Gutsy TENSE
& Challenging

Seen collectively, these films pose the challenge: just how far would you go? Would you electrocute someone to win a game show (The Game of Death)? Would you steal just for the adrenalin rush (The Robber)? How far would you go to defend your property (White Material and Mugabe and the White African)? How do you maintain sanity fighting an unknown enemy (Restrepo and Lebanon) or your imagination (Hadewijch)? Or caring for your teenage son (Shirley Adams)? If you're queer, do you shout it out in the hostile worlds of I Killed My Mother, To Die Like a Man and Brotherhood? And will the final shove come from your family (Winter's Bone), your friends (Chicks) or an intruder (Hesher)?
