Red Cowboy
Clyde Lee Conrad was an officer in the U.S. Army in West Germany, where he was tasked with protecting the top secret documents related to the military plans in case of a war with the Soviet bloc. He was recruited in 1975 by the Hungarian Military Strategic Intelligence Service (MNVK/2) and later in 1980 he offered his services also to the Czech Intelligence Service. He caused the biggest leak of the top secret NATO documents in its history: detailed descriptions of nuclear weapons, plans for movement of troops, tanks, aircraft… More than 30 000 documents. Documents threw Hungarian and Czech agents - all the way up to the KGB. In the film we follow Conrad's work for the Czechoslovak secret police and counterintelligence procedure against him. Conrad was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1990.
Chief Justice Ferdinand Schuth said that Conrad enabled the real possibility that “If war had broken out between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the West would have faced certain defeat. NATO would have quickly been forced to choose between capitulation or the use of nuclear weapons on German territory.”

Dream-Heeders
The collective unconscious is a layer of the human psyche whose collective mental contents go beyond the individual, to the whole human community or race. Dream-Heeders examines the current state of the world and its direction as shared in our collective unconscious, via dreams. What of our collective unconscious do we share in these times of financial crisis and migration, rising extremism, ever greater consumption but also education, population growth, global warming and terrorism? Can dreams influence our choices and actions? Through the accounts of people impacted by life-altering trans-personal dreams, and with the latest findings of dream research, the film explores the collective nature of dreams as documentary testimonial of our times and the world we live in.
