She eventually marries a fundamentalist contemporary Christian musician and has several children and lives the seemingly happy life. But there's more to Corrine than meets the eye, for she has past-life experiences and she's trying to live in the boxes of lower-consciousness people who want to keep ...

This documentary by Estela Bravo will give you a true perspective of Fidel Castro like you've never seen before—the people who loved him, the countries he helped, the dignitaries he met, and the unbelievable demonization he received by the United States up until this very day. At one point, Castro sent 36,000 Cuban troops to Angola to help in their revolution. He never claimed to be a Communist (he believes in God) but did receive financial aid from Soviet Russia. He did practice ...

Three Muslim brothers born in Algeria grow up suffering at the hands of the French by having their land taken from them, their father murdered, and their mother having to ...

Liya Kebede plays real-life model Waris Dirie, a Somalian who was circumcised at 3 years old in a very painful sewing up of the skin, where her vagina is. Often these children die from germs or when they become adults have no sexual enjoyment, because the circumcision destroyed their sexual pleasure sensors. They are expected by their mother and tribe to remain sewn up until they are married, but in this case (and in many others) women who leave their village have a tremendous sense of guilt...

Bravo director & writer Terrence Malick and Brad Pitt for helping to produce it financially and Sean Penn!

Brad ...
