Candy Shop (USA 2019, 02:10), Patrick Smith
There are 11,926 pharmaceutical drugs available worldwide. This video shows 2,863 of them. Pills and capsules form a cacophony of shapes, colours and sizes, which results in a satirical commentary on our culture.
EndFGM (Cyprus 2021, 02:15), Alexia Roider
Mutilation, the removal or damage of the external female genitalia for non-medical reasons, is most commonly used in girls and young women under the age of 18. Two hundred million girls and women alive today were mutilated in this way. FGM is not recommended by any religion and has no health benefits. On the contrary, the practice can cause a lifelong physical and mental trauma. The film features real interviews with survivors and activists who struggle to end this inhuman practice.
