Return to Gandhi Road is a New Zealand made story about an extraordinary Buddhist teacher and the efforts he made to rescue texts from Tibet during the Cultural Revolution of the Sixties. Project Power is a Netflix thriller about a drug that offers the taker five minutes of a super-power. Stars Jamie Foxx (Ray) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper). And Papi Chulo, a comedy-drama about the relationship between a stressed-out TV weatherman and a middle-aged Mexican odd-job man. Directed by Irishman John Butler (Handsome devil).
