- Camel racing is a popular sport in the Middle East. In past years, thousands of young boys have been trafficked from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mauritania and other countries to work as jockeys in the UAE under excruciating conditions.

Desert Riders will examine the situation before and since these government policies were enacted, as well as the difficult journey to retrieve and recuperate these children.
- Inspired by the 2006 Academy Award® nominee for Best Foreign Language film, "Water," this documentary tells the story of some of the 20 million Indian widows who are abandoned by their families and literally turned out into the streets when their husbands died. "Water" was a fictional recounting of this terrible tradition, set in 1938. "The Forgotten Woman" is true, and happening today.
- "Teaching the Life of Music" is a documentary about the transformative power of music. It celebrates the success of Maestro Jose Abreu's mission to bring free music education and instruments to the underprivileged and at-risk youth of Venezuela. His vision and the work of his organization, El Sistema have inspired the creation of similar organizations in North America, specifically, Ottawa's The Leading Note Foundation, which has adapted its program to also support young new Canadians. Narrated by Glee's Cory Monteith, this documentary will reveal the inspiration and passion that defines El Sistema, and music's ability to create social change.
- Mexican national Honoria Delgado, now living in Vancouver, British Columbia, is preparing to attend a Halloween costume party as iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, which is ironic since Honoria detests Kahlo who she sees as a Mexican cliché. She sees herself having nothing in common with Kahlo besides being a Mexican female. But Honoria's decision to attend the party as Kahlo is not by accident, as she explains her life in Canada, her connection to Mexico and what keeps her from being truly happy.
