ABNORMALPSYCHOLOGYONE ALCOHOLIC TOANOTHER: DEMYSTIFYINGAAHow did Alcoholics Anonymous begin?What influences shaped it into theworldwide, support-focused organization itis today? And what goes on inside atypical AA meeting? This program followsa quest for answers undertaken by twofilmmakers—Orly Yadin, an Israeli-bornanimator and archival film specialist whoquestions the idea of genetic alcoholism,and Eleanor Lanahan, a documentarianwhose family tree suggests a differentperspective (she's the granddaughter of F.Scott Fitzgerald).

Aconcerned young Japanese woman asksher husband if he has ever been happy.Peppy actors in lab coats reassure theaudience that depression is like "a cold ofthe soul."These are scenes from some of the manypharmaceutical ads that pepper BrandingIllness, an eye-opening documentaryabout how big drug <strong>com</strong>panies creatediseases and then supply the medicationsthat can cure them.It's a reversal of the traditional approach -trying to discover a drug that cures anillness - and one that relies far moreheavily on marketing than on research.The film offers case after startling case ofhow big pharma creates the conversationaround new diseases and then offers upthe solutions. Take pre-menstrualdysphoric disease. It appeared right aboutthe time the patent on Prozac was about toexpire, representing a significant loss ofin<strong>com</strong>e. Enter PMDD. Prozacmanufacturer Eli Lilly rebranded the drug,changed its colour, jacked up the price,and had a potentially profitable newmedication to sell as a treatment for adisease few had ever heard of before.Featuring at times acerbic <strong>com</strong>mentaryfrom experts including physicians,historians and medical anthropologists(among them maverick academic DavidHealy), Branding Illness offersunprecedented insight into the waysillnesses and their potential cures aremarketed. No claim seems too outrageous- whether it's convincing the Japanesethey have widespread depression, urgingmillions of healthy adults they needmedication to lower their cholesterol, oreven proposing that all adults over 50 takea "poly-pill" to lower their risk of <strong>com</strong>mondiseases.In one particularly striking segment, amember of the Dutch Institute for RationalUse of Medicine recounts how her grouppretended to represent a pharmaceutical<strong>com</strong>pany and created a fake awarenesscampaign for a drug to treat excessiveflatulence. Their brochures werewel<strong>com</strong>ed in doctors' offices, their postershung in medical centres, and televisionnews reported on the "problem" and thetreatment available.The Internet is supposed to make medicalinformation more accessible, but as thefilm points out, it's very hard to know whois behind the information users find. Aseemingly innocuous awarenesscampaign could be part of an expensivePR effort. Antoine Vial of the FrenchHealth Regulatory Agency puts acampaign for ankylosing spondylitis underthe microscope, and finds that what itdoesn't say may be more revealing thanwhat it does.And if it's hard for consumers to getaccess to objective opinions, it's no easierfor independent-minded academics.Medical anthropologist Kalman Applbaumsays 80% of clinical trials and 97% of themost influential clinical trials are<strong>com</strong>mercially funded.Even science has be<strong>com</strong>e a tool toadvance the sales of drugs.Item no. : PK03100743Format : DVD (Color)Duration : 52 minutesCopyright : 2010Price : USD 390.00AFRICAANATSUI AT WORK: EIGHTSHORTS FOR MUSEUMSAND CLASSROOMSDirected by Susan VogelA swift instructive look at the artistdemonstrating his process, and discussinghis theories.

DELICIOUS PEACE GROWSIN A UGANDAN COFFEEBEANBy Curt Fissel and Ellen FriedlandNarrated by Ed O'NeillIn a nation once plagued by Idi Amin'sreign of terror and intolerance, Christian,Jewish, and Muslim Ugandan coffeefarmers have <strong>com</strong>e together to challengehistorical prejudice and economic hurdlesby forming the "Delicious Peace CoffeeCooperative."The cooperative has be<strong>com</strong>e a model forothers, demonstrating how theinterweaving of harmonious relationshipswith Fair Trade practices can substantiallyimprove the lives of people who areeconomically challenged. In DeliciousPeace, the Ugandan farmers opened theirlives to the filmmakers for an intimate lookat the struggles they face, the hopes theyharbor, and the successes they havefound.Many lives in the world revolve around thecoffee bean, the second-most traded<strong>com</strong>modity in the world. But coffee farmersface many challenges, from low prices onworldwide markets, to exploitativeintermediaries and government policiesthat make exports difficult.In 2003, a Jewish coffee farmer in a regionof Uganda that has long produced some ofthe highest quality coffee in the worldapproached his Christian and Muslimneighbors and asked that they put asidetheir religious differences, as well as theirpessimism about growing coffee, to createa new cooperative. Calling their brand"Mirembe Kawomera" ("Delicious Peace"),they partnered with an American FairTrade buyer to bring this organic andkosher coffee to the U.S. market.Today, as a result of good wages throughFair Trade, the farmers' standard of livingis improving, harmony is flourishing, andtheir message of peace and fair wages isspreading to their neighbors, as well astheir coffee customers in the US.Reviews "Delicious Peace is a colorful andupbeat film that affords me an easyentry into discussion of some of themost difficult issues in social science:race, religion, inequality, anddevelopment. And it leaves studentswith a sense of agency andpossibility–that regular people canmake the world better, even in difficultcircumstances. It's a gift to offerstudents a story of hope told witheyes wide open." - David S. Meyer,Prof. of Sociology and PoliticalScience, University of California,Irvine"Delicious Peace is, well... delicious!This documentary was a huge hit atDrew University where faculty, staffand students are engaged indevelopment projects around theworld. Delicious Peace is bothinformative and inspiring; thescreening at Drew packed the house,and we spent a long time afterwarddiscussing the film over Mirembecoffee." - Jonathan Golden, AssistantProf. of Religious Studies, DrewUniversity"The film superbly rendered thestory." - Walter Ruby, Muslim-JewishRelations Program Officer, TheFoundation for Ethnic UnderstandingAwards Best Short Doc, <strong>New</strong> Jersey FilmFestival Redemptive Storyteller Award,Redemptive Film Festival Best Documentary, Bronzeville FilmFestival Best Spiritual/Faith Documentary, FortMyers Film FestivalItem no. : EA01920130Format : DVD (Closed Captioned)Duration : 40 minutesAudience : Grades 7 - AdultPrice : USD 175.00RFK IN THE LAND OFAPARTHEID: A RIPPLE OFHOPEDirected by Larry Shore & Tami GoldFeaturing never before seen archivalfootage, and interviews in South Africaand the United States, filmmakers LarryShore and Tami Gold tell the little-knownstory of Senator Robert Kennedy'sinfluential June 1966 visit to South Africaduring the worst years of Apartheid. Thefilm is a unique portrait of SenatorKennedy in action at an important momentin American and South African history. Thefilmmakers explore the visit through thesights and sounds of present day SouthAfrica.Robert Kennedy's visit gave opponents ofApartheid -- both black and white -- hopeand courage to challenge the Apartheidsystem at a time when they felt isolatedand few in the outside world knew whatwas happening in South Africa. His visitalso highlighted the parallels in the fightagainst racism in South Africa and in theUnited States, where Martin Luther KingJr., had linked the struggle for Civil Rightswith the fight against Apartheid.RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEIDfollows Kennedy in South Africa during thefive-day visit, including his famous "Day ofAffirmation" speech at the University ofCape Town on June 6, 1966. The speechis generally considered to be the greatestspeech of Robert Kennedy's career. Oneparagraph, featuring the "ripple of hope",is among the most quoted in Americanpolitics and appears on Kennedy'sgravesite at Arlington National Cemetery:"It is from numberless diverse acts ofcourage and belief that human history isshaped. Each time a man stands up for anideal, or acts to improve the lot of others,or strikes out against injustice, he sendsforth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossingeach other from a million different centersof energy and daring those ripples build acurrent which can sweep down themightiest walls of oppression andresistance."Another high point of the film is Kennedy'smeeting with one of the unknown giants ofSouth African and African history – thebanned President of the African NationalCongress and Nobel Peace Prize winner,Chief Albert Luthuli, who was living underhouse arrest in a remote rural area. Thefilm travels with RFK to Soweto, thelargest black township, where he meetsthousands of people and gives voice toChief Luthuli's call for a free South AfricaThe film includes interviews with thosethat ac<strong>com</strong>panied or met with Kennedy onhis trip, as well as with Edward Kennedy,and an original soundtrack by Americanmusician Jason Moran.Robert Kennedy's actions and words inSouth Africa were important at the time forone other reason – he publicly challengedthe dominant Cold War ideology thatanti-Communism should be the only basisfor determining American foreign policy,even if it meant supporting repressiveregimes. Kennedy demonstrated how itwas possible to promote human rights anddemocracy in an undemocratic society,while engaging in an honest discourse onAmerica's own historical problems andsuccesses.RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID tellsan important story that is relevant to theongoing struggles for democracy, justiceand human rights around the world today.Reviews "Marvelous…Fascinating." - BostonGlobeFor at a time when an estimated 80% of6________________________________________________________________________________________________________Learning Rendezvous LimitedEmail: inquiry@learningemall.<strong>com</strong> Websites: http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong> & http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong>.hk"A remarkable gem.

Flaherty is one of the greatname directors in the history of cinemaand to this day films such as "Nanook ofthe North", "Moana", "Man of Aran" and"Louisiana Story" are widely regarded asclassics and still regularly screened.Flaherty is also a controversial figure inthat he was also the first to show thatfilming the everyday life of real peoplecould be molded into dramatic,entertaining narratives.

Especially since socialmedia has be<strong>com</strong>e as pervasive as ever,posing potential risks to an organization'sbottom line.

What we discover is arevolution-in-waiting already simmeringunder the surface of Egyptian society.Over several weeks, the documentarycrew travels the country - from Cairo, toAlexandria, to the industrial city ofEl-Mahalla El-Kubra - introducing us toactivists, politicians, and ordinaryEgyptians. Activist Mahitab el Gilani walksthrough a market at night, urging people tosign a petition calling for the end of Egypt'sdraconian Emergency Law and for freeelections. "If this conversation is broadcaston TV, we'll all be arrested," one womantells her. Later, a man she approachessays he hopes she makes it out of theneighborhood alive.We also meet opposition candidates in themidst of their campaigns - feministGameela Ismail, liberal politician AymanNour (who was sentenced to five years inprison after winning election in 2005) andMuslim Brotherhood members Saad ElHusseini and Hamdi Hassan. They maynot agree on much, but all see endemiccorruption, the repressive Emergency Lawand the lack of political freedom as the keyelements that must change if the Arabworld's largest and most influential countryis to move forward.And while young, web-savvy activists getmuch of the credit for the demonstrations,Goodbye Mubarak! Shows just how deepopposition to the regime ran in the monthsleading up to the revolution. "We only havecorrupt and old leaders with nothing tooffer" says one angry pensioner. Anotheradds that "The solution is in the hands ofour 12 million jobless kids. They need togo out, demonstrate, and overthrow theregime."Within weeks, Mubarak's opponents - ledby many of those we meet in this film -would be doing just that. GoodbyeMubarak!

They tracked down thealleged thieves, then captured andtortured them. Becali was imprisonedbriefly. Soon after his release, he waselected to the European Parliament.Few stories better illustrate contemporaryRomanian economic and political realities:the fluid line between private wealth andpolitical power, and the egos of wealthymen who see their own actions as abovethe law.Becali is one of the rich and powerfulRomanian magnates who have dominatedthe post-Communist Romanian economy,and to whom filmmaker AlexandruSolomon introduces us in his startlingdocumentary Kapitalism: Our SecretRecipe.With the 1989 fall of the Ceausescuregime the future seemed bright. Freedfrom its tyranny, Romanians lookedforward to a capitalist, entrepreneurial agemarked by freedom and a higher standardof living.Twenty years later, Romania has thesmallest GDP of all former Communistcountries, with a third of the economy________________________________________________________________________________________________________Learning Rendezvous LimitedEmail: inquiry@learningemall.<strong>com</strong> Websites: http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong> & http://www.learningemall.<strong>com</strong>.hk55
controlled by a small group of millionaires.Meanwhile, spending on infrastructure hasstagnated: Romania's roads rank 110th inthe world. Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipeseeks to understand how this came topass - how public assets enriched very few,to the detriment of the country.Rather than trying to understand the elitefrom a distance, Solomon sits down withthem and asks them pointed questions.And they are surprisingly forth<strong>com</strong>ing intheir responses.Take Dan Voiculescu, the Vice-Presidentof the Romanian Senate, who leveraged ajob with a state-controlled export <strong>com</strong>panyinto a net worth in the billions. Speaking inhis palatial home, under an oil painting ofhimself, Voiculescu makes no apologies: asmall group of people were in a position toget rich, and they did.Then there's Dinu Patriciu, who bought astate-owned oil refinery valued at 615million Euros for only 50 million Euros -then sold it a few years later for two billion.By its very nature, capitalism in atransitional period is "immoral" he says.Intermingled with the interviews, arewhimsical but effective animatedsequences that use clay, LEGO andPlaymobil to visually highlight key pointsand clearly demonstrate labyrinthinetransactions. In addition to its personalinterviews with the oligarchs, Kapitalismalso depicts them at a distance, ontelevision screens overlooking Bucharest,for instance. Here, they are remote,unapproachable - as most Romanianswould experience them.Ultimately, what Kapitalism suggests isthat not much has changed over the last20 years. The film imagines Ceausescureturning from the dead to tour the countrynow, and finding much to like. "You havemaintained the three pillars of theCommunist Party," this imaginaryCeausescu tells a group of assembledmagnates. "Prejudice.

In 1982, Hafez ruthlesslycrushed an uprising by the MuslimBrotherhood (the film shows us rarephotos of property damage during thebattles - the only record of an otherwiseinvisible massacre by security forces). Incontrast, soon after <strong>com</strong>ing to power in2000, Bashar ushered in the DamascusSpring - a flowering of dissent andopenness. But when it seemed to threatenhis rule, he banned all opposition andtightened his family's grip on the reins ofwealth and power.Syria: the Assads' Twilight, recounts thehistory of the regime and the region -including the tortured and troubled historyof Syrian involvement in Lebanon. The filmuses archival footage, as well as thetestimony and analysis of members of theUS and Israeli security establishment, keypoliticians, dissidents (among themmembers of the banned MuslimBrotherhood) and political scientists.What emerges is a picture of a regime thathas been at the centre of Middle Eastpolitics for two generations - but is now onthe verge of being swept away, along withother corrupt dictatorships in the region.As exiled dissident Abdel Hamid Atassisays, "Bashar cannot repress dissent inthe Internet era...

The cemetery mascots, EINegro y La Negra, chase his truck downthe road and greet him with wagging tails.The sound of construction fades away asthe daytime workers leave and Martin isleft alone, looking out over the skyline ofmausoleums where Mexico's mostnotorious drug lords lie at rest. Crossesand steel construction bars pierce thepurple and pink sky. As night descendsluxurious cars fill the dirt roads. Mercedes,a sexy young widow, arrives with her littlegirl in a pristine white Audi. A portrait of herhusband, a corrupt policeman holding amachine gun, watches over them as theysweep and mop the shiny marble floors.The coconut vendor's radio blasts a gorylist of the day's murders: "Culiacan hasbe<strong>com</strong>e a war zone." The buzz of cicadasfills the air with anticipation. ThroughMartin's vigilant eyes we watch time passin this place where time stands still.A portrait of the daily life of the cemeteryallows us to see the intersection betweenthose who make a living there and thosewho rest there—innocent or guilty.

A worker covets theluxuries his wages will never afford him ashe hangs a chandelier. The women looktoo young to be widows; the children playhopscotch on tombs the way others play insandboxes and on jungle gyms. The codeof silence makes conversation dangerous.The word "narco' is forbidden. Theteetering scaffolding, the rotting woodenladder, the photograph of a man who diedat 23: life is precarious for everyone withbusiness here.EL VELADOR lingers at the threshold ofviolence. By refusing to show the graphicimages that the press feverishlydisseminates Almada asks us to dwell inthe moment when violence has just left itsmark and when violence is imminent.

Once therepository is full, in about 100 years, it willbe closed and hopefully remain sealed forat least 100,000 years.Into Eternity takes viewers deep into theOnkalo facility as it is being constructedand asks Onkalo representatives,scientists, theologians and others toaddress fundamental but challengingquestions.How can our civilization know what theworld will be like in 100,000 years? Thefirst modern homo sapiens appearedabout that long ago and no humanstructure has survived more than 5000years. How can we anticipate climate andgeologic changes that far in the future?What will life on our planet be like then?How do we warn distant generations of thedeadly waste our civilization left behind?What languages or signs will theyunderstand? How do we prevent themfrom thinking they have located thepyramids of our time or some othertreasures?With its stark, stylistic approach, IntoEternity not only raises questions aboutthe possibility of long-term nuclear wastestorage, but also invites reflection on thelimits of science and human knowledge,along with our responsibility to futuregenerations.Reviews "CRITICS' PICK.

His storyis lovingly told by his youngest daughter,Nora, with footage from Gregory's ownfilms shot in the 1930s with his wifeMargaret Mead in Bali and <strong>New</strong> Guinea,along with photographs, filmed lectures,and interviews.Gregory Bateson was a man who studiedthe interrelationships of the <strong>com</strong>plexsystems we live in with scientific rigor andenormous integrity. His theories, such as"the double bind" and "the pattern whichconnects", continue to impact the fields ofanthropology, psychiatry, informationscience, cybernetics, urban planning,biology, and ecology, challenging peopleto think in new ways.Through this film, Nora Bateson sets out toshow that his ideas are not just fodder foracademic theory, but can help instruct away of life. She presents his thinking usinga richly personal perspective, focusing onthe stories Bateson used to present hisideas and how the beauty of life itselfprovided the framework of his life'spursuits.Hoping to inspire its audience to see theirlives within a larger system, glistening withsymmetry, play, and metaphor, ANECOLOGY OF MIND is an invitation toask the kinds of questions that could helpthread the world back together from theinside.Review"A brilliant film about a brilliant thinker"- Tyler Volk, Professor of Biology andEnvironmental Studies, <strong>New</strong> YorkUniversityAwards Audience Award, Best DocumentaryFeature, Santa Cruz Film Festival Best Documentary, SpokaneInternational Film Festival John Culkin Award for OutstandingPraxis, Media Ecology AssociationItem no.FormatDurationAudience: GC02560800: DVD: 60 minutes: Grades 9 - 12, College,AdultsCopyright : 2010StdBkNo : 1594589054Price : USD 250.00ECONOMICSKAPITALISM: OUR SECRETETRECIPEBy Alexandru SolomonWhen George Becali's limousine wasstolen in 2009, he didn't call the police.Instead, Becali - one of the wealthiest menin Romania - turned to his personalbodyguards. They tracked down thealleged thieves, then captured andtortured them. Becali was imprisonedbriefly. Soon after his release, he waselected to the European Parliament.Few stories better illustrate contemporaryRomanian economic and political realities:the fluid line between private wealth andpolitical power, and the egos of wealthymen who see their own actions as abovethe law.Becali is one of the rich and powerfulRomanian magnates who have dominatedthe post-Communist Romanian economy,and to whom filmmaker AlexandruSolomon introduces us in his startlingdocumentary Kapitalism: Our SecretRecipe.With the 1989 fall of the Ceausescuregime the future seemed bright. Freedfrom its tyranny, Romanians lookedforward to a capitalist, entrepreneurial agemarked by freedom and a higher standardof living.Twenty years later, Romania has thesmallest GDP of all former Communistcountries, with a third of the economycontrolled by a small group of millionaires.Meanwhile, spending on infrastructure hasstagnated: Romania's roads rank 110th inthe world. Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipeseeks to understand how this came topass - how public assets enriched very few,to the detriment of the country.Rather than trying to understand the elitefrom a distance, Solomon sits down withthem and asks them pointed questions.And they are surprisingly forth<strong>com</strong>ing intheir responses.Take Dan Voiculescu, the Vice-Presidentof the Romanian Senate, who leveraged ainto a net worth in the billions. Speaking inhis palatial home, under an oil painting ofhimself, Voiculescu makes no apologies: asmall group of people were in a position toget rich, and they did.Then there's Dinu Patriciu, who bought astate-owned oil refinery valued at 615million Euros for only 50 million Euros -then sold it a few years later for two billion.By its very nature, capitalism in atransitional period is "immoral" he says.Intermingled with the interviews, arewhimsical but effective animatedsequences that use clay, LEGO andPlaymobil to visually highlight key pointsand clearly demonstrate labyrinthinetransactions. In addition to its personalinterviews with the oligarchs, Kapitalismalso depicts them at a distance, ontelevision screens overlooking Bucharest,for instance. Here, they are remote,unapproachable - as most Romanianswould experience them.Ultimately, what Kapitalism suggests isthat not much has changed over the last20 years. The film imagines Ceausescureturning from the dead to tour the countrynow, and finding much to like.

CO2 makes clear that there will be noeasy answers when it <strong>com</strong>es to solving theclimate crisis.

These drills include sportspecificity to enhance player moraleduring periods of strenuous drills.ConditioningThe goal for athletes is to play at highintensity for extended periods of time.While conditioning is usually only relatedto the aspect of being able to run, youmust be able to prepare athletes to notbe<strong>com</strong>e injured.

(In one key moment, a member ofthe UN agency responsible for settingacceptable daily limits of poisonouschemicals admits that the numbers are"theoretical" and have "nothing to do withthe real world.") The film shows that themain cause of the epidemic isenvironmental: it is the result of the100,000 chemical molecules that haveinvaded our environment, and primarilyour food, since the end of the SecondWorld War.The film is divided into three distinct, butinterrelated sections, making it ideal forclassroom use. In the first, Robin meetsfarmers suffering horrific healthproblems—such as leukemia, Parkinson's,and brain lesions—linked to pesticidepoisoning, and looks into the effects thosesame pesticides have on people eatingfruits and vegetables.Robin then moves on to the brokenregulatory regime, using the artificialsweetener Aspartame as a case study. It isa cautionary tale about the revolving doorbetween government and industry, and theinfluence of money on research findings.Finally, OUR DAILY POISON reveals theinadequacies of testing individual<strong>com</strong>pounds in a world where everyonecarries around a cocktail of syntheticchemicals absorbed from food and theenvironment—many of them mimickingthe body's own hormones.OUR DAILY POISON is a smart,well-researched and thoroughly<strong>com</strong>pelling documentary that will reshapethe way you think about everyday productsand the systems that are supposed toensure their safety.

Take pre-menstrualdysphoric disease. It appeared right aboutthe time the patent on Prozac was about toexpire, representing a significant loss ofin<strong>com</strong>e. Enter PMDD.

The film shows that themain cause of the epidemic isenvironmental: it is the result of the100,000 chemical molecules that haveinvaded our environment, and primarilyour food, since the end of the SecondWorld War.The film is divided into three distinct, butinterrelated sections, making it ideal forclassroom use. In the first, Robin meetsfarmers suffering horrific healthproblems—such as leukemia, Parkinson's,and brain lesions—linked to pesticidepoisoning, and looks into the effects thosesame pesticides have on people eatingfruits and vegetables.Robin then moves on to the brokenregulatory regime, using the artificialsweetener Aspartame as a case study. It isa cautionary tale about the revolving doorbetween government and industry, and theinfluence of money on research findings.Finally, OUR DAILY POISON reveals theinadequacies of testing individual<strong>com</strong>pounds in a world where everyonecarries around a cocktail of syntheticchemicals absorbed from food and theenvironment—many of them mimickingthe body's own hormones.OUR DAILY POISON is a smart,well-researched and thoroughly<strong>com</strong>pelling documentary that will reshapethe way you think about everyday productsand the systems that are supposed toensure their safety.

But coffee farmersface many challenges, from low prices onworldwide markets, to exploitativeintermediaries and government policiesthat make exports difficult.In 2003, a Jewish coffee farmer in a regionof Uganda that has long produced some ofthe highest quality coffee in the worldapproached his Christian and Muslimneighbors and asked that they put asidetheir religious differences, as well as theirpessimism about growing coffee, to createa new cooperative. Calling their brand"Mirembe Kawomera" ("Delicious Peace"),they partnered with an American FairTrade buyer to bring this organic andkosher coffee to the U.S. market.Today, as a result of good wages throughFair Trade, the farmers' standard of livingis improving, harmony is flourishing, andtheir message of peace and fair wages isspreading to their neighbors, as well astheir coffee customers in the US.Reviews "Delicious Peace is a colorful andupbeat film that affords me an easyentry into discussion of some of themost difficult issues in social science:race, religion, inequality, anddevelopment. And it leaves studentswith a sense of agency andpossibility–that regular people canmake the world better, even in difficultcircumstances.

Thefilm is a unique portrait of SenatorKennedy in action at an important momentin American and South African history. Thefilmmakers explore the visit through thesights and sounds of present day SouthAfrica.Robert Kennedy's visit gave opponents ofApartheid -- both black and white -- hopeand courage to challenge the Apartheidsystem at a time when they felt isolatedand few in the outside world knew whatwas happening in South Africa. His visitalso highlighted the parallels in the fightagainst racism in South Africa and in theUnited States, where Martin Luther KingJr., had linked the struggle for Civil Rightswith the fight against Apartheid.RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEIDfollows Kennedy in South Africa during thefive-day visit, including his famous "Day ofAffirmation" speech at the University ofCape Town on June 6, 1966. The speechis generally considered to be the greatestspeech of Robert Kennedy's career. Oneparagraph, featuring the "ripple of hope",is among the most quoted in Americanpolitics and appears on Kennedy'sgravesite at Arlington National Cemetery:"It is from numberless diverse acts ofcourage and belief that human history isshaped. Each time a man stands up for anideal, or acts to improve the lot of others,or strikes out against injustice, he sendsforth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossingeach other from a million different centersof energy and daring those ripples build acurrent which can sweep down themightiest walls of oppression andresistance."Another high point of the film is Kennedy'smeeting with one of the unknown giants ofSouth African and African history – thebanned President of the African NationalCongress and Nobel Peace Prize winner,Chief Albert Luthuli, who was living underhouse arrest in a remote rural area. Thefilm travels with RFK to Soweto, thelargest black township, where he meetsthousands of people and gives voice toChief Luthuli's call for a free South AfricaThe film includes interviews with thosethat ac<strong>com</strong>panied or met with Kennedy onhis trip, as well as with Edward Kennedy,and an original soundtrack by Americanmusician Jason Moran.Robert Kennedy's actions and words inSouth Africa were important at the time forone other reason – he publicly challengedthe dominant Cold War ideology thatanti-Communism should be the only basisfor determining American foreign policy,even if it meant supporting repressiveregimes. Kennedy demonstrated how itwas possible to promote human rights anddemocracy in an undemocratic society,while engaging in an honest discourse onAmerica's own historical problems andsuccesses.RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID tellsan important story that is relevant to theongoing struggles for democracy, justiceand human rights around the world today.Reviews "Marvelous…Fascinating." - BostonGlobe"A remarkable gem.

Onkalo is agigantic network of tunnels being carvedout of bedrock that will start receivingFinland's nuclear waste in 2020. Once therepository is full, in about 100 years, it willbe closed and hopefully remain sealed forat least 100,000 years.Into Eternity takes viewers deep into theOnkalo facility as it is being constructedand asks Onkalo representatives,scientists, theologians and others toaddress fundamental but challengingquestions.How can our civilization know what theworld will be like in 100,000 years? Thefirst modern homo sapiens appearedabout that long ago and no humanstructure has survived more than 5000years.

How do we prevent themfrom thinking they have located thepyramids of our time or some othertreasures?With its stark, stylistic approach, IntoEternity not only raises questions aboutthe possibility of long-term nuclear wastestorage, but also invites reflection on thelimits of science and human knowledge,along with our responsibility to futuregenerations.Reviews "CRITICS' PICK.

DRILL 1 - Live 2-on-2: Step one ofbreaking down the 2-2-2. This drilltakes the shooting drill to the nextlevel - having the the high and lowplayers work together as a unit.Focuses on keeping the offensebalanced with proper spacingbetween the two players, setting andusing three types of picks anddodging hard and quick to create alane or a shot. This allows you to workon two spots - the high and low, aswell as defense - on one side of thefield.* DRILL 2 - Live 4-on-4: (PerimeterBalance): The next step in building the2-2-2 is putting the top and bottom playerstogether so each group understands whatthe other is doing when they are attacking.This drill focuses on balancing theperimeter, spacing (opening up) andreading the dodge. Here, you incorporateslides and reads, which forces youroffensive units to adjust accordingly. Also,in a 2-2-2 the passing lanes can be long,so this drill helps the offense close thoselanes to make easier, safer passes.* DRILL 3 - Live 4-on-4 (Inside Crease):Here you start live crease play by addingthe two midfielders to the two attackmen.Working on the two attackmen and theirthree pick options, the two middies focuson sealing their man and popping outside,creating opportunity for the inside (thatmay open up shots for the attackmenbehind). The drill also works on timing,cutting and reading the lanes. DRILL 4 - Survivor Drill: This drillplaces all four corners and the insideplayers together to focus on insideplay. This drill is great at breakingdown inside play and helping theperimeter players find openteammates inside. This also teachesthe inside players where to setthemselves based on ball movementon the outside. Finally, it forces theinside players to handle the ball in"tough" situations, and trains them tomove with a purpose, openingdodging lanes and taking away thedefensive slides.

The TodosSanteros now have cell phones, TV's andlarge cinderblock houses, but are theybetter off?The civil strife of the 1980's ended in theofficial Peace Accord of 1996, but leftmany of the conflict's underlying socialand economic problems unresolved. Anincreasing number of Todos Santos, ratherthan traveling as they had done forgenerations to the coastal cottonplantations, began traveling back and forthto the U.S.—legally or illegally. They sentback cash remittances that those whowere left behind used for householdnecessities, and later for clothes,electronics and other items. Before long,homes similar to those the migrants saw inthe United States and in the luxury resortsof Cancun, Mexico, began springing up inthis traditional Mayan village. As a result,Todos Santos grew and prospered,be<strong>com</strong>ing a <strong>com</strong>mercial hub in thenorthwestern mountains of Guatemala.But the prosperity was not to last. Longterm migration and the economic crisis of2008 in the U.S. has had severerepercussions in this once small mountainvillage.In A BETTER LIFE we meet againSantiaga, the weaver and resourcefulhomemaker, Benito, the former schoolteacher, and Desiderio, the wiseenvironmentalist—all familiar to those whohave seen the Todos Santos trilogy offilms.

Yet due toserious irregularities in the justice andpeace process, many families expresstheir fear that they will never know theones, and that the perpetrators will escapepunishment. In an era where manycountries are tempted to sacrifice justice inthe name of "peace", what happens inColombia will resonate beyond its borders.Review "The Camera Justitia Award is for afilm that deals with serious crimesagainst humanity and the sheerimpossibility of getting justice despiteoverwhelming evidence.

By showing how there's nothingnatural or inevitable about this mentality,and by setting it against the terrible realityof men's violence against women in thereal world, The Bro Code challengesyoung people to step up and fight backagainst the idea that being a real manmeans disrespecting women.Featuring interviews with Michael Kimmel,Robert Jensen, Shira Tarrant, J.W.

thanks to a well-funded coalition ofvirginity-obsessed conservatives bent onvilifying feminism and rolling backwomen's rights.Valenti trains her sights on what she callsthe "virginity movement" -- an unholyalliance of evangelical Christians, politicalactivists, and policy wonks who have beenspreading irrational fears about women'ssexuality to shape government policy,public education, and even popular culturein their own traditionalist image. Andwhether her focus is the explodingpopularity of dad-and-daughter "purityballs," or the millions of dollars Americantaxpayers shell out each year for failedabstinence-only programs, Valenti'sbaseline target is the same: the myth thatthe worth of a woman depends on whatshe does or does not do sexually. In theend, The Purity Myth shows why<strong>com</strong>mercial culture's hypersexualization ofwomen is too serious a problem to be leftto ideologues, arguing that the antidote toour pornified culture is not a set ofreactionary policies that replace one formof sexism with another, but embracingwomen's autonomy and power.Reviews "Fierce and funny… In-your-facefeminism is what Valenti is about." -Antonia Zerbisias | The Toronto Starleaders, actors, directors, and producers,they uncover simultaneous patterns ofgross misrepresentation and grossunder-representation -- revealing a worldin which Latinos appear, if at all, asmurderers and Mexican bandits, harlotsand hookers, gang bangers andwelfare-leeching illegals.

However, whenTopolski tried to upload some rarerecordings of barbershop quartets to apeer-to-peer file sharing website in 2007,he found that his broadband Internetconnection slowed down to a tiny fractionof its usual speed.Topolski, who worked as a <strong>com</strong>puternetwork engineer, ran some tests to findout what was happening and made asurprising discovery -- his internet serviceprovider was monitoring the web use of itscustomers and using software to slowconnections for certain activities andcertain websites. Topolski took his ISP tocourt and has be<strong>com</strong>e a passionatespokesman for net neutrality, believingthat ISP's have no right to interfere withwhat their customers are doing and shouldnot be watching their activities on line.This case is one of the key inspirationsbehind the documentary BARBERSHOPPUNK, which explores how a smallnumber of powerful corporations have thepower to control the World Wide Web, andwhat ordinary people can do to promotethe free exchange of information incyberspace.Item no.FormatDurationAudience: TV01110796: DVD: 77 minutes: Grades 10-12, College,AdultCopyright : 2010StdBkNo : 1594588074Price : USD 295.00WAR YOU DON'T SEE, THETDirected by John PilgerJohn Pilger's powerful and timelyinvestigation into the media's role in war.John Pilger's new film is a powerful andtimely investigation into the media's role inwar.

The directorfeels as though he or she has been livingin a "virtual Tehran" for eight months -watching distressing images from thehomeland and trying to reconstruct thestory of what happened.This unusual process leads to a film withan astounding immediacy. We alternatebetween events in Tehran and the ouranonymous director's attempts to makesense of them - until the two storylinesconverge in early 2010.As the protest movement grows, we areprivy to the immediate experiences ofthose on the ground: women picking uprocks to hand to protesters; peoplesecretly filming police as they beat people,smash cars and target those in windowswho are looking on; marchers <strong>com</strong>ingunder fire from rooftop snipers.Finally, the protests die down, and theforced confessions and show trials begin."My hopes have be<strong>com</strong>e ashes" says thefilm's director. But under those ashes,embers continue to glow.Fragments of a Revolution is not thedefinitive, objective record of the powerfulopposition movement that swept thecountry.

In 1982, Hafez ruthlesslycrushed an uprising by the MuslimBrotherhood (the film shows us rarephotos of property damage during thebattles - the only record of an otherwiseinvisible massacre by security forces). Incontrast, soon after <strong>com</strong>ing to power in2000, Bashar ushered in the DamascusSpring - a flowering of dissent andopenness. But when it seemed to threatenhis rule, he banned all opposition andtightened his family's grip on the reins ofwealth and power.Syria: the Assads' Twilight, recounts thehistory of the regime and the region -including the tortured and troubled historyof Syrian involvement in Lebanon. The filmuses archival footage, as well as thetestimony and analysis of members of theUS and Israeli security establishment, keypoliticians, dissidents (among themmembers of the banned MuslimBrotherhood) and political scientists.What emerges is a picture of a regime thathas been at the centre of Middle Eastpolitics for two generations - but is now onthe verge of being swept away, along withother corrupt dictatorships in the region.As exiled dissident Abdel Hamid Atassisays, "Bashar cannot repress dissent inthe Internet era...

Most of the oil imported<strong>com</strong>es from the Tar Sands of NorthernAlberta, the second largest known oilreserve in the world outside of SaudiArabia.But this is not a traditional oil field. The oilmust be extracted and processed from thesands at a significant environmental cost --requiring huge quantities of a diminishingfresh water supply and large amounts ofenergy that contribute to global warming.White Water, Black Gold follows DavidLavallee on his three-year journey acrossWestern Canada in search of the truthabout the impact of the world's thirstiest oilindustry. This is a journey of jarringcontrasts, from the pristine mountain icefields that are the source of the industry'swater, to the Tar Sands tailing ponds,where thousands of migrating birds haveunwittingly landed and died.Both government and industryspokespeople deny any cause for concern,but in the course of his journey Lavallee,backed by university scientists, makes anumber of discoveries that challenge thatassessment and raise serious concernsfor Canada and the United States.Native peoples living downstream arecontracting unusual cancers; new scienceshows that water resources in an era ofclimate change will be increasingly scarce;the proposed upgrading of the oilfieldscould endanger multiple river systemsacross Canada that makeup about half ofits water supply; and a planned oil pipelineacross British Columbia brings freshthreats to rivers, salmon and the PacificOcean.White Water, Black Gold is a sober look atthe untold costs associated withdeveloping this major oil deposit, andraises important questions about howmuch environmental damage we're willingto tolerate to feed our oil appetite.Review "Highlights the indescribable beautyof the region and how it is beingthreatened by industry andcarelessness." - Earth TimesAward Winner, <strong>2011</strong> John Muir Award,Yosemite Film FestivalItem no.FormatDurationAudience: RM01920137: DVD (Closed Captioned): 64 minutes: Grades 7 - AdultNEGOTIATION6 PRINCIPLES TONEGOTIATE ANYTHINGWith Ed Brodow6 Principles to Negotiate Anything with EdBrodow takes the fear out of negotiatingby teaching participants how to focus onthe pressure that the person across thetable is feeling.Ed Brodow takes the fear out ofnegotiating by teaching participants how tofocus on the pressure that the personacross the table is feeling.

The directorfeels as though he or she has been livingin a "virtual Tehran" for eight months -watching distressing images from thehomeland and trying to reconstruct thestory of what happened.This unusual process leads to a film withan astounding immediacy. We alternatebetween events in Tehran and the ouranonymous director's attempts to makesense of them - until the two storylinesconverge in early 2010.As the protest movement grows, we areprivy to the immediate experiences ofthose on the ground: women picking uprocks to hand to protesters; peoplesecretly filming police as they beat people,smash cars and target those in windowswho are looking on; marchers <strong>com</strong>ingunder fire from rooftop snipers.Finally, the protests die down, and the"My hopes have be<strong>com</strong>e ashes" says thefilm's director. But under those ashes,embers continue to glow.Fragments of a Revolution is not thedefinitive, objective record of the powerfulopposition movement that swept thecountry. But it is a remarkable andimpressionistic inside view of themovement, through the images and wordsof those it most closely affected.Award LOUIS MARCORELLES PRIZE andSpecial mention YOUNG JURYPRIZE at the CINEMA DU REELFESTIVAL - Paris - <strong>2011</strong>Item no. : KD03210806Format : DVD (Color)Duration : 57 minutesCopyright : <strong>2011</strong>Price : USD 348.00GOODBYE MUBARAK!By Katia JarjouraOn January 25, <strong>2011</strong>, the world wascaptivated as thousands of protestersflooded Tahrir Square in Cairo, demandingan end to the regime of President HosniMubarak.But the ground for the protests had beenlaid in the weeks and months precedingthe mass outpouring of opposition.Goodbye Mubarak! takes us to Egyptduring the fall of 2010, in the run-up tolegislative elections. What we discover is arevolution-in-waiting already simmeringunder the surface of Egyptian society.Over several weeks, the documentarycrew travels the country - from Cairo, toAlexandria, to the industrial city ofEl-Mahalla El-Kubra - introducing us toactivists, politicians, and ordinaryEgyptians. Activist Mahitab el Gilani walksthrough a market at night, urging people tosign a petition calling for the end of Egypt'sdraconian Emergency Law and for freeelections. "If this conversation is broadcaston TV, we'll all be arrested," one womantells her. Later, a man she approachessays he hopes she makes it out of theneighborhood alive.We also meet opposition candidates in themidst of their campaigns - feministGameela Ismail, liberal politician AymanNour (who was sentenced to five years inprison after winning election in 2005) andMuslim Brotherhood members Saad ElHusseini and Hamdi Hassan. They maynot agree on much, but all see endemiccorruption, the repressive Emergency Lawand the lack of political freedom as the keyelements that must change if the Arabworld's largest and most influential countryis to move forward.And while young, web-savvy activists getmuch of the credit for the demonstrations,Goodbye Mubarak! Shows just how deepopposition to the regime ran in the monthsleading up to the revolution. "We only havecorrupt and old leaders with nothing tooffer" says one angry pensioner.

They tracked down thealleged thieves, then captured andtortured them. Becali was imprisonedbriefly. Soon after his release, he waselected to the European Parliament.Few stories better illustrate contemporaryRomanian economic and political realities:the fluid line between private wealth andpolitical power, and the egos of wealthymen who see their own actions as abovethe law.Becali is one of the rich and powerfulRomanian magnates who have dominatedthe post-Communist Romanian economy,and to whom filmmaker AlexandruSolomon introduces us in his startlingdocumentary Kapitalism: Our SecretRecipe.With the 1989 fall of the Ceausescuregime the future seemed bright. Freedfrom its tyranny, Romanians lookedforward to a capitalist, entrepreneurial agemarked by freedom and a higher standardof living.Twenty years later, Romania has thesmallest GDP of all former Communistcountries, with a third of the economycontrolled by a small group of millionaires.Meanwhile, spending on infrastructure hasstagnated: Romania's roads rank 110th inthe world. Kapitalism: Our Secret Recipeseeks to understand how this came topass - how public assets enriched very few,to the detriment of the country.Rather than trying to understand the elitefrom a distance, Solomon sits down withthem and asks them pointed questions.And they are surprisingly forth<strong>com</strong>ing intheir responses.Take Dan Voiculescu, the Vice-Presidentof the Romanian Senate, who leveraged ajob with a state-controlled export <strong>com</strong>panyinto a net worth in the billions. Speaking inhis palatial home, under an oil painting ofhimself, Voiculescu makes no apologies: asmall group of people were in a position toget rich, and they did.Then there's Dinu Patriciu, who bought astate-owned oil refinery valued at 615million Euros for only 50 million Euros -then sold it a few years later for two billion.By its very nature, capitalism in atransitional period is "immoral" he says.Intermingled with the interviews, arewhimsical but effective animatedsequences that use clay, LEGO andPlaymobil to visually highlight key pointsand clearly demonstrate labyrinthinetransactions. In addition to its personalinterviews with the oligarchs, Kapitalismalso depicts them at a distance, ontelevision screens overlooking Bucharest,for instance. Here, they are remote,unapproachable - as most Romanianswould experience them.Ultimately, what Kapitalism suggests isthat not much has changed over the last20 years. The film imagines Ceausescureturning from the dead to tour the countrynow, and finding much to like. "You havemaintained the three pillars of theCommunist Party," this imaginaryCeausescu tells a group of assembledmagnates. "Prejudice.

CO2: LIFE AFTERKYOTODirected by Yves BillyHe has expanded through the very air webreathe. He's galvanized activists aroundthe globe to fight him, and stymied theworld's political leaders. Meet Mr. CO2:carbon dioxide, the primary cause ofclimate change.This documentary may use whimsicalanimation to personify carbon dioxideemissions, but its message isdead-serious: if we fail to cut the rate ofCO2 spewing into the atmosphere, weface a bleak future.MR. CO2 opens in Copenhagen, wherethe world's political leaders gather inDecember 2009 to try and hammer out anew carbon treaty to replace the KyotoAccord. Joining them are activists andclimate scientists, on-hand to press foraction. They include Rajendra K. Pachauri,Chair of the International Panel on ClimateChange, and Bill McKibben, founder of amovement aimed at lowering atmosphericcarbon, who says at the conference, "weare past the red line, the real debate isbetween human beings on the one hand,and physics and chemistry on the other."Traveling from the Copenhagennegotiations to China, Australia, and theUnited States, MR. CO2 explores thescope of the challenge. In China we meetRen Runhu, director of the Lu'An Mine,which producers 55 million metric tones ofcoal a year. Even though 5,000 miners diein China's coal mines yearly, the industryis flourishing. In his gleaming office—a farcry from the working conditions of theblack-faced miners—he explains that coalis just too important to Chinese industry.As Ma Jun, founder of China's Institute ofPublic and Environmental Affairs, pointsout, if you need more energy, a new coalplant is the cheapest and simpleestshort-term solution.Meanwhile, the world's richestpeople—North Americans andEuropeans—continue to be responsiblefor staggeringly high per capita emissions.While the developing world—which facesthe most devastation from climatechange—presses for a deal, China andthe United States thwart efforts that mightimpinge on their sovereignty. And littlewonder: the U.S.'s rise to global economicdominance was built through burning fossilfuels, and China hopes to raise 150 millionpeople out of poverty the same way.Neither has much short-term interest inlimiting emissions—and neither docountries like Australia, which export hugeamounts of coal to fuel China'senergy-hungry industries and powerplants.Featuring climate scientists, activists, coalproducers and high-stakes negotiators,MR. CO2 makes clear that there will be noeasy answers when it <strong>com</strong>es to solving theclimate crisis. Clean coal is morepropaganda than reality, and carbonsequestration and storage carry their ownenvironmental risks.It seems that—in the short-term atleast—Mr. CO2 will continue to have abright future indeed.Item no. : FH03210812Format : DVD (Color)Duration : 52 minutesCopyright : 2010Price : USD 298.00SIEGE, THE: LA TOMADirected by Angus Gibson & MiguelSalazarTHE SIEGE follows the story of the day ofthe Siege of the Palace of Justice, andtracks the courtroom drama of ColonelPlazas Vega's trial 25 years later.

Barlow's opponents aregiants in the world of policy andeconomics, they argue that water is nodifferent than any other resource, and thatthe best way to protect freshwater is toprivatize it. It is proposed that Canadabulk-export its water to the United States,imminently.

The directorfeels as though he or she has been livingin a "virtual Tehran" for eight months -watching distressing images from thehomeland and trying to reconstruct thestory of what happened.This unusual process leads to a film withan astounding immediacy. We alternatebetween events in Tehran and the ouranonymous director's attempts to makesense of them - until the two storylinesconverge in early 2010.As the protest movement grows, we areprivy to the immediate experiences ofthose on the ground: women picking uprocks to hand to protesters; peoplesecretly filming police as they beat people,smash cars and target those in windowswho are looking on; marchers <strong>com</strong>ingunder fire from rooftop snipers.Finally, the protests die down, and theforced confessions and show trials begin."My hopes have be<strong>com</strong>e ashes" says thefilm's director. But under those ashes,embers continue to glow.Fragments of a Revolution is not thedefinitive, objective record of the powerfulopposition movement that swept thecountry.

What we discover is arevolution-in-waiting already simmeringunder the surface of Egyptian society.Over several weeks, the documentarycrew travels the country - from Cairo, toAlexandria, to the industrial city ofEl-Mahalla El-Kubra - introducing us toactivists, politicians, and ordinaryEgyptians. Activist Mahitab el Gilani walksthrough a market at night, urging people tosign a petition calling for the end of Egypt'sdraconian Emergency Law and for freeelections. "If this conversation is broadcaston TV, we'll all be arrested," one womantells her. Later, a man she approachessays he hopes she makes it out of theneighborhood alive.We also meet opposition candidates in themidst of their campaigns - feministGameela Ismail, liberal politician AymanNour (who was sentenced to five years inprison after winning election in 2005) andMuslim Brotherhood members Saad ElHusseini and Hamdi Hassan. They maynot agree on much, but all see endemiccorruption, the repressive Emergency Lawand the lack of political freedom as the keyelements that must change if the Arabworld's largest and most influential countryis to move forward.And while young, web-savvy activists getmuch of the credit for the demonstrations,Goodbye Mubarak! Shows just how deepopposition to the regime ran in the monthsleading up to the revolution. "We only havecorrupt and old leaders with nothing tooffer" says one angry pensioner. Anotheradds that "The solution is in the hands ofour 12 million jobless kids. They need togo out, demonstrate, and overthrow theregime."Within weeks, Mubarak's opponents - ledby many of those we meet in this film -would be doing just that. GoodbyeMubarak!

Mercedes,a sexy young widow, arrives with her littlegirl in a pristine white Audi.
