Nguyen was reported for a car theft and ended up being shot nine times by police officer Chen Chung-wen. Nguyen bled to death on the way to the hospital. The public supported Chen’s use of firearms against the runaway migrant who resisted arrest. Were the nine shots the only cause of Nguyen’s death? When the perpetrator isn’t necessarily the true perpetrator, is the imperfect victim the one to blame?

Voices of the Battle of Britain
Based on the book of the same title by best-selling author Henry Buckton, this film is enhanced by a fascinating series of interviews with a wide variety of people who played a vital role in Britain’s ‘finest hour’. Included are the captivating accounts of six fighter pilots who risked their lives day after day to combat the Luftwaffe, which was at that time greatly more experienced in aerial warfare. Their memories are enhanced by the recollections of a gunner, two members of the 400,000-strong ground crew who kept as many aircraft flying as possible, a barrage balloon operator and men who helped to build Spitfires.

The Hunt for Voices

Waders, a mosquito net, sound recording equipment — and now his hunt begins. He shares his “loot” online, including on music streaming. These recordings add to the base of scientific knowledge about birds and their migration routes, helping ecologists to study and protect nature, and also enable people anywhere in the world to hear the voice of Pavel’s native land.

Voices from the Grave
The story of the Northern Ireland Troubles through the unflinching testimony of two men who played key roles on opposite sides of that bloody conflict. Nearly ten years ago the two paramilitary leaders told their stories on condition that they could never be revealed while they were still alive. The stories told by the Irish Republican Army’s Brendan Hughes and Ulster Volunteer Force’s David Ervine tell us of the motivations of the participants, the planning of campaigns of violence, the misery of a hunger strike, the tracking and killing of informers and the duplicity that ended a conflict that had lasted too long. It is also a narrative of the fate of combatants when their wars are over.
