‘Blind Ambition’, ‘The Kids’ to premiere at Tribeca Film Festival
Two Australian documentaries, Robert Coe and Warwick Ross’ Blind Ambition and Eddie Martin’s The Kids, will make their world premiere in competition at Tribeca Film Festival in June.

Blind Ambition, directed and produced by Coe and Ross for Third Man Films, follows four Zimbabwean refugees who form their country’s first Wine Tasting Olympics team, and the mission that drives them to compete.

Coe and Ross said to premiere at Tribeca was “absolutely thrilling.”

“We are truly grateful to Tinashe, Joseph, Marlvin and Pardon for letting us into their lives and giving us the opportunity to bring their inspiring underdog story to the screen,” they told If in a joint statement.

“Their talent, perseverance and relentless optimism showed us just how irrepressible the human spirit can be and we can’t wait to share their journey with the Tribeca audience and Australian audiences soon after.”

But one of the few exceptions lends a tragic weight that few of his films have.

The true story in question is what’s commonly referred to as Incident on Hill 192: in 1966, an American army squad in the Vietnam War kidnapped a young village girl, then subsequently gang-raped and murdered her.
