AGAINST AGAINST THE THE THE ODDS
ODDS
A report on young black men fighting to
survive and succeed on America's
meanest inner-city streets, where they
battle almost overwhelming odds: high
rates of murder and drug abuse, a much
greater likelihood of ending up in prison
than in college, rampant unemployment

CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY RISI RISING RISI RISING
NG
Conspiracy theories are everywhere but
how and why do we believe them?
Belief in conspiracy pervades our modern
culture and proliferates in cyberspace with
thousands of sites dedicated to theories
behind the deaths of John F. Kennedy and
Princess Diana, UFOs, Area 51 and 9/11.
CONSPIRACY RISING uses the latest
science and psychology to investigate the
causes of conspiracy theories, why we are
wired to believe them, and how as a
society it is imperative that we separate
the fantasies from the real threats. It
examines the ways that fearful people find
comfort in the order and explanations that
conspiracy theories provide.
Combining remarkable, iconic archival
footage, visits to the sites behind the most
notorious conspiracy theories, and
interviews with both leading conspiracy
theorists and scientific experts,
CONSPIRACY RISING will introduce the
audience to fascinating material,
outlandish claims and supposed "truths"
that have been hidden for decades. All the
while it questions why we choose to
believe… or not.
