Dead To Rights

A stranger-than-fiction docuseries about Dalia Dippolito, a call girl from South Florida who famously (and mistakenly) hired an undercover cop to assassinate her husband. After the cops decide to stage the hit to secure a conviction for Dalia, it looked like a conviction was inevitable.

Nothing could have been further from the truth and it eventually took three trials and ten years to get a lasting conviction.

THE CRATE ESCAPE

The incredible true story of Brian Robson and his perilous journey halfway around the world in a tiny wooden crate. Marooned in Sydney, Australia in 1964 after emigrating under a special scheme that turned out to be a scam, Brian tried all possible legal means to return to his hometown of Cardiff, Wales. When these failed he was forced to explore less legitimate alternatives.

Fifty years later, now in his late 70s, Brian attempts to track down and reunite with the two long-lost friends that helped him all those years ago, sparking a social media sensation and global internet manhunt.

THE PICKUP GAME

A horrifying yet gripping piece of investigative journalism exposing the secrets of the scandal-filled yet thriving pickup industry, where would be Casanovas pay to be coached in the art of seduction.

The film dives headfirst into the underground subculture of the pickup industry where self-proclaimed internet gurus coach men the art of seduction. Boasting a 100% success rate, instructors embed in their students a questionable concoction of psychological trickery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and an alpha male mindset to achieve their objective.

From its glossy exterior where courses are packaged as self-improvement, to the dark underbelly of sexual assault, pyramid scheme marketing, and secret collusion, The Pickup Game pulls back the curtain to reveal a world that is not only fascinating but horrific in equal measure.

California High

When California introduced medical marijuana laws in 1996 it sparked a chain reaction that led to many other states passing similar laws. A small number even legalized marijuana for recreational use. With a full legalization vote due in 2016, California is now considered by many as the key battleground state in the marijuana debate. A debate that has divided America for over fifty years. From the concrete jungles of LA to the remote isolation of Northern California, “California High” takes you on a journey through the eyes of growers, cops, politicians and ordinary Californians to get up close and personal with the issues. It shows for the first time how truly complex the situation is. Away from the usual extremism surrounding marijuana it becomes clear that this is a story full of surprises and twists. For example, who would have thought that many people against legalization in California are those already growing it? California is about to make a decision. Whose side will you be on?
