As helmed by Josh Baxter, this documentary relays the unique and harrowing story of Charles 'Sully' O'Sullivan, an ace fighter pilot shot down in the jungles of New Guinea during World War II. O'Sullivan drew on basic survival skills that enabled him to last for over 30 days in the wilderness. In the process, he encountered a vicious tribe of cannibals intent on eating him, but somehow managed to escape from their territory (evading his pursuers) and arrived at a friendly Australian outpost. From there, O'Sullivan returned to the U.S. in one piece. But decades later, questions lingered about the soldier's journey, particularly after the remnants of his plane turned up in New Guinea, and he found that his arrival in the tribe had grown into a local legend among the natives. He began to consider returning to the site of the crash, but grew concerned that the tribesmen might put his life in danger once again. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
Documentary filmmaker Dave O'Brien follows a group of thirty-three gay, college-aged Christians on their quest to fight for equality by traveling to college campuses where LGBT students have been forbidden from living and loving who they chose. As expected, some colleges welcome the "Soulforce Freedom Ride" with open arms while others renege on promises and even threaten to have them arrested for trespassing. As the fight intensifies and the team attempts to open a dialogue with administrators and students, the members are frequently forced to choose between compromising and taking the fight off campus. Along the way, they share their own inspiring stories about embracing their true sexuality in environments that aren't always so accepting of non-traditional lifestyles. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
The efforts of one tireless concert promoter reuniting legendary hip-hop outfit the Wu-Tang Clan for one final farewell concert form the central story of filmmaker Denis Henry Hennelly's look at the events that led up to the group's historical performance at the Rock the Bells Music Festival. From luring the disagreeable Ol' Dirty Bastard from the comforts of his hotel room to the desperate attempts to calm the swelling crowd, this documentary offers a compelling look at one of hip-hop's most creative and influential acts. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
