Sundance Selects, which is available on the main on-demand platform of such cable operators as Comcast, Cox, Cablevision and Time Warner, has two new films coming in March.

March 10 comes My Enemy’s Enemy, a documentary from Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) shown at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals that tells of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie a.k.a. the Butcher of Lyon. His story is said to be full of intrigue and suspense, along the lines of such films as The Odessa File and The Boys From Brazil.

Also, coming March 24 is Against the Current, a drama based on a true story of a man who aims to swim the Hudson River. The film premiered at Sundance and stars Joseph Fiennes, Justin Kirk (“Weeds”), Elizabeth Reaser (The Twilight Saga: New Moon), Michelle Trachtenberg (awesomely bitchy Georgina Sparks in “Gossip Girl”) and none other than Mary Tyler Moore. 

The films will be available for two to three months.
