Carrie Fernandez inherits a patent for one of her late father's inventions: a medical-grade healing device.

this human world: PRISON PROJECT: LITTLE SCANDINAVIA + Discussion
97 min., OmeU
In 2018 the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections concludes that the methods used in correctional practises today are not giving the desired results. There are high numbers of incarcerations and recidivism, in connection with a stressed-out staff whose life expectancy is lower than amongst war veterans.
One possible solution is to try and change the focus, and move towards a more humane and rehabilitating setting inside the prison.
In the summer of 2019 a group of correctional officers and management travels around Scandinavia in order to be inspired to a new way of doing things. For two weeks the US correctional officers work side-by-side with Norwegian colleagues to observe and collect clues on how aspects of Scandinavian prison practices, elements and methods could be adapted back home.
In late 2019 construction starts in the Charlie Alpha unit at State Correctional Institute Chester. This unit was given the name "Little Scandinavia".
The documentary follows the whole process from the early start in 2018 until January 2023.

Dajori (which means “mother” in Romani) tells the moving story of Marie, a strong Romani woman who lives with her husband Enrico in the poor Czech border town of Varnsdorf. Marie decides to help her younger sister, who has become homeless with her nine children. Two-year-old Anabel and nine-year-old Samuel come into Marie and Enrico's care. Over the next three years, the film follows the dynamics of the new family and Marie's efforts to compensate the traumatized children with maternal love while raising them according to her ideals.
