(excerpt) "...This documentary reveals Canada's darkest secret - the deliberate extermination of indigenous (Native American) peoples and the theft of their land under the guise of religion. This never before told history as seen through the eyes of this former minister (Kevin Annett) who blew the whistle on his own church, after he learned of thousands of murders in its Indian Residential Schools..."

In this lecture, author, scholar, and activist Andrea Smith of INCITE! Women of Color against Violence discussed sexual violence in American Indian communities and the role of sexual violence in genocide. Smith argues that sexual violence is an inherent part of the colonial project. She also asserts that sexual violence--as a weapon of both patriarchy and colonialism--must be approached from an anti-colonial perspective. Finally, she shares her thoughts on organizing against sexual violence and argues for a "mass movement" against sexual violence that exists outside of current non-profit structures.

Monsters Trampling Our Constitution: Civil Liberties and the Erosion of Our Basic Freedoms
In November of 2003 thousands of protesters came to Miami to protest the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA). This important Indy media film documents police harassment, provocation, brutality and repression that was coordinated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Martial Law was declared in downtown Miami in November of 2003, allegedly to provide security for the FTAA Economic Summit. Rubber bullets, electric guns, pepper spray, and tazers, concussion grenades were used on peaceful civilian protesters who were merely handing out flyers and voicing their opinions about the FTAA. Blatant and unashamed police brutality is caught on film.
The US Federal government granted the State of Florida $8.5 million dollars from the $87 billion allotted to Congress to fight the "War on Terror," in order to provide "security" for the FTAA summit. Tazers and "non-lethal" weaponry were pilot tested on peaceful protesters at this event with little to no instruction on proper handling of the equipment or restrictions on use. This film serves as an example of how the so-called war on terror is nothing more than a war on the first amendment, the fourth amendment and the right of the American citizenry to peaceably assemble to express dissent.

Monsters in Our Food: Genetically Engineering and the Corporatization of Food
This 2006 documentary by Deborah Koons Garcia is an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. It will change the way you think about food by answering the question, how has our food changed? It uncovers the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system.
The documentary explains the ethical, environmental and political implications of genetically engineered food, patenting and the corporatization of food. It empowers consumers to understand the consequences of genetically engineered food in language the average person can understand.
If you live in the United States, you have probably consumed genetically modified food.
The documentary reveals why even though 90% of the U.S. population wants genetically engineered food labeled, it’s not labeled and explores how Californians were able to pass "measure H" which bans the planting of GMO crops. The documentary explores how farmers are removed from the land and the soil and how generations of wisdom is lost. The documentary shows how everything goes wrong once you start believing that life is a machine.
Traditional people had very specific protocol about the taking of animals for food. When you watch this, think about whether you want to consume an animal that lived its life in misery, was tortured and brutalized before it was killed with cruelty. Do you want to put that evil into your body?
On March 11 a new documentary was aired on French television - a documentary that most Americans will ever see. The gigantic bio-tech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years.
Is it your own fault you’re fat? Peter Jennings reports on why it is not that simple. The film explains how the government and the food industry help to make you fat. It reveals that the processed food industry and the government both know what is really happening, yet together, they are making a bad situation worse.
The film emphasizes the need to see how abundance has become its enemy.
How and what we eat has radically changed over the past few decades with the all-consuming rise of the supermarket. But what price are we paying for the homogenized, cheap and convenient food that supermarkets specialize in? In a two-part program, journalist Jane Moore investigates how supermarkets have affected the food on our plates and reveals the tell-tale signs that the food we buy may not have been grown in the way we think. Using a combination of undercover filming and scientific analysis, Supermarket Secrets investigates whether the food on supermarket shelves is really as good as it looks, whether prices are as good as they seem and what happens behind the scenes in the production of supermarket food. This documentary is in two parts. This first part deals with Factory Farming, chickens, and general quality of supermarket food. The second part deals with Cow’s milk, food standards, food waste, pesticides, food globalization, and loss of quality of our produce.
25% of all Hollywood movies demean Arabs and contain gratuitous slurs. This documentary examines how stereotypes about Arabs keep us from seeing the Arab humanity and manipulate us to believe that Arabs are not like us and deserve to die. When stereotypes become widespread, they become invisible to people. It also demonstrates how the movies follow Washington’s policies and produce propaganda used to justify the slaughter of women and children. The narrator explains why we have to take a stand to say that it is morally and ethically wrong to demonize a people.
