Robin’s Wish
On August 11, 2014, we lost an American hero to suicide. People were left shocked and baffled by the sudden death of comedy supernova Robin Williams. How could someone who was so bright and effervescent on screen turn off so suddenly? The documentary Robin’s Wish answers all those looming questions and more by finally telling the powerful and true story of Robin Williams’ final days and his fight against the deadly neurodegenerative disorder, Lewy Body Dementia. For the first time in gripping journalistic detail, learn the story behind the man and the jokes he made. Heartbreakingly real, Robin’s Wish casts an entirely new light on the tragedy and celebrates the beauty and power that made Robin Williams who he was.
The Owners
Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) stars in The Owners, a horror thriller film based on the graphic novel ‘Une nuit de pleine lune.’ It centers on a group of thieving friends who think they have found the ultimate score in an empty house with a safe full of cash. But when the elderly couple who owns the home come back early, the tables are suddenly turned and a horrific cat-and-mouse game begins. Now the criminals are the victims as they are left to fight to save themselves from a nightmare unimaginable before. Remember kids, robbing is bad and the The Owners will show you why!
