Turkish Passport tells the story of diplomats posted to Turkish embassies and consulates in several European countries, who saved numerous Jews during the Second World War. Whether they pulled them out of Nazi concentration camps or took them off the trains that were taking them to the camps, the diplomats, in the end, ensured that the Jews who were Turkish citizens could return to Turkey and thus be saved. Based on the testimonies of witnesses who traveled to Istanbul to find safety, Turkish Passport also uses written historical documents and archive footage to tell this story of rescue and bring to light the events of the time. The diplomats saved not only the lives of Turkish Jews, but also rescued foreign Jews condemned to a certain death by giving them Turkish passports. In this dark period of history, their actions lit the candle of hope and allowed these people to travel to Turkey, where they found light. Through interviews conducted with surviving Jews who had boarded the trains traveling from France to Turkey, and talks with the diplomats and their families who saved their lives, the film demonstrates that "as long as good people are ready to act, evil cannot overcome".

Genres Drama, Historical
The film plot synthesises two different stories set in a post-Operation-Blue-Star Punjab in the ‘80s. Fear and paranoia pervaded the atmosphere as general public was caught between excesses of both Khalistani terrorists and the security forces fighting them. The first story is about a militant diktat in Punjab that prohibited family-owned dogs from barking and the other is about two Hindu friends travelling to Amritsar in a nearly empty train. The plot makes the two stories into one by making one of the friends travelling in the train recounting the first story.
Girlfriend in a Coma (2012)
, 1h38Origin United-kingdom
Genres Documentary, Historical
Actors Livia Giuggioli, Nanni Moretti, Toni Servillo, Marcello Mastroianni, Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren
The documentary, using the eyes of an English outsider directed by a passionate, but exiled, Italian insider, exposes the dire situation of Italian politics and the process of economic and social decline the country has suffered during the last two decades, treating the decline as a warning of what might happen elsewhere in the West. The decline has occurred amid a collapse of moral values and the victory of "Mala Italia" over "Buona Italia". Critical of Silvio Berlusconi, the former Prime Minister, for some of the actions his government undertook or failed to undertake, and for his inappropriate use of his media companies to influence the Italian electorate, the documentary also does not spare criticism of the Left.
