A Very British Sex Scandal: The Love Child and the Secretary

Divorce Mauritania Style

In Mauritania, it's thought that half of the women get divorced at least once. In some predominantly Muslim countries divorce is discouraged and can be challenging for women to initiate. However, in this West African country steeped in Islamic heritage, local tribal traditions have normalised the practice of women ditching their husbands. Reporter Ayshah Tull meets the women who are beating any suggestion of stigma in the wake of divorce by throwing lavish parties to celebrate their new single status.

Bowling for Columbine

The film explores what Moore suggests are the causes for the Columbine High School massacre and other acts of violence with guns. Moore focuses on the background and environment in which the massacre took place, and some common public opinions and assumptions about related issues. The film looks into the nature of violence in the United States, focusing on guns as a symbol of both American freedom and its self-destruction.
In Moore's discussions with various people, including South Park co-creator Matt Stone, the National Rifle Association's then-president Charlton Heston, and musician Marilyn Manson, he seeks to explain why the Columbine massacre occurred and why the United States has higher rates of violent crimes (especially crimes involving guns) than other developed nations.

Where You're Meant to be

Scottish cult-pop raconteur Aidan Moffat, frontman of indie band Arab Strap - and best known for his no-holds-barred lyrics about sex, drugs and male anxiety - sets out to explore his country's past by rewriting and touring its oldest songs.
It's meant to be a tour that allows Moffat to explore the roots of his country. It's meant to be a trip that celebrates Scotland's communities and lore. But then he meets Sheila Stewart - a 79-year-old force of nature and travelling balladeer whose life, and unexpected death, upturns Moffat's musical assumptions. He believes these old songs are ripe for updating against a modern urban backdrop. She does not. With Sheila's criticism ringing in his ears, the bold Moffat embarks on a trip around Scotland's remote parts that proves to be as uncanny as the Scottish weather. He finds himself caught up in a feud between two monster hunters at Loch Ness, singing to a dismissive Hebridean farmer in his kitchen, and holding court with a mob of ancient warriors in a Highland graveyard.
When Moffat's tour comes full circle, back to his hometown of Glasgow, he ends up in the legendary Barrowland Ballroom: the best loved rock stage in the world, and the setting for an unlikely final showdown, in a funny film about music and death.
