Summary
  • Stand down soldier: Portrays the return from combat tours in the mideast of a female, African-American sergeant. It looks at the trauma faced by soldiers seeking to re-establish the life, loves and relationships they left and a Veterans Affairs system that fails them. Yet, it is the trauma inflicted by rape at the hands of a fellow combatant which makes this film unique and compelling.
  • Desirée: Set in Brooklyn, New York this Dutch film is based on a true story that appeared on a New York newspaper in 1980. Desirée lives in the past. A series of flashbacks expose us to her psychologically troubled childhood. Her present life revolves around three people: her employwer, Mrs. Resnick, Freddy her lover and Father Siego. Rejected by all because of her pregnancy, Desirée blames her child as the source of evil.
