Stander
In the early 1980's, a white police officer (Andres Stander, played by Thomas Jane) in Johannesburg, suffers a crisis of conscience due to his involvement in apartheid and becomes a notorious bank robber on the run. Then, from 1983 to 1984, the "Stander gang" (Stander, Alan Heyl & Patrick McCall) rob as many as four banks a day.

The film follows three young people over the course of the year in La Sierra, a neighborhood of Medellín, and shows their experiences with war. The strife in Colombia's civil war has been growing for forty years and has claimed more than death and love: the barrio's de facto mayor Edisón Flores, a 22-year-old leader of the Bloque Metro: Cielo Muñez, a teen mother widowed at the age of 15 and 19-year-old Jesús Martínez, a dutiful paramilitary soldier, who has adapted to life without the hand he lost to a grenade.
Evil is a Virus. An insidious killer is arrested in Berlin after a bloody shootout with the police. The man had slaughtered and then had sex with at least a dozen boys. While the authorities can prove this, there may be more victims that they are unaware of. A young upstanding policeman from a village outside of town is drawn into interrogations, but the killer’s sick mind-games begin to unhinge him and his worst nightmares seem to be coming true.
