Countdown to Murder

The story of trade unionist Guido Rossa, killed in 1979 by Riccardo Dura, a member of the Red Brigades.

Jean-Francois Abgrall, today the head of a private detective agency, was just a simple provincial gendarme back in 1989 when he was assigned to investigate a murder on a beach. Instead, his investigation put him on the trial of one of France's most terrifying serial killers, Francis Heaulme, who for eight years wandered the country committing some of the most brutal murders in the annals of modern crime. This is the true story of that manhunt, a tale of terror, suspense and determination.

Harry Domela lives well, when he poses as a prince.

The film tells the story of Kevin Natale, a Ventura native who was on that day an active, ordinary fourteen year-old boy preparing for a league basketball game when twenty-one year-old and deeply disturbed neighbor Bryan Adams burst through the front door, pistol in hand - obsessed with the idea of settling a largely imagined score - and opened fire. Though Kevin survived the bullet intended to take his life, he was left paralyzed. Directed by Brooks Institute graduate Jacob K. Cunningham, the feature documentary describes not only a tragic and transformational moment, but traces the aftermath of that moment and the ongoing transformation in a powerfully human story of courage and pathos and everyday humanity.
