Episode 13 - Pervert Park

Published: May 20, 2016, 5:58 p.m.

Episode 13 of One Week Only! Only 4 films this week - Carlos is busy attending the Hola Mexico Film Festival as part of a fellowship for young hispanic filmmakers! Our key film of the week is the award-winning documentary "Pervert Park" which premiered at Sundance 2015. A harrowing look at a trailer home park for registered sex offenders, it makes us think about uncomfortable questions about justice and forgiveness, and the blurred line between victim & criminal. It plays at the NY Media Center this week as part of IFP Screen Forward. We also cover the 1921 silent film "Destiny" by Fritz Lang, newly restored & back in theatres thanks to Kino Lorber; Spanish drama "Ma Ma" starring Penélope Cruz as a mother suffering from breast cancer; and French drama "The Measure of a Man" starring Vincent Lindon as a downtrodden man desperate to find a job - Lindon won Best Actor at Cannes 2015 for his performance. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.imcompetech.com
