Our Voice, Our Heart
The sun-drenched landscapes of the Northern Territory form the backdrop for a politically neutral, storytelling approach aimed at fostering learning and connection between Indigenous Australian communities and urban Australians. Our documentary chronicles the transformative journey of two First Nations men, Jaxon De Santis and Justin Grant, as they grapple with their uncertainty about the impending Voice to Parliament referendum.
Motivated by the glaring knowledge gap between urban dwellers and remote Indigenous communities, Jaxon and Justin embark on a journey to understand the perspectives of those who will be most affected by the referendum. Their quest is not only to find their own voices but also to empower others to do the same.
It is an open invitation to embark on a shared journey of understanding, guided by the wisdom and experiences of diverse First Nations communities across the NT.

Jews and Judaism in Amazonia
An Israeli Anthropologist traveling throughout Amazonia to meet the descendants of the Moroccan Jews who immigrated to this region since 1810. Together they are sharing their unique story of resilience and persistence in this special part of the world, as well as their daily lives and their deep feelings towards their Jewish origins, which sometimes still exist only in their hearts.
So now, 210 years after the beginning of the immigration of Jews from Morocco to the Amazon region, where are they today and what happened to their descendants during all these years?
I traveled far away to the amazing Amazon region, first in 2010 and the second time in 2021, hoping to find answers to these questions. Now, 13 years after my first journey, this film is completed.
Fortunato Chocron, Samuel Pereira, Meri Chamani, Cloude Chamani, Maria Botbol, Maria Sarrafi, Ronyo De Mercede Gama, Julia Cohen Niva Danieli Leite Fima, Tzafira Ohana and Anne Benchimol, together with many others whom I encountered in my journeys are sharing the different histories and stories of these communities and individuals.
Their Jewish story is embedded in the unique scenery of the Amazon River and forests, intertwined with the local cultures that exist in this area while keeping their specific identity and traditions.
Our dialogues and encounters were amazing experiences and lessons that I experienced and that I wish to share with the rest of the world.
The soundtrack of the film is made up of 6 songs of the wonderful Israeli-Moroccan-Brazilian singer Lala Tamar, mainly in Hakitia (the special Jewish language that was spoken in Spanish Morocco and still kept in Amazonia) bringing Morocco’s original Judaism sounds to the story, which is flowing along the rivers and forests.
The film is also a site to remember those who are no longer with us and to honor their memory and their contribution to the Jewish life in Amazonia, which they generously shared throughout this film.

"Rising Wings" is more than just a documentary about hunting; it's a journey through America's rich history, focusing on our evolving relationship with waterfowl.

Benjamin Feliksdal, The Life Story of a Dutch Dance Master
The inspiring journey of Benjamin Feliksdal began in a humble yet determined manner. At the tender age of just six, he discovered his calling in the world of dance. His talent quickly caught the attention of none other than Sonja Gaskell, an iconic figure in the Dutch dance scene. Under her tutelage, Benjamin blossomed into a talented dancer with a passion for expression and movement.
At the pinnacle of his career, Benjamin shone as a soloist at the National Ballet during 1960-1971, sharing the stage with legends like Rudolf Nureyev. His performances were acclaimed, and his elegance and virtuosity made him one of the most admired dancers of his time.
However, following a questionable dismissal, Benjamin chose to chart his own path. He ventured across the Atlantic to New York, where he began anew as a humble apprentice. In the vibrant dance scene of the Big Apple, he embraced new styles and techniques. He took classes at the most prestigious dance schools and expanded his repertoire to encompass modern dance and jazz dance, which held a special place in his heart.
Back in the Netherlands, Benjamin cherished the knowledge he had gained and founded "Benjamin's Modern Jazz Dance Center." His dance school became a breeding ground for talented artists, and many of his students went on to become famous performers in their own right.
At the age of 83, Benjamin Feliksdal remains a radiant exemplar of dedication to the art of dance. He has not only molded bodies but also inspired hearts. This documentary pays tribute to Benjamin's lifelong commitment to the world of dance, serving as a testament to his impact and celebrating a life that danced to the rhythm of music, touching the hearts of many.

First We Bombed New Mexico
'First We Bombed New Mexico" follows the intimate journey of indomitable Hispanic cancer survivor Tina Cordova who has catalyzed a movement seeking justice for the forgotten residents of southern New Mexico – mostly Hispanic and Native – who suffer multigenerational cancers they tie to the secret poisoning of their land by the Trinity Bomb.
This is the story that "Oppenheimer" doesn’t tell. It is a s-hero’s journey.
When Tina was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 18 years ago, the doctor asked when she was exposed to radiation. Tina knew the answer. She knew that multigenerational cancers afflicting her town of Tularosa, and the cancer that killed her father – were tied to radiated fallout that covered her town following Trinity's secret explosion.
Tina discovers that Manhattan Project physicians had urged General Groves to evacuate residents before the blast to save them from catastrophic levels of radiation. But secrecy and concerns about litigation trumped concern for citizen health.
Tina also discovers that baby deaths in New Mexico spiked directly after the blast. “New Mexico babies were the first victims of Trinity”. This also was covered up.
Downwinder victims of the later Nevada Cold War nuclear tests, however, have received reparations from Congress since 1990.
This becomes Tina’s goal – to have Congress extend RECA (Radiation Exposure Compensation Act) legislation so New Mexicans who lost family members to cancers associated with Trinity also receive compensation.
Tina travels to Laguna Pueblo where the world’s largest open pit uranium mine scars its earth. Drone shots witness the still open pit, adjacent to the town of Paguate where former mining families are sick and dying. These families are also unsuccessful in getting the government‘s attention. Tina forms a coalition, saying “If we speak with one voice, it will be harder for Congress to turn its back on us”.
Finally, in 2018, Tina and her close band of downwinder mothers are invited to Washington to tell their story. Tina is certain that once Congress hears their story, it will help them. In marbled rooms on Capitol Hill, verité filming shows famous legislators enthusiastically applauding the women. However, Tina and the mothers are sorely disappointed after they return to New Mexico and discover no concessions or help was approved.
Woven into our film are insights by renowned nuclear experts, including MIT professor and author Kate Brown. Brown says efforts by the Downwinders to get justice from the government is like “the fox guarding the henhouse”.
Prof. Josh Wheeler author of "Acid West" and a 5th-generation New Mexican, observes that New Mexico is the only state in the United States with a cradle-to-grave nuclear industry – where the uranium for the weapons was mined, the nuclear weapons are built and the nuclear waste is stored. Professor Myrriah Gomez uses the term “nuclear colonialism” to describe the relationship between local residents and the powerful and rich nuclear industry in New Mexico.
This beautiful and compelling documentary celebrates resilient people in a gorgeous and remote part of our country that the government falsely claimed was ‘uninhabited’.
The clock is ticking, the Downwinders only have until June 2024 to get Congress to extend RECA. This is a historic, nail-biting moment. Largely thanks to "Oppenheimer" and sudden interest in Trinity, the Senate recently voted to extend RECA, something Tina had been trying unsuccessfully to accomplish for 18 years. Now the pressure is on the House to do the same.
"First We Bombed New Mexico" finally exposes the truth about our nuclear origin story. Once screened, the film will be used in an impact campaign to gain public support to extend RECA in the House to achieve compensation for our ignored Native and Hispanic population that bore the cost of of nuclear legacy.
Since "Oppenheimer", Tina has become a media star. Everyone wants to hear from her. However, they only get sound bites. Six years ago, Tina asked me to make this documentary to amplify her voice. Tina and the Downwinders have opened their doors to us. We are honored to have a powerful and important film that will move viewers, enrage them, engage them, inspire them, and hopefully impact change.
In an era when Putin and Trump glibly consider ‘limited’ nuclear strikes. We see that fallout doesn’t stop at borders. We are all downwinders.
I have included a letter of support from NM Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.

‘Bell Tolls’ is a ten-minute drama exploring grief.
Marcus is sitting in his favourite café drawing in his sketchbook. He pauses to look outside the window and sees The Monster across the street. The Monster is not your stereotypical archetype, as this creature is colourful and fluffy. Marcus curiously looks around to check if only he can see The Monster. But when he looks back, The Monster is gone.
The story continues with back-and-forth conversations between Marcus and Will, his therapist, going into more depth on why The Monster appears and where it originated.
The piece finishes with Marcus coming to terms with The Monster and learning that, even though they are connected, it does not define or limit him on where his life goes.
Five Tool Player
Daniele, a rebellious and intolerant fourteen year old from Castel Volturno, is about to lose his grandmother who lives 40 km away, in Bagnoli in the Campi Flegrei. He and his best friend Lucio do crack. It's their first time. To fulfill the woman's last will, to eat a mozzarella made by her son, or rather the father of Daniele, a buffalo breeder, the boy embarks on a journey first on a moped and then on foot in the company of his crush, Martina.
In the grip of drugs and social exclusion, the clan of drug dealers, of which he becomes a courier, unexpected encounters are opposed, for better or for worse, with uncommon people and paranormal experiences that emerge persistently, triggering memories of a happy age soon forgotten .
When he asks the boss 'O Biondo and his lieutenant El Napolitano for help and money, he still doesn't know that he has slipped right into the wolf's den. They impose a package of crack doses to deliver and no money to get by with the problems that arise along the way. While the rivalry between the Casal Di Principe gang and the group of Nigerians, who are trying to take control of the drug dealing square, culminates in an open massacre between hundreds of young people addicted to getting high, O'biondo, in agreement with the drug trafficker the Cuban, ambushes the head of the Nigerians in which Daniele is also involved. The Cuban carries an imposing load and his fire group, of which Daniele and Martina will experience all the ferocity.
The journey through extreme events thus becomes a path of self-discovery and at the same time an escape route. Above everything hovers the mysterious presence of a woman who appears in different clothes and ages and who seems to accompany him on his journey towards freedom.

Summary:
"Battle of Bridges" is a gripping documentary film that chronicles a pivotal engagement during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The battle took place near the city of Al Jahra and involved Iraqi forces and sectors of the Kuwaiti army. The Iraqi forces, aiming to enter the Kuwaiti capital, crossed the Kuwaiti border through various axes, with International Highway No. 80 being the most significant.
To counter this invasion, the General Staff Command of the Kuwaiti Army assigned the 35th Armored Brigade, comprising the esteemed Hammurabi Armored Division (Republican Guard), with the crucial task of obstructing the advancing Iraqi forces. Despite facing challenges in fully mobilizing their troops, the 35th Armored Brigade valiantly engaged the Iraqi army convoys with the available resources. During the intense clash, the Iraqi forces received reinforcements from the Medina Armored Division (Republican Guard) and launched an assault on the rear front of the Kuwaiti 35th Brigade.
As ammunition supplies dwindled, the number of Iraqi forces increased, and the brigade found itself encircled, they made the strategic decision to withdraw to Saudi Arabian territory as nightfall approached. Following their entry into Saudi soil, the brigade regrouped, underwent training, and prepared themselves for the imminent liberation war to free Kuwait.
