Some have power, others have bravery.

Drama

Set in the blooming 1960s, the film centres on two young brothers who are instantly robbed of their lives when they are placed in a boy's home forgotten by time. Armed only with a vivid imagination and a fickle hope, the boys engage in the frightening battle against Headmaster Heck and his lethal tyranny. The film is based on actual events.

VIBE

A chillingly stark depiction of institutional cruelty. It's a harrowing look at childhood innocence tested by oppressive rules and abuse, yet a flicker of hope persists through the brothers' bond.
