In Greenland, the cameras follow Lars Jeremiassen, a 65-year-old seal hunter, as he and his neighbors struggle to maintain their traditional lifestyle even as the ice on which their livelihood depends continues to contract year after year (and the winter hunting season with it). In Tuvalu -- comprised of three small islands and six atolls in the Pacific that together encompass only 10 square miles -- the rising sea level has begun to contaminate the groundwater with salt, killing off the local vegetation. Some of the natives have already fled to New Zealand with their families, but those left behind who lack resources to emigrate are worried about their children's future. For both locales, the sense of sadness and loss is palpable and deeply poignant. A hauntingly personal portrait of two regions that are immediately threatened by global warming, Thule Tuvalu delivers a sobering warning about the fate that could soon befall many other places. Presented in its full-length version and abridged edition, this is recommended.\" - \u003cstrong\u003eVideo Librarian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/extension\/\" style=\"height: 20px;

Years later, Michele Josue, a close friend of Matt's, revisits the shocking case with never-before-seen photos, rare video footage, as Shepard's all-too-brief life is remembered through the vivid testimonies of those who knew him best. New revelations emerge in one of the most notorious hate crimes in US history, leading to a searing, poignant, and multi-layered biographical and sociological portrait. In the end, the notion of forgiveness--embodied in the moving and courageous final act of Shepard's parents--takes on truly heroic proportions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/152214198?color=ffffff\u0026amp;title=0\u0026amp;byline=0\u0026amp;portrait=0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/152214198\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eMatthew Shepard Is a Friend of Mine (Trailer)\u003c\/a\u003e from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/collectiveeyefilms\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCollective Eye Films\u003c\/a\u003e on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVimeo\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestivals \u0026amp; Awards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleveland International Film Festival 2014, Best Film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmerge Film Festival, Maine, 2015, Best Documentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival 2014, 2nd place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut on Film, Atlanta, 2014, Best Documentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToronto Inside Out Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival 2014, Best Documentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, 2014, 2nd place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended by Educational Media Reviews Online:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\"A profoundly moving portrait of Shepard's life and death seen from the perspective of his friends...\u003c\/span\u003eOne of the strengths of the documentary is that it puts a face to the cold facts by asserting that the most effective antidote against hate is to get acquainted with personal stories of the people impacted most directly by discrimination...The film is not naively optimistic nor does it present an overly simplified story of courage conquering hate. Even at the funeral, the crowd that we see bereft with grief and strong with solidarity is dramatically contrasted by the hate groups picketing in the background. The outpouring of letters of support is tainted by the number of hate letters that condone the crime in the name of morality and religion. The film's reflection on hate and forgiveness has unexpected turns, as Matt's courageous parents decide to plea for the killer's capital punishment to be committed to life in prison instead. The director’s message is clear: personal closure may never arrive; perhaps it is better that way, as remembering from a place of full acceptance, spurs us into action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis film is a superb tool for fostering dialogue around issues like bullying, hate crimes and discrimination.

It is considered to be the worst manmade environmental disaster in U.S. history. Grand Isle, the last inhabited barrier island off the coast of Louisiana, sits 100 miles from the Deepwater Horizon site, and its inhabitants are entirely dependent on the surrounding water for their livelihood. Once Deepwater oil made its way to Grand Isle, it decimated everything it touched -- and that was just the beginning. Filmmaker Juliet Brown's powerful documentary Ecocide chronicles the short- and long-term effects of the Deepwater spill on the Grand Isle's people and environment: wildlife dying or suffering from mutations from the oil and the chemical dispersant used during cleanup; commerce disrupted due to trawlers being unable to fish sullied water; tourist dollars lost; and a population slowly succumbing to health conditions related to the spill. The film ironically balances these sad facts with BP and local, state, and federal claims that the cleanup was successful and crisis eliminated. To further drive home the message, images of water, shorelines, and wildlife destroyed by thick black oil sludge and a community slowly falling apart are juxtaposed with notably sparse scenes of vacationing beach goers after the island has supposedly received a clean bill of health. Ecocide successfully illustrates how willful ignorance continues the damage begun by the oil spill. Extras include a featurette on efforts to make ecocide an international crime.

On the surface, stuttering is syllable repetitions, prolongations, blocks, and various physical tics. But as he illustrates in THE WAY WE TALK, stuttering is like an iceberg, with the major symptoms below the surface. Emotions caused by the disorder— anxiety, depression, denial, and a negative self-image—are rarely confronted in speech therapy or even by people who stutter. Turner explores his own experiences with stuttering and presents the stories of others who are part of the self-help movement within the stuttering community—stories that are relatable to anyone who has experienced feelings of separateness, isolation, or inadequacy in any area their life, and are trying to make the most of who they are.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/153298309?color=ffffff\u0026amp;title=0\u0026amp;byline=0\u0026amp;portrait=0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/153298309\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe Way We Talk (Trailer)\u003c\/a\u003e from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/collectiveeyefilms\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCollective Eye Films\u003c\/a\u003e on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVimeo\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \/ Quotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \"Director Michael Turner decided to make a documentary about stuttering after a friend asked him to explain what it was like. In his voiceover, Turner explains that he kind of grew up with the disorder since several relatives all stuttered at various times. Turner starts by asking his brother Ryan about stuttering, but the latter prefers not to dwell on it (their mother wishes the family had talked about it more). Interestingly, home movies show Turner's grandfather stuttering, while young Michael doesn't appear to have developed the disorder yet. Turner next meets with Dr. Dennis Drayna, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, who confirms that stuttering is an inherited condition. \"This mutation is about 12,000 years old,\" he states. Turner also observes a support group in Japan and a summer camp for youth in North Carolina. The campers worry about their prospects in terms of job interviews and professions that involve verbal communication, but the camaraderie with other stutterers gives them confidence. Turner follows up by joining a group in Portland, OR, where he meets Ian, who becomes a friend, and Glenn, a speech therapist, who describes stuttering as \"brain-based\" rather than psychological. ...  [P]eople who stutter- as well as family and friends- will find much to relate to here.

After the regime fell from power in 2001, a fledgling free press emerged and a photography revolution was born. Now, as foreign troops and media withdraw, Afghanistan is left to stand on its own, and so are its journalists. Set in a modern Afghanistan bursting with color and character, FRAME BY FRAME follows four Afghan photojournalists as they navigate an emerging and dangerous media landscape – reframing Afghanistan for the world, and for themselves. Through cinema vérité, intimate interviews, powerful photojournalism, and never-before-seen archival footage shot in secret during the Taliban regime, the film connects audiences with four humans in the pursuit of the truth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/141104728?title=0\u0026amp;byline=0\u0026amp;portrait=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Selections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSXSW - World Premiere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHotDocs - Top Ten Audience Favorite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAFI Docs - Official Selection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAshland Independent Film Festival - Audience Award\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBFI London - Grierson Award Nominee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCamden Int'l Film Festival - Best Documentary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHighly Recommended by Video Librarian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Although 15 years have passed since U.S.-led military forces invaded and occupied Afghanistan, it often seems that very little progress has been made in the nation’s movement away from Taliban-era oppression towards a 21st-century concept of a modern republic. Filmmakers Alexandria Bombach and Mo Scarpelli’s documentary details how the concept of a free Afghani press is struggling to take root here, profiling four local photojournalists—including Farzana Wahidy and her Pulitzer Prize-winning husband Massoud Hossaini—as they face skepticism, hostility, and threatened violence while trying to document events in a country that is caught in an endless struggle between forces that want to maintain a rigid Islamic theocracy and those trying to inch Afghanistan towards becoming a progressive state where a spirited independent press can operate without fear of reprisal. Considering that very little current news from Afghanistan is relayed via the U.S. media, Frame by Frame offers an invaluable, albeit also harrowing, glimpse into a nation that doesn’t seem to have benefited much from the occupation by U.S. and European forces. Indeed, the Afghanistan captured here by the photojournalists appears to be very much locked in a Taliban mind-frame. Highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (P.

Seed argues that industrial farming has created environmental hazards while also threatening the health of the population through genetically modified foods and the pesticides used to keep crops free from insects. The film profiles efforts made by small farms to remain independent of corporate encroachment, and it features numerous interviews with experts—including, somewhat surprisingly, primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall—who comment on this state of affairs. Featuring an imaginative visual style and carefully layered storytelling that does not dumb down the complex subject, Seed is presented here both in its full-length version and an hour-long abridged edition.

In North America, the way a Muslim woman dresses is her personal choice, but that choice, which includes whether or not to wear hijab to cover her hair, is often met with both approval and criticism. The film Between Allah \u0026amp; Me (and Everyone Else) explores the challenges of Farida, Shaila, Naima, and Sarah, four Torontonian Muslim women making decisions about their personal dress codes. When these women decide to start or stop wearing hijab, they cannot foresee the range of reactions other people will have to their choices. The film follows the women’s personal journeys and their interactions with different members of society, and in doing so reveals that the piece of fabric called hijab carries many diverse meanings and messages. As these women try to follow their faith and their hearts at the same time, the film unveils the intricate and complex effects of hijab on Muslim women, their families and communities, and the larger multicultural society in which they live.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/173013808?color=ffffff\u0026amp;title=0\u0026amp;byline=0\u0026amp;portrait=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \/ Quotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e“[Kyoko] truly crafted a documentary… We saw fascinating character arcs and felt quite close to your characters…  film that should travel to festivals and beyond.” \u003ci\u003e– \u003c\/i\u003eMarc Glassman, Film critic, publisher and professor, Ryerson University, MFA in Documentary Media program\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e “Between Allah and Me not only deals with a timely topic, but one that has great personal relevance to me.

Farida, who is of Turkish decent, grew up in Russia at a time when the state discouraged religious expression, so she’s been trying to make up for lost time. She studies the Qur’an and prays five times a day, although her mother doesn’t see the point of the hijab. Farida also trades in her short-sleeved tops and above-the-knee skirts for more modest apparel. When she attended Islamic school as child, Shaila felt like a sinner until her mother bought her a hijab. After wearing it for 20 years, she has now entered politics, and decides that it doesn’t feel right anymore, so she only wears the hijab for special occasions. As she puts it, “I feel that Allah can read my heart, and that's what Islam is to me”. At the beginning of the film, Naima, a student, believes that wearing the Hijab is the right thing to do — although she isn’t sure the it’s mandatory, since religious scholars disagree on the point —but she comes to the same conclusion as Shaila, and stops wearing it. Since she wore the hijab for four years, those when know her express surprise, but she assures them that her beliefs haven’t changed. Her friend, Sarah, has her mother’s support for wearing the hijab, but her secular father criticizes the practice, calling it a relic from an earlier era. By allowing her subjects to speak for themselves, Yokoma offers viewers who are interested in religion and gender studies much food for thought in this documentary that is sure to provoke discussion.

every year. OF DOGS AND MEN takes audiences on a journey with pet owners through the tragedy of loss and pursuit of change in a legal system in which the very officers they challenge are an integral part. From SWAT raids to simple calls and even visits to wrong addresses, we are seeing more and more incidents of officers using lethal force against a family pet, despite the fact that no officer

It's the opening chapter for story after story after story: probation checks, accidental 911 calls, wrong addresses, false accusations.

It finds a problem, shows it to the audience, and attempts to inspire you to do something. The laziest of this ilk simply believes that you care as much as the filmmaker does. The better ones throw out the idiocy of assumption and are constructed to make you care. Of Dogs and Men is one of the better ones. Director Michael Ozias isn’t making this film for dog owners, he already has them on his side. Instead he takes the care and time to illustrate that this isn’t some one-off issue, wherein a handful of unlucky families lose a pet. The blank looks that accompany those that still appear to have trouble believing that their loved ones are gone are terrifyingly real. These aren’t hysterics and finger pointing that can be alienating in their grandiosity, they are troubling reminders that it can happen to anyone. For so much of its runtime, Of Dogs and Men has made your stomach drop, your eyes water, your rage grow, but director Michael Ozias recognizes that that is just the beginning. Of Dogs and Men may make you cry and it will certainly make you mad, but more importantly than anything else, it shows you how to make a change.\" - Next Projection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\"Domestic dogs who are judged “vicious”—including Jack Russell Terriers and Chihuahuas—are gunned down by officers in alarming numbers according to filmmaker Michael Ozias, despite the fact that not one recorded instance exists of a lawman being killed by any dog, anywhere. Of Dogs and Men interview the bereaved families of slain animals, people who are heartbroken and bewildered at the use of deadly force against their pets. Some officers also speak on camera; one police chief seems particularly clueless when trying to justify the shootings.

Here it becomes a cautionary tale of the Internet from filmmaker Neal Broffman. Tripathi, a musically inclined Brown University student from an assimilated Indian-American Bryn Mawr household, disappeared in March of that year. Worried relatives utilized Facebook, YouTube, and other online resources in their frantic search. The digerati were supportive...initially. Then the deadly Boston Marathon bombs went off (detonated by two Islamic-militant Chechen brothers), and the still-missing Sunil somehow got labeled as a prime suspect. Web-based journalists (the site Reddit is especially criticized here) feverishly re-tweeted the unconfirmed rumors and misinformation, and Tripathi's already-desperate family found themselves vilified and threatened by cyberspace trolls in a cruel rush to judgment. That social media crawls with obscene bigots, bullies, and sociopaths is not exactly a revelation, but this film offers a moment-by-moment depiction of how \"fake news\" and high-tech lynching happens. Tripathi’s fate is ultimately revealed in this tragic but instructive story that could not be more timely. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (C.

Gagno's backstory is particularly interesting: born autistic, Robert did not even start speaking fully until the age of seven. A loner child, pinball has become his chief method of interacting with the world (although as a boy he did develop a habit of spontaneous hugging). Robert's nurturing parents have gifted him with several full-sized machined for training and fun, but they worry about him being able to live independently. Robert himself says that he refuses to be defined by autism, and there is a not-so-subtle parallel made by Canadian filmmakers Nathan Drillot and Jeff Petry between Gagno striving to maintain focus in pinball tournaments and facing day-to-day challenges of applying for jobs and maintaining relationships (the obvious connection with The Who's fictitious disables pinball maestro\/messiah Tommy is only made during the closing credits). The excitement of the world championship pinball is hard to capture in narrative form, but Gagno's human-interest story effectively provides the film's spark. An uplifting portrait, this is recommended. Aud: C, P. (C.

Filmmakers Anthony Aalto and Mike Hinchey’s documentary, designed to motivate state residents to support legislative action on homelessness, is a work of advocacy journalism that carries a compelling urgency. The images of scores of adults and children on busy, urban streets—not just hanging out or sleeping, but living in makeshift encampments—are disturbing. The filmmakers get to know many of these individuals, capturing stories about drug use, mental health crises, victimization, or the folly of having moved to Oahu from the mainland U.S. only to end up without work, a place to rent, or resources. No Room in Paradise also presents numerous perspectives from government and city leaders (including Hawaii’s governor and Honolulu’s mayor), along with public health and housing professionals, on how to deal with these issues. What emerges is the fact that the lack of a master plan for coordinating services for the homeless is both costly and inefficient. It’s also clear that the people in charge of services are at the mercy of a state legislature that lacks both financial and political capital to pay for real solutions. What would help, they say, is a change in the public’s stance on homelessness, shifting from disdain and cynicism to a compassionate practicality. Although the film looks at trouble in one particular paradise, the issue is one that is being felt nationwide. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (T.

Phuntsok matured and became deeply concerned with the welfare of other lost children. Leaving the temple life, he founded the Jhamtse Gatsai Children's Home in the Himalayan foothills of northern India, a commune-like haven that emphasizes mutual support and compassion—as opposed to professional counselors and career social workers. Five-year-old Tashi Drolma is a spirited girl troublemaker, a newcomer to the community, although much of the real drama here lies instead in the heartache of desperate families whose surplus kids, unlike Tashi, do not make it into Jhamtse Gatsai's small population... Opening a window onto the plight of the impoverished in a part of the world more associated with mountaineering adventure and visual splendor, this is recommended.\" - \u003cem\u003eVideo Librarian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andrew Hinton","offers":[{"title":"University \u0026 College (with PPR*)","offer_id":33203464145,"sku":"TTM-U","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"K-­12, Public Libraries, Non-­Profits \u0026 Government (with PPR*)","offer_id":33203464209,"sku":"TTM-K","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Public Libraries (without PPR*) \/ Home Use","offer_id":33203464273,"sku":"TTM-P","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Site License","offer_id":33203464337,"sku":"TTM-D","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/products\/Tashi.png?v=1575931781"},{"product_id":"american-winter-educational","title":"American Winter","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/WebsiteButton_3bb924f4-b7af-47a7-98d9-8c2765d50eb0_480x480.jpg?v=1718641924\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.collectiveeye.org\/products\/barge-screening\" title=\"Link to screening page BARGE\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.collectiveeye.org\/products\/barge-screening\" title=\"Link to screening page BARGE\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/American_Winter_Discussion_Guide.pdf?9795503593304629396\" title=\"American Winter Discussion Guide\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/pdf-icon-4_thumb.png?v=1491842675\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/American_Winter_Discussion_Guide.pdf?9795503593304629396\" title=\"American Winter Discussion Guide\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick here to download the American Winter discussion guide!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirected by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joe Gantz \u0026amp; Harry Gantz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduced by\u003c\/strong\u003e: Joe Gantz \u0026amp; Harry Gantz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017 Educational release \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRunning Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 71 min \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sociology, Children, Youth and Family, Socioeconomics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMERICAN WINTER\u003c\/strong\u003e is a timely documentary that follows the personal stories of eight families struggling in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eFilmed over the winter of 2011-12, the film reveals the devastating effects of the mortgage meltdown, high unemployment, the health care crisis, and budget cuts to the social safety net through the eyes of families in crisis.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eWoven into the film are interviews with economic experts, policy analysts, religious leaders, and social workers.

Cameras follow several representative families in weakening income brackets, whose breadwinners have lost jobs to overseas, suffered cuts in benefits, and are now left slaving for the minimum wage—when they can find jobs at all. One woman is newly widowed, experiencing her first winter with her son in a homeless shelter. Another household has to choose between paying the mortgage or utilities bills (a good neighbor allows them to run an electrical cord all the way to his property). A man whose son has Down syndrome faces foreclosure on a homestead that he says brings the boy stability. Another couple, turned out of their own place, must move back in with parents. While some social-service organizations offer relief, one pastor interviewed here declares that he has never seen so many new needy with so few safety nets. Occasional intertitles offer statistics on corporate job-killing practices and the pernicious decay of the middle-class, but policy-makers and apologists for Wall Street are conspicuous by their absence. A powerful, timely documentary, this is highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (C.

Although two of the artists, Nermine Hammam and Maliheh Afnan, hail from the Middle East, all are based in the United kingdom. In addition to their interviews, Sternberg captures the women at work. Some incorporate their own bodies into pieces, like sculpture Alice Anderson, who puts her dance experience to use in her performance art, which involves wrapping objects with copper wire (which reflects her red hair). “My language,” she says, “is the body.” She also stars in short films with dolls formed in her image. Sculptor Jodie Carey uses blood as a dye, although she doesn’t say how she procures it. She also soaks newspaper in tea and coffee in order to form autumnal flowers. Sarah Lederman’s body serves as a model for her paintings, which feature a fair amount of nudity. Some of the women also talk about children, whether they have them or not. Charlotte Hodes switched from drawing to collage and ceramics, when she had kids, whereas Susan Collins, who runs an art school, doesn’t think she could have found a way to reconcile her work with being a mother. Hammam, who hails from Cairo makes the most explicit political work, digitally situating subjects from recent news stories into stylized settings.

Ritu is sophisticated and well-educated, with a successful career in Mumbai, but she agrees to marry under pressure from her mother Seema. Amrita enjoys a freewheeling lifestyle in Delhi but consents to wed—in spite of the fact that the match will force her to move to a remote area—because her intended will allow her to continue to work outside the home. Thirty-year-old Dipti, on the other hand, is desperate to find a husband, working with her parents to locate a plausible candidate through all available means—scouring newspaper advertisements and attending events where men present themselves for interviews. After numerous failed attempts leave her in a state of virtual depression, she does succeed.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Suitable Girl\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003edetails the peculiarities involved in selecting a mate—including the comparison of horoscopes to assess compatibility—and emphasizes the fact that financial considerations factor heavily in negotiations (all three women come from reasonably well-to-do families). But the overall emphasis here is on the human costs that traditional marriages continue to have on Indian women, since most will assume a subservient place in the husband’s family, losing whatever freedom they had previously enjoyed. So despite the festive appearance of the wedding scenes at the close, all carry a somber undertone.

The film follows activist Mark Angelo as he visits various countries–India, China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and locales in Africa–where tanneries and textile factories use toxic chemicals in garment production and pour the waste into rivers, resulting in severe pollution. Angelo talks with owners and workers who usually deny that processes they employ are doing ecological damnage, although the visual evidence indicates otherwise, as do witnesses who testify to the harmful impact that the pollutants have had on nearby residents, including children. Riverblue also includes interviews with some designers who were instrumental in concocting the chemical cocktails used in producing the clothing (and now regret the result), researchers who are devising safer (if more expensive) means of achieving the same effects and supporters of a Greenpeace campaign to detoxify polluted rivers. The question the film inevitably raises is whether consumers will be willing to spend more for clothes in order to protect the environment–laying down a challenge to viewers to join a crusade to save the planet.

The youngest of seven children, Rahman (born in the 1930s) was always fascinated by art.

Today, no longer able to draw, Rahman wants other artists to step forward and work with kantha.

The previous film’s hero, Bruno Manser, a Swiss activist dedicated to saving the old-growth forests from uncontrolled logging and corporate natural-resource exploitation, disappeared in the Sarawak jungle in 2000, almost certainly murdered. His native partner-in-activism, Mutang Urud, lives in exile in Canada, and Borneo’s land continues to be plundered by multinationals, which also personally enriches the vast private fortune of longtime Chief Minister of the State Abdul Taib Mahmud, a champion of “modernization.” But faraway London-based grassroots activists, using the Internet and radio, bombard the people of Borneo with news and messages of resistance, and even Mahmud’s old American business partner turns informer. Eventually, the good-guy Davids triumph over the seeming Goliath of a dictator-for-life and powerful financial interests in this inspiring story of “people power” fueling an eco-victory and non-violently undermining a dirty regime.

An estimated 2 percent of the US population carry the diagnosis, 80 percent of these people attempt suicide, and 10 percent succeed.

The director includes a multitude of interviews from those who also suffer from BPD, tackling these individuals’ poignant thoughts of suicide, drug abuse, and their self-perspective of how and why they feel the way they do… In addition, Ratner brings in some of the leading clinical physicians in the field; Dr. John Gunderson of the Harvard McLean Hospital and Dr. Marsha Linehan, Director of the Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics at Washington University. The latter is also a sufferer of BPD herself, which lends an interesting viewpoint to the film. These stylistic interviews are interwoven with Regina’s personal tale of woe and recovery… This film will be a strong addition to any academic library, especially one with a strong health science, mental health, or social work background.

He attempts to block boats headed to the ice caps to drill for oil, to stop the delivery of coal to power plants, even stands in front of gas stations with signs declaring them to be evil. His actions land him in jail on more than one occasion, with one especially significant event resulting in a felony charge and a criminal trial. Climate change can be an uncomfortable topic to discuss, regardless of your personal feelings on the issue. Scientific data, some of which is included in the film, continually substantiates the claim that climate change is happening and human actions are a contributing factor. Yet, many feel helpless when it comes to stopping it. Ward and the film show how one person can act. Overall this film is recommended. It creates an urgency for the viewer, for a crisis that may impact all of humankind, if not dealt with properly. The film is deeply personal, passionate, and could very well be inspiring to many. Recommended.\" \u003cem\u003e- Educational Media Reviews Online, Erin Rowley, University at Buffalo Libraries\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"RECOMMENDED\" - \u003cem\u003eVideo Librarian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eThe Reluctant Radical is the most striking environmental documentary I’ve seen to date—and I have seen plenty. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s4\"\u003eIt is an absolute must-see.” \u003cem\u003e- \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eD.

Fatou Diatta, aka Sister Fa, uses hip-hop to shed light on the cultural practice of female genital mutilation. On a radio show, she explains that she moved from Dakar to Berlin to be with her Austrian husband, but her travel schedule contributes to their separation during the film. Panmela Castro, a graffiti artist in Rio de Janeiro, describes Brazilian street culture as a macho scene, but she has earned the respect of her male compatriots, bringing other women along with her. Panmela’s independence stands in stark contrast to a past dominated by domestic abuse, but since Brazil had not yet enacted domestic violence legislation, her ex-husband never faced any legal ramifications. Sohini Chakraborty, a dance movement therapist in Kolkata, believes that dance can prove helpful to victims of sexual abuse. Over the past 10 years, she has trained five students to become instructors themselves. Anna Taylor, who founded the clothing company Judith \u0026amp; James, works exclusively with seamstresses in Nairobi. Although she hails from Little Rock, AR, she spent much of her youth in Kenya, inspiring her to create job opportunities for women in the area. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, executive director of United Nations Women, believes that art is an empowering mechanism, because it is universal. While the profiled women have had to make personal sacrifices during their careers, they have all found ways to help other women through their art.

But now, against all odds, in the empty lots, in the old factory yards, and the sad, sagging blocks of company housing, seeds of change are taking root. With the most vacant lots in the country, citizens are reclaiming their spirits by growing food. Dedicated citizens have started an urban environmental movement that is transforming not just a city after its collapse, but also America at the end of its industrial age. Urban Roots shows dedicated Detroiters working tirelessly to fulfill their vision for locally-grown, sustainably farmed food in a city where people – as in much of the county – have found themselves cut off from real food and limited to the lifeless offerings of fast food chains, mini-marts, and grocery stores stocked with processed food from thousands of miles away. The people of Detroit have taken on the enormous task of changing this for themselves, and to understand their story is to understand how we can change it for us all. Urban Roots is a story that reveals that the best in us can prevail in the most difficult of times; and in the most difficult of places, new hope emerges.  This growing movement of urban farmers is changing the way people think about food—and life in the “D”. It took men like Henry Ford, William Durant, and Lee Iacocca to build this city, but it’s taken a bunch of strong willed self-taught urban farmers to save it.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/Urban-Roots-Shep-fnl_large.jpg?v=1533834404\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShepard Fairey designed \"Urban Roots\" Print which promoted farm programs in schools during and after the film's release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSELECTED SCREENINGS \u0026amp; EVENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOfficial Selection Reykjavik International Film Festival (RIFF) World Premier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection Eco Focus Film Festival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection Planet in Focus Film Festival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection Imagesante Film Festival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection San Francisco Green Film Festival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection One World Film Festival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection Food for Thought Film Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOfficial Selection Dig In!

The crisis is exemplified in a most alarming manner by the epidemic “bleaching” of Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef, where even subtle rises in temperatures have wreaked havoc on sensitive algae that coexists in symbiosis with coral-building animals. Pollution and overfishing also endanger reef communities, although some of the economic victims of reef die-offs cited here are the tribal fishermen of the tropics, who have lived for generations off the bounties of reefs that are now deserted by fish. Among the solutions suggested are training indigenous shoreline people in ecology and healthy sustainable practices, and propagating corals from special reefs (there are a few) that have somehow naturally evolved resistance to all the toxins that humanity produces. Still, despite these few glimmers of optimism, a melancholy sense hangs over this film that a jewel of the oceans is being lost, perhaps irrevocably. Offering a powerful environmental wake-up call, this is recommended.\" - \u003cem\u003eC.

But what if that moment finds you in prison, apart from your children, home, and freedom? That’s the big question at the heart of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe If Project\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a documentary about a writing program for prisoners at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. Co-founded by two women at opposite ends of the criminal justice system—a Seattle police officer named Kim Bogucki and third-time offender and former cop hater Renata Abramson—the program is intended to slow or even stop cycles of dysfunction and lawlessness. The incarcerated women are asked, among other things, what one message might someone have told you that would have kept you from committing a crime? Answering that question on paper turns out to be a profound experience for many of the women here, some sobbing with self-awareness and deep regret. Further writing assignments focus on confessions, or the joys of simple things that are missed. For Bogucki, the point of all this is to understand better the forces that drive women onto a path that ends in imprisonment. For Abramson, the project—which is about a decade old now—has been transformative. Filmmaker Kathlyn Horan’s fly-on-the-wall, discreet presence with a camera captures something rare here: the look and sound of real vulnerability and courage in a world where survival is a challenge.

Six million displaced people. The biggest humanitarian emergency of our time. The Syrian refugee crisis remains at the forefront of the global consciousness: as statistics, as photographs, as a bargaining chip in international politics. But inside the camps real people settle in to a life in limbo. Watan (Homeland) explores two of the biggest refugee camps in Jordan - Zaatari and Azraq - along with neighbouring city Jerash, to paint intimate portraits of the men, women and children who have found themselves there. Through observation of daily life, Watan builds a simple yet powerful series of interwoven stories that go beyond the statistics to find the human heart of the refugee crisis.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are stories of sadness, fear, beauty and surprises: from a young woman raising a family that is not hers, to a seventeen-year-old concreter, an all-women's filmmaking class, a boy who finds meaning through football, and more. Watan seeks to inspire action through connection, empathy and recognition, in a way that allows these people to speak for themselves. It shines a much-needed light on the human stories at the centre of the global debate of immigration and asylum, giving a voice to the Syrian refugees in Jordan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Selected Screenings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2018 Impact Doc Award - Feature Documentary Merit Award\u003cbr\u003eFeatured as part of Refugee Council of Australia's Refugee Week \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Filmmakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames L Brown \u0026amp; Bill Irving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eJames L Brown ACS  and Bill Irving are a creative team based in Australia.

Dhongya, chief herder of the clan, mourns the transformation of much of the once-lush grassland into desert since rainfall has decreased, while new laws restrict the family to a relatively small pasture, making their migratory lifestyle impossible. Following the family as they set up their tents for the season, Su concentrates not merely on the men who oversee the animals, but also the children who play in the fields, and the women who must constantly tend to the housework—including Yithan, who worries about the future of her two sons; Magyuk, whose sons have departed for work elsewhere and whose daughter Asu yearns to abandon the nomadic life; and Tamku, a divorced teenager with a child. \u003cem\u003eDrokpa \u003c\/em\u003epresents an informative and affecting portrait of a tribe whose way of life is being rendered untenable by forces that they barely understand and cannot resist. At the same time, it also underscores an ecological problem with wider ramifications since the plateau where nomads have labored for centuries also serves as the source of water that fills many of Asia’s rivers. Presented in both the full-length version and a 57-minute abridgement, this is recommended. Aud: C, P. (\u003cem\u003eF.

Homes have been upgraded, new businesses have brought fresh life to the economy, and younger residents have enlivened neighborhoods and burnished Portland’s reputation for artistic, quirky lifestyles. Unfortunately, gentrification has also brought rent increases, alienation, and the destruction of established black communities like Albina. Filmmaker Cornelius Swart’s documentary notes that Portland has long struggled with its history of racism, from early “black exclusion” edicts to making location plans for urban renewal projects, sports stadiums, and superhighways at the expense of black neighborhoods (urban decay has also been a factor). Oregon is a landlord-friendly state that allows no-cause evictions and bans rent controls. Drugs, eminent domain, and red-lining practices have all worsened the problem, while residents in other neighborhoods oppose subsidized rentals as a threat to their home values. The film follows the plight of Nikki Williams, who once welcomed gentrification, but now feels alone and unwelcome in the area that she grew up in. Some black residents drive their children long distances to traditionally black schools, and others adjust, while Williams, feeling that “my skin is my sin,” finally moves to Texas. To its credit, Portland is trying to make amends, sponsoring “right to return” legislation aimed at drawing low-income former residents back to areas like Albina. Of course, this urban scenario is hardly limited to Portland, and this documentary could help spur fruitful discussion. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (S.

The enemy is invisible, and neither women nor children have a safe hideout. 36-year-old Iraqi Nori Sharif, is husband, father of four children, and a nurse. He becomes a videographer, documenting life over several years in one of Iraq’s most dangerous provinces: Diyala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following Nori we take part in his daily life. We are with him as another war erupts after the American retreat in 2011; a new war without fronts, uniforms or common rules. Without choosing sides, Nori records destruction as well as hope from this war zone. But it is the beginning of the end. The film stretches over a period of five years, beginning with the hope of a better future, to witnessing the growth of ISIS (the Islamic State), and eventually the fall of Nori’s home town. As Nori keeps filming throughout this period of time, he begins to turn the camera on himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNori’s narrative represents persistence, hope and faith. But, in this new reality of being squeezed between two giant forces – ISIS on one side and the Iraqi militias on the other, is it possible to remain impartial and keep his family intact?

But in 2006-8 there was a change in character; ethnic sectarianism flared up and the violence became increasingly unpredictable and random. Families, tribes and communities were divided, and it became difficult to distinguish friend from foe. How can one give a truthful picture of this state of war when the areas are forbidden “no-go”-zones, and the survivors are without a voice?

Interweaving the personal and the political, the film is anchored in the filmmaker’s relationship to her mom, a gardener and food activist who battled cancer during the film's production. Their intimate mother-daughter quest for answers, fuelled by a shared love of food, reveals the extent to which the agribusiness industry controls our food policies, making a strong case for a more transparent and sustainable food system.

The last thing Giroux wanted to do was dwell on thorny issues concerning genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the dominant role that they now play in our food production. It is enough, she thought, for people to take charge of their own food, confidently choosing reliable sources for health and happiness in the kitchen—just as her mother did. But Giroux soon found there was no way around a discussion of GMOs and how most consumers reluctantly buy biotechnology-tweaked food products. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eModified\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explores the ways in which farmers are backed into growing and harvesting herbicide-resistant crops from GMO seeds and why organic farmers trying to grow food from heritage seeds are nevertheless finding GMO crops in their fields. The United States and Canada do not require food labels to list the presence of GMOs (64 other countries do). The fact that American politicians are more interested in protecting Monsanto’s profits than promoting consumers’ right to know the facts is always an infuriating theme, but Giroux adds her strong voice to others who are also fighting over this highly controversial issue. Extras include cooking videos featuring recipes from the film.
