由西班牙导演伊格尼斯(Álex de la Iglesia)所执导的《球神梅西》自传电影,完整描述阿根廷足球天王巨星梅西(Lionel Messi)童年时期到成名,是一部半纪录半剧情片,片中访问了包含梅西的朋友、队友、教练、足球界明星球员等,并在罗萨里奥、布宜诺斯艾利斯、巴塞隆纳等三地取景。 「我们知道他在场上宛如天才,我们也想知道他在场下是什么样的人。」 梅西的童年采用剧情片模式「重现」,剧本由前阿根廷国家队球员瓦达纳(Jorge Valdano)撰写,为求真实性,海选找来长相神似梅西的9岁伊拿斯奥( Juan Ignacio Martinez)担纲,演出梅西在童年患下荷尔蒙缺乏症,身高无法长高,还一度威胁到性命的过程。全片带着观众抽丝剥茧,探寻引领阿根廷队在2014年争夺世界杯足球冠军的他,是天生球星还是后天成材?这一路又是如何在最终缔造出球坛传奇。
Foodborne pathogens kill around 3,000 people in the U.S. every year and hospitalize hundreds of thousands more. Romaine lettuce, cantaloupe, sprouts . . . all have been at the center of outbreaks which have become alarmingly frequent in recent years. Their solutions are simple, but protections are scattershot, with little bureaucratic will to enforce them. And yet, our politicians keep saying that “the U.S. food supply is the safest in the world. Poisoned The Dirty Truth About Your Food is a documentary that holds the public and private influences behind these decisions to account, beginning with the Jack In the Box E. Coli outbreak of 1992-1993 and continuing to the present day. Director Stephanie Soechtig provides tips on what to avoid at the supermarket, demystifies the tangle of regulations that govern what we eat, and tells the stories of families who have lost loved ones to foodborne illness. This is a film that will make you think about what’s on your plate and how it got there in eye-opening new ways.

Is it humankind's greatest achievement 12 billion miles away a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space. It is the first human-made object ever to do so. Slowly dying within its heart is a plutonium generator that will beat for perhaps another decade before the lights on Voyager finally go out. But this little craft will travel on for millions of years, carrying a Golden Record bearing recordings and images of life on Earth. In all likelihood Voyager will outlive humanity and all our creations. It could be the only thing to mark our existence. Perhaps some day an alien will find it and wonder. The story of Voyager is an epic of human achievement, personal drama and almost miraculous success. Launched 16 days apart in Autumn 1977, the twin Voyager space probes have defied all the odds, survived countless near misses and almost 40 years later continue to beam revolutionary information across unimaginable distances. With less computing power than a ...
