Nope succeeds tremendously in dealing with higher concepts in an engaging and highly entertaining manner without sacrificing theme or personality.

A new pathogen, previously unknown to the academic community, begins claiming lives in a city in Manila, Philippines. To uncover the cause, Dr. Jeong, Fuad, and Ji-suk, a team of researchers, venture into the undeveloped regions of the Philippines. However, they are captured by the indigenous people and subjected to various ordeals. Things take a dramatic turn when Ji-suk is forced into a marriage ceremony with the son of the tribal chief.

Alongside A Drowning Man, I Signed The Petition, 3 Logical Exits, and A World Not Ours, A Man Returned continues to paint a realistic portrait of the Refugee Crisis that eschews the Western gaze and stereotype.

Unlike other documentaries about Princess Diana, Perkins’ film, 'The Princess', is an entire documentary consisting of media coverage and public opinion, rather than a typical series of people interviewed with firsthand experience of the Princess. 'The Princess' beautifully depicts how we perceive Diana as a media figure rather than a real person, specifically creating her persona as a fairytale figure turned saint and icon.
