When spoiled rich man Bob Merrick foolishly wrecks his speedboat, he is resuscitated by a team of rescuers who are then subsequently unable to save the life of a local hero, Dr. Wayne Phillips. Merrick becomes obsessed with Phillips? life, which was dedicated to helping people selflessly and in secret, and falls in love with the late doctor?s wife. His ham-handed attempts to fill in for the man whose life he feels responsible for, result in more tragedy, and so Merrick realizes he must take drastic action to make amends.

Migrant dreams

Sueños que migran
A young tsotsil man living undocumented in New York City seeks to maintain his identity, from his now-forced exile, while exploring the profound meaning of migrating, the value of origins, and community. Inspired by the tradition of direct cinema, the documentary takes us from New York to a Tsotsil Mayan village, introducing us to various dimensions of migration. See More

Mexico will no longer exist!

¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! ¡Ya México no existirá más!

A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult. This is an erratic film that invites us to reimagine the complex relationship we have with the constructed “mexicanidad.”
