 Beautiful Losers         Thousand Hills, A

Beautiful Losers

Synopsis:
Beautiful Losers is a Comedy/Drama based on the crazed and inspired relationship between writer Jack Kerouac and con artist/car thief Neal Cassady and their journeys through America in the 1940s and 1950s. In their pursuit of the ultimate high, Jack and Neal leave New York City for Mexico, accompanied by a soundtrack of cool jazz, conversation, amphetamines and booze. On arrival in Mexico they are thrust into the world of William Burroughs and his partner Joan what happens next is a combination of high times, low deeds and cruel tragedy - almost unbelievable but terribly true. When Jack Kerouac's seminal novel 'On the Road' is published it propels Jack to the giddy heights of literary fame and seriously challenges his beautiful relationship with Neal. Beautiful Losers is a sweeping story of fame and its consequences. It is the story of the man who created the Beat Generation and the beginnings of the Counter Culture.

Synopsis:
a Thousand Hills is a deeply moving story based on the true life experiences of Francois Byamana, and his gripping account of survival during and after the Rwandan genocide in 1994. It is a story straight from the heart of africa that has a New Zealand connection; it's a story of love, identity, survival, hope, dignity and humanity. 1994  a dark time in african history. Philippe is a Rwandan fleeing the genocide that is taking place in his homeland. Making his way to a refugee camp Philippe meets Nick; a New Zealand Red Cross aid worker who develops a friendship with Philippe. Quickly the two men become trusted companions in a tale which spans the darkest of africa through to New Zealand, and a story fuelled by impossible circumstances, loss of identity, terrifying consequences, cultural collisions and ultimately two people who find that they only thing left to trust is each other.
