All the Wild Horses

All the Wild Horses – $9.99

All the Wild Horses (14+ Coarse Language) presented by High Moon Equine & Canine Sports Therapy – an adventure documentary about the Mongol Derby, the longest horse race in the world, that takes viewers on a wild ride, from a dramatic start with casualties medivaced off the field to an unexpected, nail-biting finish. Spanning a network of 28 horse stations across 1000 km of Mongolian wilderness over 8 days, the race recreates the horse messenger system developed by Genghis Khan. Riders from the United States, Canada, South Africa, Ireland, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands navigate with GPS as they battle extreme heat, swollen rivers, and wild dogs. Director Ivo Marloh rode the complete race twice in order to film the action first-hand and to find out what compels riders to face such arduous risks on the backs of wild horses in one of the last true wildernesses on Earth. Won Best International Feature Documentary at the 2017 Galway Film Fleadh among other awards. Watch the TRAILER below.

Free Lunch Society – $9.99

Free Lunch Society (5+) presented by Pizza Hut – a globe-trotting documentary that looks at the surprising history of a concept that, to some, seems like an idealistic fantasy: “What would you do if your income were taken care of?” Inspired by Star Trek’s utopian vision of a future without need, Austrian Director Christian Tod examines the concept of unconditional basic income – money for everyone as a human right without service in return – and finds it to be more reality than science fiction, an idea which has garnered intense discussions in all political and scientific camps. Are we ready for a free lunch society? Watch the TRAILER below.
