My Penguin Friend
Among tales of remarkable human - animal friendships few true stories have been as mysterious, or as profoundly touching, as that of the little Magellanic penguin who crossed the vast ocean, again and again, of his own accord, to visit the fisherman who rescued him from peril. Now this “Penguin out of Water” tale comes to theaters as an emotional and poignant family adventure, a journey of friendship, courage, compassion, and the power of love to reach across even the greatest emotional and oceanic distances. Shot amid the breathtaking tropical coasts of Brazil and vibrant penguin colonies of Patagonia, The Penguin & The Fisherman breaks the mold by featuring live penguins in performance alongside a global castled by international screen legend Jean Reno and Oscar - nominated Adriana Barraza.

One life
The true story of Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, it's 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn't able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It's not until a live BBC television show, 'That's Life', surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children - now adults - that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.
