Documentary in the traditions of Michael Apted's 7 Up, following the lives of a group of children in South Africa and offering an insight into life in a country that has gone through momentous change. In 1992, when they turned seven, Nelson Mandela had only been out of prison for two years. By the time they were 14, he had become their president and the regime of apartheid had been consigned to history.

Based off the book of the same name, ‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post’ (2018) follows teenager Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) after she is caught being intimate with another girl and then sent away to a gay conversion camp.
A young girl named Hailey Mays sings a country song that is named after the film's title.

'The Patient' is bound by four walls and a mediocre ending that leaves you wanting more.
The re-living of this historic trial through this film is relevant to current politics and disturbingly enjoyable to watch due to the excellent performances from the ensemble cast. If you like a juicy courtroom drama, this film will definitely scratch that itch in a really chilling manner.
At least we got the original cast back, right? Not even that saves it. None of them could bring a sliver of hope to this special. Rather, they bring dread as we witness the light leaving from their eyes.
