Lenny spent years clawing his way from an overweight, bullied childhood to the pinnacle of the Mauritian combat sports scene. Forged in the shadow of a complex family legacy and fueled by relentless discipline, his entire identity was built on movement, sacrifice, and the violent clarity of the ring. On the eve of his biggest career breakthrough, representing Mauritius on the international stage, a single high stakes miscalculation fractures everything. In an instant, the momentum stops. The dream evaporates. The fight is over, but the actual conflict has just begun. SARBON refuses the familiar language of traditional sports documentaries. There are no triumphant montages or easy answers. Instead, the camera lingers in the forced stillness that follows a devastating loss: the creeping doubt in an empty room, the confrontation with a mirror that offers no comfort, and the quiet decay of an identity tied strictly to performance. SARBON is an intimate, atmospheric study of psychological recovery. It explores what happens when a fighter can no longer run from his own demons, and how the very rage that broke him must be refined into the element that rebuilds him.

A story of Jack the Ripper A new take on the gruesome Jack the Ripper killings which terrorised the London slums in 1888. He outrageously murdered and mutilated a string of prostitutes - on the street - and sent boastful letters and body parts to the Police. But he was never caught. Unlike most films about JTR, this one does not seek to identify a new suspect and finally solve the case (there are already around 100 theoretical 'Suspects'). Instead it concerns itself with whatever happened to him. Why did he suddenly stop killing at the height of his murderous infamy, with London's East End in terror, his bloody deeds in all the papers and the Police in humiliating confusion? All dates, names, places, events and murder descriptions are historically accurate - except for the conclusion, which no one knows. Strong gore and profanity. . Loosely based on a real suspect.
