Watch any number of political thrillers or espionage films and you’ve undoubtedly seen more than a few ambassadors portrayed on screen, but when it comes to real life, how much do we really know about these appointed figures who seem to be untouchable? I can imagine at some point, this very same thought went through the head of Danish journalist Mads Brugger. Whatever his motivation, the journalist turned filmmaker turned his investigative eyes and ears toward the connection between ambassadorship to the Central African Republic (Car) and the lucrative smuggling of blood diamonds out of the country.
The term “blood diamonds” refers to diamonds that have been illegally exported from war-torn countries without authorization. If you’ve seen Edward Zwick’s 2006 film Blood Diamond, then you may have a sensationalized idea of what goes on in this region of Africa. What Brugger does is to take...

Indie Roundup is your weekly roundup of what's new and upcoming in the world of independent film. Pictured above, left to right: Douchebag, The Red Chapel.
Deals. With a title so cool you shouldn't say it in public, Drake Doremus' comedy Douchebag has been acquired for U.S. distribution. The film debuted at Sundance earlier this year, where our head honcho Erik Davis described it as "great in its delivery of awkward, relatable humor - the kind that only presents itself when two somewhat shlubby, disheveled brothers are forced to spend some quality time together even though they hate each other's guts." The estranged brothers head off on an ill-advised road trip just before one of them gets married. Erik says Douchebag "definitely packs a punch and creeps into those personal places you might not want it to explore." But remember: it's a comedy! Red Dragon will partner with...

Here's a documentary so astonishing that, for a time, I was convinced that I was being had -- that no sane filmmakers would ever attempt, much less pull off, anything this crazy. The Internet assures me that Mads Brügger and Johan Stahl's The Red Chapel, which won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, is very real indeed: that Brügger and a pair of comedian friends really did sneak into North Korea pretending to be a pro-Socialist vaudeville troupe there to engage in cultural exchange with local schoolchildren, that they really did get most of it on tape, and that they really did escape that fascist hellhole with life and limb intact. In the process, they've made a film equal parts horrifying, exhilarating and hilarious -- an epic prank on the world's most sinister dictatorship that makes Sacha Baron Cohen look like a shrinking violet in comparison.
