The Divine Order is set in Switzerland in 1971 where, despite the worldwide social upheavals of the previous decade, women were still denied the right to vote. When unassuming and dutiful housewife Nora (Marie Leuenberger, winner of a Best Actress award at Tribeca) is forbidden by her husband to take a part-time job, her frustration leads to her becoming the poster child of her town’s suffragette movement. Her newfound celebrity brings humiliation, threats, and the potential end to her marriage, but, refusing to back down, she convinces the women in her village to go on strike...and makes a few startling discoveries about her own liberation. Uplifting and crowd-pleasing, this charming, captivating film is a time-capsule that could not be more timely...

‘Broken’ is a moving story about forgiveness, peace and ending the esca-lating cycle of hatred.
Inspired by the true story of a young Māori girl who was murdered in the mid 1800’s. She always carried the Gospel of Luke with her until the book was stolen by her murderer from a marauding tribe. Upon reading the book, the murderer was so filled with remorse that he sought forgiveness from the girl’s father. This restored the peace between the two warring tribes and ended a cycle of war. ‘Broken’, tells the modern day version of her story. Logan, an ex-gang leader, has left the gang life to raise his daughter, Tori. But when Tori is murdered by an opposing gang in town, Logan must choose between for-giveness or revenge. Cruz, Tori’s murderer, must also choose forgiveness in order to end the cycle of hatred and revenge which is escalating into an inevitable gang war.

Welcomed back into the family of his widowed sister-in-law (Ellen Page), Senan attempts to restart his life—but is society ready to forgive him and those like him? Or will fear and prejudice once again tear the world apart? Pulsing with provocative parallels to our troubled times, The Cured is a smart, scary, and hauntingly human tale of guilt and redemption.
