- Since 1998, a small country with vast oil wealth but an impoverished populace has followed a resolutely revolutionary path. Its leader defies the established order of things, leading his people into a fight to change the world. Heroes of the past provide his inspiration: not only revolutionaries like Simón Bolívar and Che Guevara, but Don Quixote, the legendary justice-seeker who tilted at windmills. The president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, provokes strong reactions from all sides. His close personal friendship with Fidel Castro and his virulent attacks on George W. Bush make him a figure both sympathetic and frightening. As the architect of a new Bolivarian revolution, Chávez not only wants to free the Venezuelan people, but help the world rid itself of North American imperialism. Is he a freedom fighter, or a dangerous madman? In the heat of revolutionary struggle, greatness and madness can be hard to tell apart. When idealism is the only guide, there is a constant risk of losing control. And threats come from every direction, even within. ¿¡ Revolución !? is a journey through the tortuous paths of revolution.
- It's the end of the evening on a rooftop bar. The only two people remaining are the waitress/bartender named Sylvia and a male patron, who is cleaning his revolver in front of her.

As the two tango with the revolver in Sylvia's possession, they speak about who will be the one to pull the trigger.

But as the man poses the rhetorical question of who would hire a woman to be a hit man, Sylvia provides him with an answer.

- -Telling the big story through a little one: that was the task Charles Gervais set for himself in "La part d'ombre", his documentary. Nelly-Thidia was born in Montreal (Canada). Her parents, Cambodian refugees, escaped genocide, and their daughter grew up wondering about the horrific legacy. As the first international trial opened in Cambodia to shed light on the atrocities committed between 1975 and 1979 by the Khmer Rouge under leader Pol Pot, when an estimated 25% of the country's population perished, Nelly-Thidia decided to visit her parents' homeland in order to face down her own demons and try to understand the malaise that still afflicts her family life. Through her journey, we are exposed to the horror of a people haunted by a murderous past, whose wounds are still raw. An unsettling, moving and sensitive film.
