Movie

The Camorra is on its knees and the credit goes to Gomorroide, an unexpectedly successful television series that mocks the ruthless criminal organization. Thanks to the TV series, people are less afraid of bosses and the underworld and have found the courage to rebel against abuses. The three main actors are real stars but one day the television station receives an envelope with three bullets addressed to them. However, no one takes the intimidation seriously, at least until a series of events and misunderstandings force the trio to enter a protection program that will toss them up and down Italy. Unjustly accused, the Camorra will not stand by and watch.

The Summit is a 2012 documentary film about the 2008 K2 disaster directed by Nick Ryan. It combines documentary footage with dramatized recreations of the events of the 2008 K2 disaster. On the way to and from the summit, eleven climbers died during a short time span creating one of the worst catastophes in climbing history. Much of the documentary footage was captured by Swedish mountaineer Fredrik Sträng. Sträng was planning to do a Documentary which was aborted due to the fact that he did not reach the summit. The footage was still valuable to help solving what really did happen since all the climbers had different stories about what happened.
