In 1532, Francisco de Pizarro led fewer than two hundred men into the heart of the Inca Empire and brought a civilization of millions to its knees. What drove this man—from humble beginnings in Spain—to defy impossible odds and confront Atahualpa’s army of 30,000 warriors? Through striking reenactments and expert insight, the film explores how faith, greed, and unyielding ambition collided in one of history’s most shocking encounters, forever changing the fate of two worlds. Beyond the conquest, it delves into the man himself—visionary and tyrant, believer and betrayer—revealing how his thirst for glory became a symbol of both human courage and moral ruin. Set against the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes, this journey exposes the hidden cost of empire: the blood spilled, the cultures erased, and the myths that still echo through the ruins of Cuzco.

It is an intimate and disturbing portrait of a family unraveling in the age of constant connectivity.

Told with a balance of suspense and reflection, it confronts investigators with the alleged mastermind, weaving a story of ambition, betrayal, and the mystery of gems never recovered. Beyond the spectacular details of the heist, it examines the toll on jewelers, insurers, and investigators, while questioning how ingenuity, greed, and betrayal blur the lines between admiration and crime.
This archival-driven documentary delves into the early transformation of a young singer from Michigan into a global pop phenomenon between 1978 and 1992. Through rarely heard audio tapes and unseen footage, it reveals her vulnerabilities—her mother's untimely death, the losses of close friends, and the fierce ambition that fueled her rise.

Immersive and intimate, the film portrays a determined artist who became more than a pop star—she emerged as a cultural catalyst. Highlighting her reinventions, bold provocations, and personal losses, it reframes her ascent as not just fame, but identity forged.
An uplifting, boots-on-the-ground chronicle of ten first-time triathletes grinding toward Ironman 70.3 Swansea: dawn swims, wind-chewed bike rides, and long, lonely runs that turn strangers into a squad. Guided by local coaches and an irrepressible community spirit, they juggle work, family, injuries, and self-doubt while learning that endurance is as much about heart as it is about heart-rate. Shot with brisk intimacy and a clear love for its subjects, the film leans into small victories—clipless-pedal triumphs, cold-water courage—and the way a race can remake a life. By race day, the question isn’t who podiums—it’s how far determination, teammates, and a town’s backing can carry ordinary people beyond their limits.
