Synopsis

Forgiveness Girl

A little girl with cerebral palsy is relentlessly bullied throughout her life, yet finds it in her heart to forgive by seeking strength from a higher source above.

Oedipus Rex

The story of Oedipus' gradual discovery of his primal crime, killing his father and marrying his mother, filmed by the famed British theatrical director Sir Tyrone Guthrie. This elegant version of Sophocles' play adds a brilliant stroke: the actors wear masks just as the Greeks did in the playwright's day.
