Doubletime is a high-energy feature length documentary about the dynamic and gravity defying sport of modern day jump roping and Double Dutch. The film follows two disparate teams -- one suburban white and one inner-city black-- as they train to compete against each other for the very first time. Recommended ages: 10+
Feature/Featured
ELITE SQUAD (TROPA DE ELITE) is an intense and astonishing look at Rio de Janeiro’s notorious favelas, the volatile slums on the edge of the city. The film is set in 1997 and presents an intimate look at the city’s vast and intricate web of corruption. Drug trafficking militias have virtual control within the favelas while the police run their criminal enterprises outside. The elite BOPE force (State Police Special Operations Battalion) combats drug trafficking –keeping order has its price though and their actions make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong and justice from revenge. (Winner Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award- 2008)
