The documentary follows one of the classes attending JFK High School in Newark, New Jersey, as they prepare for graduation. In a year and a half they will graduate from the public school system and go on to their next stage of life. What makes Janet Mino's class different from some others is that she teaches special needs students and some might find it difficult to move on to things that others without disabilities would find easier to accomplish.

In 2011, protests against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad turned into a violent conflict between the Syrian government and revolutionaries. As the revolution continues, wealthy Syrian socialite-turned-activist Razan teams up with Syrian-American lobbyist Mouaz to forge a link between the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and the West. However, their goal of a free and democratic Syria is put under strain as the revolution in Syria turns from bad to worse, and Western governments prove reluctant to get involved, despite the growing humanitarian crisis.

Sandrine Bonnaire a filmé en 2006 et 2007 sa sœur cadette Sabine, 38 ans, dans la structure d'accueil, en Charente, où elle vit avec quatre autres résidents et deux éducateurs permanents. Des extraits de films tournés dans l'adolescence et la jeunesse de Sabine montrent cette jeune fille « différente », déscolarisée après l'âge de 12 ans. Au collège, elle a réagi aux moqueries des petits garçons d'école primaire et des filles de sa classe et de tous ceux qui l'appelaient « Sabine la folle » en se blessant, se mordant, se griffant ou se déshabillant dans la cour.

Prix Sakharov 2014, le Docteur Mukwege est internationalement connu comme l’homme qui répare ces milliers de femmes violées durant 20 ans de conflits à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo, un pays parmi les plus pauvres de la planète, mais au sous-sol extrêmement riche. Sa lutte incessante pour mettre fin à ces atrocités et dénoncer l’impunité dont jouissent les coupables, dérange. Fin 2012, le Docteur est l’objet d'une nouvelle tentative d’assassinat, à laquelle il échappe miraculeusement. Menacé de mort, ce médecin au destin exceptionnel vit dorénavant cloîtré dans son hôpital de Bukavu, sous la protection des Casques bleus des Nations unies. Mais il n’est plus seul à lutter. A ses côtés, ces femmes auxquelles il a rendu leur intégrité physique et leur dignité, devenues grâce à lui de véritables activistes de la paix, assoiffées de justice.

On April 8, 2000, Mark Hogancamp was attacked outside of a bar by five men who beat him nearly to death. After nine days in a coma and forty days in the hospital, Mark was discharged with brain damage that left him little memory of his previous life. Unable to afford therapy, Mark creates his own by building a 1/6-scale World War II-era Belgian town in his yard and populating it with dolls representing himself, his friends, and even his attackers. He calls that town "Marwencol," a portmanteau of the names "Mark," "Wendy" and "Colleen." He rehabilitates his physical wounds by manipulating the small dolls and props — and his mental ones by having the figures act out various battles and stories.
