My Neighbourhood chronicles the story of Palestinian teenager Mohammed El Kurd as half of his home in East Jerusalem is taken over by Israeli settlers.

State Builders sounds an uplifting film and a great panel trying to connect the filmmakers to policy makers #goodpitchGuy Gunaratne
The day of its independence in July 2011 South Sudan had a flag, a national anthem, a capital, and its first president, Salva Kiir. But these were about the only elements that proved its existence to the world and to its people. Today, everything else remains to be done - including setting borders, drafting a constitution, establishing an army and judicial system, creating systems to collect oil production revenues and income taxes...

Debts, fallouts, bailouts, cutbacks, strikes, riots: what is next for the people in Europe?

Call me Kuchu screened last wk to 1300 ppl at Castro theatre and got a 5 min standing ovation #goodpitchBalihar
In an unmarked office at the end of a dirt track, veteran activist David Kato labors to repeal Uganda’s homophobic laws and liberate his fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women, or “kuchus.” But David’s formidable task just became much more difficult. A new “Anti-Homosexuality Bill” proposes death for HIV-positive gay men, and prison for anyone who fails to turn in a known homosexual (continue reading the film's synopsis).

5.- BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!*, directed by Fredrik Gertten, produced by Elin Kamlert.

#goodpitch I saw Big Boys Go Bananas @sheffdocfest and found it made me first incredibly angry, but then amazingly uplifted. This'll be goodH
What is a big corporation capable of doing in order to protect its brand?
"If you have mighty enemies you need good friends" - Fredrik Gerrten, director of 'David vs Goliath' doc Big Boys go Bananas* at #goodpitchAsim Haneef
Gertten's previous film Bananas!* (2009) recounts the lawsuit that 12 Nicaraguan plantation workers brought against the fruit giant Dole Food Company for their use of a banned pesticide that the banana workers claimed had made them sterile.
Good Pitch Europe 2012BRITDOC Foundation
Dole subsequently subjected Gertten, the film's producer Margarete Jangård and WG Film to a massive bullying campaign, using scare tactics and PR-spin to manipulate the media.

6.- THE KILLING FIELDS OF SRI LANKA, directed by Callum Macrae, produced by Zoe Sale & Chris Shaw.

In May 2009 the 26 year long civil war between the government of Sri Lanka and the secessionist forces of the Tamil Tigers came to an awful bloody end.
Sri Lanka's Killing FieldsIn the north east of Sri Lanka just now there is a brutal and repressive clamp-down on the Tamil population. Thousands are still homeless...
This was supposed to be a war without witnesses. But the war crimes and crimes against humanity, the massacres and the executions of prisoners, were filmed – by both victims and perpetrators. See the trailer.

A powerful pitch by @Callum_Macrae and Zoe Sale for Sri Lanka's #KillingFields documentary here at #goodpitch - spine-chilling footage.Asim Haneef

7.- IN YOUR VOICE, IN YOUR HEART, directed by James Hall & Ed Lovelace, produced by Lucas Ochoa. 

Every eleven minutes three people in the UK have a stroke. The consequences are life-changing and full recovery is often unreached. This is one story that proves rehabilitation has no limits, altering the perception of recovery and inspiring hope for those affected

Achingly beautiful and vital film about Edwyn Collin's recovery from Stroke! I'd give them at least twenty quid on kick starter #goodpitchSarah Ross

Edwyn Collins 'A Girl Like You'thegavinevanschannel
"Each of the stories he tells us is another fragment of his shattered identity and as we progress through the film we see him reassembled in front of us."
Everyone seems to be a bit giddy that Edwyn Collins is in the room. Great that this project is getting so much love and support. #goodpitchIngrid Kopp
Jackie Cooper of Edelman speaks beautifully, offers incredibly personal + company support. @EdelmanDigital This is making me cry. #goodpitchSandi DuBowski
Last year and against all odds Edwyn Collins released the album Losing Sleep to huge critical acclaim.
It strikes me that one of the things #goodpitch does brilliantly (besides so much else) is harness the power of networks.Asim Haneef

Good Pitch Europe 2012BRITDOC Foundation
This film tells the story of the ongoing struggle in Egypt. From its start in Tahrir to the fall of Mubarak, we follow the characters as victory turns to the uncertainty of military rule and where everything they fought for is under threat. The world thought the Revolution had already been won but for our characters it had only just begun.
We were so busy making the film that we haven't raised all the money. We need £200K to get the film to the next step (Karim Amer) #GoodPitchcineuropa.org
