INTERNATIONAL: In Passing
18:00 Sat 13 Jan 2018
In Canada a woman’s life is thrown into turmoil after a trip to the cinema; in Portugal a boy learns from his teacher that if the heart stops, people die; whilst in Columbia a group of girls are held in a jungle prison camp, enduring the oppressive, harsh terrain. Time ticks on and the shadow of death looms large. From tense real time drama to meditative, languid panoramas, this programme explores the myriad ways in which time and loss intertwine. 91 mins
