Two women named Mary -- both recently sexually assaulted by the same man -- meet at the police station and enter into the world that victims of assault have to endure, guided by a police constable and his colleague. As the action unfolds, it is commented on by the Furies -- a chorus of murdered women seen and heard only by the viewer. Flashes of wit and humour temper a dark and difficult subject.

'Nobody Someday' is an intimate, no-holds barred documentary of life on tour with Robbie. Robbie said to filmmaker Brian Hill that nothing was off limits to camera. The result is a refreshingly honest account of what it's like to travel on tour bus after tour bus, jump on stages (and sometimes unwittingly off them), belt out the hits, play some cards and orally satisfy fifteen thousand screaming fans a night!

MovieCrimeDocumentary
A loner from an early age, Thomas Quick went on to become Sweden's most notorious serial killer, openly confessing to the gruesome murders of more than 30 people. Held for decades in a psychiatric institute, Quick's confessions emerged after years working with a group of touchy feely therapists, convinced that the recovery of memories would cure patients of their criminality. In a country with a low crime rate, the nation watched with horror as Quick's confessions mounted, accounting for many of the country's unsolved murders. With testimonials from a range of people whose lives have been dominated by this story - including Quick himself - and dramatic reenactment, Brian Hill weaves a stylish noir thriller that works a treat on the big screen. What appears at first to be a tale of unimaginable evil evolves into something much more layered as Hill digs deep into the motivations behind those working closely with Quick.
