Battle Angel

This historical drama tells the story of Qin Shihuang, who unified China's vast territory and declared himself emperor in 221 B.C. During his reign, he introduced sweeping reforms, built a vast network of roads and connected the Great Wall of China. From the grandiose inner sanctum of Emperor Qin's royal palace, to fierce battles with feudal kings, this film re-creates the glory and the terror of the Qin Dynasty, including footage of Qin's life-sized terra cotta army, constructed 2,200 years ago for his tomb.

Rachel is desperate to be seen. Not the way her terminally ill father sees her, and not the way her Church Support Group sees her. Not even the way her mentor, Kathy sees her. Really seen. Newly sober and ready to start her life again, Rachel (Caroline Levien) finds herself back with her father, Glen (Nicholas Hope) and languishing in the role of his primary carer. Lonely and overlooked, Rachel turns to her online persona, 'J@de' and the world of chat-room camming as a place to see and be seen. But Rachel's escapism cannot keep the real world at bay forever.
