BLIND AMBITION (2022)
Starring Denis Garret, Jean Vincent Ridon, Joseph Dhafana, Marlvin Gwese, Pardon Taguzu and Tinashe Nyamudoka. Directed by Warwick Ross and Robert Coe.

Four Zimbabwean refugees who were forced to flee their home country in search of a better life become Africa’s best and most unlikely sommeliers and compete in the World Wine Blind Tasting Championships – the Olympics of the wine world.

RED OBSESSION (2013)
Starring Russell Crowe. Directed by David Roach and Warwick Ross.

For centuries Bordeaux has commanded a mythical status in the world of fine wines as a leitmotif of wealth, power and influence. Recently, prices for its prestigious ‘first growth’ red wines – including names like Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Latour – have been breaking all records.

Something unprecedented is happening to the fine wine market and that something is China. While the dragon economy could bring untold wealth to the revered wine-making region, the terms of engagement are different from any other customer in the past. This market is young, voracious and unpredictable. Demand is massively outstripping supply. The product is finite and this new client wants it all.

For better or worse, Bordeaux is hitching itself to this new, infinitely wealthy client. 'Red Obsession' sets out to explore this phenomenon and the link between China and Bordeaux.
