It's been more than 90 years since Lewis Milestone's film adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's iconic novel All Quiet on the Western Front. It still stands as one of the best war movies ever made and among the most deserving Best Picture winners of all time. The film's anti-war sentiment was so powerful, it was denounced by Adolf Hitler and ultimately outlawed in Germany.

Hilarious, heartbreaking, insightful, and sensitive, this film is...

Moratto crafts an unflinching insight into the world of human trafficking and fuses it with a coming-of-age narrative where moral dilemmas abound at every turn.
