You Cannot Hide From Allah

Ihsan Khan was like many other immigrants. He left his home in Pakistan and went to America looking for work. He found it in Washington DC where he drove a cab for over twenty years. And then he won the lottery. $54 million to be precise. Suddenly, he could do anything he wanted to do. So he went back to his home town in Pakistan and ran for Mayor. And won. But that was just the beginning of his troubles. Money, politics, complaints and corruption... democracy is a messy business. This is one of a series of films made for Why Democracy?, a documentary project using film to start a global conversation about democracy. For more information see www.whydemocracy.net

Theres and Dominique have been raising rare-breed farm animals in the south of France for 20 years. It was an idealistic project they were both passionate about and which has been a great success. They now have over 8,000 animals on the farm. And 5 children, too.

But despite their shared passion, they find they have grown apart. Their priorities are no longer the same and they struggle to balance work with family life. They begin to realise that if the farm project has reached a conclusion, where do they go from here?

An honest portrayal of a couple negotiating a changing relationship.
