the girls, Macadam tells stories of a small group who survived against all odds, even under unimaginable conditions that lasted more than three grueling years. A film of deep research and vivid detail, 999 THE FORGOTTEN GIRLS ensures that these women will no longer be a historical footnote.

Deep within the nervous system lies a family of molecules with the power to protect, repair, and regenerate the brain, and the nerve growth factor (NGF) may hold the key to some of medicine’s most urgent unsolved problems. First identified through the Nobel Prize-winning work of Rita Levi-Montalcini and Stanley Cohen, NGF and its neurotrophin family are now at the centre of a global scientific push to find treatments for Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and traumatic brain injury, conditions affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide for which no cure yet exists. The Brain Keepers takes viewers inside the laboratories and minds of the researchers driving this frontier, exploring how neurotrophin science is reshaping our understanding of neurodegeneration, what breakthroughs are within reach, and what still stands in the way. A field born from one extraordinary discovery is now on the threshold of changing medicine forever.
