Life on Earth would not be possible without rain. Although water covers most of the earth, 97% of it is sea water. Rain supports life on land by supplying salt-free water that we can drink. Rain, or the lack of it has shaped and destroyed civilisations since antiquity, and now climate change is changing the patterns of rainfall with deadly effect.

Dylan Williams’ compelling new documentary follows a handful of surgeons who carry the healthcare needs of an entire nation on their shoulders. At the center is Faustin Ntirenganya, one of only two reconstructive plastic surgeons in Rwanda, responsible for patients from across the country—fourteen million people. His work involves repairing bomb-damaged faces, burn injuries, and congenital deformities, but also striving to build a sustainable system where more surgeons can take over. The goal is ambitious: to train thirty new surgeons by 2030. An intimate and unsentimental portrait of medicine as practical, political, and moral work.

When all other countries went into lockdown, the Swedish politicians and experts decided that Sweden would remain a more open society. The Swedish model for fighting Covid-19 in recent years has been discussed across the entire world, and its main figures have been the object of both hate campaigns and personality cults. Documentary filmmaker Viktor Nordenskiöld’s camera has followed the front figures of the crisis at conferences and everyday places. The result is a highly interested insight into the processes that have laid at the foundation of the controversial Swedish strategy, and how the medial and political pressure affected the decision-makers.

Twelve years ago Anya and Zhenya had a daughter, Nadya. They were very young, and their life soon became a problem. Zhenya ended up in jail, and Anya and Nadya ended up living with Zhenyas family. During the twelve years that have passed, Anya has done quite a lot of changes in her own and Nadya’s life, some of them involving Zhenya. The first time Zhenya went to jail – for beating Anya – he didn’t have to stay that long. But the second time he was sentenced to four years, for rape. During most of the twelve years Anya has worked with Zhenyas mother in their shoemaker’s workshop. Zhenyas father, a retired policeman, has come and gone in the shop, taken care of his granddaughter, but also had a relationship with Anya. When Sasha, Zhenya’s father, beats Anya and ends up in prison, Anya finally leaves Zhenyas family.
