Synopses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Question Of Country – (5M 5W) Nabuntu, a black woman, and Julia, a white woman, secretly form a grass roots organization to fight against apartheid in the early 1970\u2019s in Cape Town. But in post-apartheid South Africa, the conflicts and collision of cultures, and the ongoing, impenetrable class divisions, make the \u201cwartime\u201d friendship impossible. In the end, it is race, not class, which divides. Whose country is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday At Five On the Cote D’Azur – A divorced New York actress and a widowed London psychiatrist meet on a senior dating site and plan an assignation somewhere neither have ever been — the French Riviera. Their dating profiles turn out to have many “alternative facts,\u201d which both discover on this anything but romantic tryst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
