Poster for Children of the Mist

2022 · ★ 6.7 (17)

Di is a 12-year-old girl from the mist-shrouded mountains of northern Vietnam. She belongs to the Hmong, an ethnic minority in which girls get married at a very young age. This is often preceded by a controversial “bride-napping,” where the girl is abducted by her future husband on New Year’s Eve. Negotiations between the families follow. This also happened to Di’s sister and their mother, so it doesn’t seem strange that in preparation the women and girls discuss sex and married life without embarrassment. But Di also goes to school, where she learns very different values. And in her own way, even Di’s mother tries to warn her daughter about child marriage.

Poster for Triple X Selects: The Best of Lezsploitation

2007 · ★ 2.7 (3)

Swedish Wildcats, Italian Lesbionic Nuns, Frisky Inmates in South American Prisons, Euro Lesbo Vampires and a vast assortment of Sapphic Sleaze. This is Sexploitation. Exploitation. Gridhouse. To be Polite or Academic we call it Erotic Cinema. Whatever your term of choice, this genre's glory days blasted through the 60's and 70's. None of these films were strictly lesbian, or even for lesbians but this historic montage will change that. Here are Erotic Cinema's heroines of the 60's and 70's, fighting, tempting, teasing and fucking each other. These ladies are depraved, filthy-dirty and insatiable. You will be too.

2003 · ★ 6.4 (21)

Nogreh is a young Afghani woman living with her father and her sister-in-law, Leylomah, whose husband, Akhtar, is missing. Beyond the issue of Akhtar, Leylomah is most concerned with how to feed her baby. She cannot provide milk for her baby as her own hunger is preventing her from lactating.

Nogreh often displays signs of rebellion, such as wearing a pair of white pumps instead of the traditional slipper beneath her burqa. But mostly, Nogreh wants to be educated. Without her father's knowledge, Nogreh is attending a secular girls school. Ultimately, she wants to become President of Afghanistan. With the help of a Pakistani refugee who likes her as a woman, Nogreh tries to understand exactly what forces led to current world leaders being elected, those forces which she wants to emulate.
