Thursday premiere w. 43-44

Many new little friends on Puffin Rock, weight loss in the most unhealthy way, and an award-winning documentary about the Philippines are some of the ingredients in this week's newly released films on Viddla.

In the documentary Aswang, we follow individuals who are affected in various ways by President Duterte's relentless hunt for drug offenders in the Philippines.

In Fat Front, we meet four women from Scandinavia who refuse to be ashamed of their overweight bodies. They all agree that a body with a few extra pounds can be beautiful, even if it does not necessarily fit into society's prevailing beauty ideals.

Omar is a gangster on the run in Algeria to escape serving a 20-year sentence. He must give up all criminal activity and keep a low profile, and takes a job in a bakery. But problems seem to follow him in the film King of Algiers.

The award-winning film Club Zero is an absurd study of eating disorders and weight control. Nutrition expert and teacher Miss Novak convinces her students to start what is called "mindful eating." But a few students decide to take it all a bit too far.

I am here is a life-affirming documentary about 98-year-old Ella. She is from South Africa and is a Holocaust survivor with a positive outlook on life. Her most important message is to always be grateful.

At Puffin Rock, it's never boring, and in New Friends at Puffin Rock we meet Oona and her friends who must save the last little egg before the storm begins. This animated film from 2023 is suitable for all ages.
