His penance is a 90-day sentence to coach Los Amigos, a very special basketball team made up of intellectually disabled men. To Marco’s surprise, he discovers that this “sub normal” team may have what it takes to make it to the national championships.

When Dian was six years old, she heard a deep rumble and turned to see a tsunami of mud barreling towards her village. Her neighbors ran for their lives. Sixteen villages, including Dian’s, were plunged under 60 feet of mud. A decade later, nearly 60,000 people have been displaced from what was once a thriving industrial and residential area in East Java, Indonesia. The cause? Lapindo, a multinational company drilling for natural gas in 2006, struck an underground pocket of mud and unleashed a violent flow of hot sludge from the earth’s depths.
Despite initial assurances to do so, Lapindo has not provided promised reparations to the victims. Dian is determined to rise out of the muddy life. She and her mother fight against the corporation accused of one of the largest man-made environmental disasters in recent history. The film bears witness to Dian’s transformation into a politically active teenager as she questions the role of corporate power and money in the institution of democracy itself.

The Bird Catcher is a suspenseful, coming of age story set against the backdrop of violence and prejudice. It’s inspired by the little known actual stories of Norwegian Jews during World War 2 that have never been told. This film uncovers a hidden slice of history that grips at the heart and inspires us all at the deepest level – it’s a profound fable of identity and loss, of forced migration and the cost of war.
