Plot: EVERYBODY HAS A PLAN tells the story of Agustin (Mortensen), a man desperate to abandon what he gradually has come to feel is an unfulfilling existence after years of living in Buenos Aires. Following the death of his identical twin brother Pedro, Agustin sets out to begin his life anew by assuming Pedro’s identity and returning to the mysterious Tigre Delta region where the brothers had spent their childhood. Soon after his homecoming, however, Agustin finds himself unwittingly embroiled in the deadly criminal underworld that his brother had been part of. The film is set against the peculiar landscape of the Tigre Delta, a maze of islands and rivers that once served as a recreational playground for the Buenos Aires elite, where one can still find French- and English-style mansions flanking the Delta’s waterways as reminders of its opulent past. But there are darker, more secluded corners deep within the wetlands where unwritten rules of conduct and codes of silence are enforced by those locals living outside the law. It is in these dangerous backwaters, which have always provided refuge for Argentina’s outcasts and criminals, that Agustin faces a desperate fight for survival as he tries to reinvent himself and leave the past behind.

Plot: Mumbai is known as the commercial capital of India and one if it’s most bustling cities. A sprawling metropolis that is home to over 20 million people, it is also known as a resilient city. The irony is that over the past century, the city has not seen as much natural adversity as it has witnessed scores of man driven assaults and terrorist attacks.
The audacious terrorist attacks which happened in Mumbai on Nov 28th, 2008, jolted the city’s spirit like never before.
It wasn’t a mere terror attack, it was akin to war. Just 10 men, affiliated to a Pakistan based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba, walked into Mumbai and fanned out to several iconic locations in the city. Holding up each location in teams of two, the ten terrorists attacked and held siege at Chhatrapati Shivaji Bus Terminus, Leopold Café, Taj and Oberoi hotels, Cama hospital and Nariman house.
The terrorists, motivated and programmed to mercilessly kill anyone in their line of fire, went about virtually unconfronted because the local police were not equipped enough to match their sophisticated arms and ammunitions. The terrorists killing spree ended up taking the lives of 166 people and wounded at least 238 more.
“The Attacks of 26/11†is a cinematic representation of the events that unfolded on that fateful day, resulting in one of the worst terrorist attacks ever in the history of India.

Plot: For two years Ashley Colton, a rough, ragged beauty in her mid-twenties, has walked
a tightrope, trying to prove that she is fit to be a mother and regain custody of her son.
She has survived on a series of minimum wage jobs and endured the probing scrutiny
of home visits from Social Services. Cynical and embittered, she is convinced her son
was taken because she is poor, and she carries a class rage that is difficult to control.
But while Ashley sees herself as a victim, we see a woman who has lost her child
because she is not ready to be a mother.
A surprise visit from her father, a truck driver living in Mexico, brings Ashley back
into a turbulent and unresolved relationship. On a trip to Nuevo Laredo, she discovers
that her father is smuggling immigrants across the border. Suddenly, in the vast,
unforgiving landscape of south Texas, Ashley glimpses a solution to her problems
and is lured by the prospect of easy money into the role of a coyote. Her improvised
plan quickly goes awry, and Ashley finds herself stranded with a young girl whose

the girl, she begins a journey in search of the girl’s missing mother.
Together with the girl, Ashley travels through the borderlands of Nuevo Laredo and
along the banks of the Rio Grande, retracing the steps of the immigrant journey.
When she finally learns that the girl’s mother drowned, Ashley decides to bring the
girl back to her village in southern Mexico. Along the way, she discovers something
