Heavy, Devastating Films
443These are not films to take lightly. Genocide, slavery, addiction, war, childhoods stolen: works that look unflinchingly at what people do to one another. You will not start another film straight afterwards; you will want to sit in silence a while. Titles are here not because they are sad but because the weight they carry is real. Most are masterfully made, none are easy. Watched in the right frame of mind, they do what cinema does best: hand you someone else's life to live for a while. If you are not ready, not today.
