Ækte vare / Flow (2014)
Drama
Michael is a Danish kid who grows up in a housing project with mainly foreign immigrants. Along with a group of childhood friends he is making music. He is clearly the talent of the group. This catches the eye of established rapper Apollo, who makes Michael his ghostwriter. Being the big opportunity for Michael it also means moving on without his friends and threatening the unwritten laws of loyalty. Stuck in a paradox that only grows bigger, Michael puts all focus on the music hoping things will resolve themselves. But his friends lose patience and with a talent big enough to gradually take over more and more of Apollos spotlight, a showdown seems inevitable… FLOW is an authentic youth rap music film about choosing yourself and fulfilling your dreams.

Champs (2015)
Documentary
This epic story of the rise of three of the most successful boxers of our time challenges the perception of the American Dream through the intimately personal life trajectories of Evander Holyfield, Bernard Hopkins and Mike Tyson. Much like modern day gladiators, our protagonists come from the bottom rungs of society, choosing the path of boxing or "the poor man's sport," as a last resort, and an alternative to much bleaker options such as prison or, worse yet, death. Following these fighters' paths from success to self-discovery, they recount their battles while illuminating our country's most critical social issues, including the struggle with poverty, racial inequality, broken homes, drug and alcohol abuse, violence and the failures of our educational and prison systems. CHAMPS unearths the unique resilience of these men in the face of life's most difficult obstacles – from personal finance to sustained brain injury – and highlights how our society and their industry exalts their fleeting success, but leaves them without the skills, protections, medical care and training that they need to succeed outside of the ring. We call them "champs" in sport, but cannot help but ask whether they can truly be champions in life.
