In The Bellwether, to the outside world Joanne (Reid) is just a bookstore owner, but The Conspiracy knows different. She is dangerous. She is a bellwether: a quiet leader who is well on her way to being her whole self. When they kidnap her to break her, to make her conform, they discover that Joanne is something so much more than even she ever knew. The Conspiracy locks Joanne in a 13th century chapel and she communicates with her 'operator' only through text and images shown a television. In order to break her, they work on her hidden pain, the fact that she had an abortion four years ago. After standing up to the mental torture, the Conspiracy goes even farther; impregnating her and trying to force her to have the baby. At the moment when she is about to give in she will either break, or everything will change, for herself and for the Conspiracy.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We're pleased to introduce to you the first edition of Rated SRTM - Socially Relevant Film Festival New York, to be launched March 14-20, 2014. Rated SR( TM) is devoted specifically to filmmakers and fans of entertaining and commercially viable movies that achieve box office success without resorting to gratuitous violence, vices and sensationalism. The festival will take place in New York City, the entertainment capital of the world.
Founding Artistic Director Nora Armani will be at the Cannes Film Festival 2013 to meet with you and fill you in on how you can participate as filmmaker, panelist, distributor, sales agent, partner and colleague. Submissions are open through December 15. www.filmfestivals.com, www.festhome.com and www.withoutabox.com.
Please feel free to schedule a brief meeting with us during Cannes 2013 by contacting Emilie Wacogne: +33 (0) 6 83 38 19 46.
Rated SR(TM) strives to deliver Socially Relevant films that shine a spotlight on human stories with a relevant message or cause. Perhaps the first Filmmakers' Lab of its kind in the U.S., Rated SR(TM) is devoted solely to the filmmakers who deal with this type of content. During the lab sessions new ways will be explored to help stories that matter reach a wider audience. The Lab will take place during the Upstate portion of the festival, March 14-16th, 2014.
Filmmakers from around the globe with socially relevant stories at various stages of development are encouraged to apply.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Have a great Cannes 2013!
From all of us at Rated SR(TM),
