HISTORY 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF WORLD WAR II IN 2019 THE NAZI-SOVIET PACT: THE FIASCO OF THE EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY BY CÉDRIC TOURBE The pact concluded in August 1939 between Hitler and Stalin is still nowadays a symbol of the duplicity and cynicism of the Soviet dictator. However, the true story of this pact, starting point of World War II, is way more ambiguous than it seems.

PIERRE RICHARD: THE QUIET ONE BY GRÉGORY MONRO Who is Pierre Richard? Is he, as is believed by some, the veritable double of François Perrin, a cult character he invented and for whom he often successfully donned the costume and assumed the blunders? Can he simply be reduced to the unlucky hero of La Chèvre (Knock on Wood) or to the Grand Blond (The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe)? Focusing on Pierre Richard the author, the film draws the portrait of a discrete poet whose complexity, artistic desires and commitments have disappeared behind the immensity of his success.

SONS OF HONOR BY SOPHIA LUVARÀ In the most violent region of Italy - Calabria - the "Ndrangheta" mafia rules. One of the few who dares to stand up against the mafia is the President of the juvenile court, Roberto Di Bella. He took a drastic step by starting a re-education programme titled "Free to Choose". The programme separates teenage boys from their mafia families to break a generational cycle of criminality. The goal is straightforward: to show the teenager, who has been groomed for a life of violence and criminality, that there is another way of life. Sons of Honor is an epic coming-of-age drama that follows the crusade of Roberto Di Bella, a man living under protection 24/7. Through him and his team of the Juvenile Court, we will meet the sons of some of the most dangerous men in Italy. WITFILM - DOCLAB / 2019 / DELIVERY SUMMER 2019
