When You’re Grown Up, Dear Adam
Adam receives a flashlight with special powers: every liar it shines on flies into the air. Production was cancelled in 1965/66 due to the film's political content. Only in 1989/90 could the director reconstruct the film, where missing sounds and images are replaced with script inserts.
Enough Praying
Many socially-concerned priests in Catholic Latin America have at some time left their parish churches to go and work in the fields and factories of the poor. Such priests, usually adherents of "liberation theology," are called "worker-priests." This Chilean film tells the story of how one man became a "worker-priest" and won the trust of the poor.
God's Soldier
A hard-as-nails nun must take on a rogue agent to protect a child in her care who harbours a special gift. When she is left for dead and her chapel is destroyed, she is given a second chance at life, fighting back in a brutal pursuit for revenge, doing everything in her power to save the chosen girl from a fate worse than death.
