Death on a Friendly Border

The border that runs between Tijuana and San Diego is the most heavily militarized border between "friendly" countries anywhere in the world. Since 1994 when the U.S. instituted Operation Gatekeeper, an average of one person a day has died crossing into the U.S. The policy has been condemned by the UN Commissioner of Human Rights, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. This poignant film puts a human face on a tragedy that occurs daily. First we visit a small village in Oaxaca where more than half the men have emigrated to the United States to send money home. From here we follow the story of one young woman who made the journey to follow her husband, but died of dehydration in the desert. Then the film goes to Tijuana where thousands of people have desperately attempted the crossing, only to be thrown back. We learn of the hardships imposed by heat and thirst and abusive border guards. Finally, we hear first hand from a border guard, a human rights activist, and a citizen who actually goes into the desert each weekend to provide water for the fugitives. This is a memorable portrait of people who risk everything to come to "the land of plenty" --- and often lose this gamble. College Adult

The Cold War turned hot in the middle of the 20th Century. In 1950 the North Korean army launched an invasion on their countrymen in the South; signaling the beginning of the Korean War. The Soviet Union would support North Korea's Stalinist regime, while the US and its allies rallied behind the South, in an attempt to hold off the Red Threat. Millions of civilians would be killed or injured during the conflict, and cities would be destroyed. The war would reinforce the separation between communism and capitalism ideologies, and Korea, formally united, would remain divided for generations to come.

Aggravated by the influx of undocumented immigrants and fed up with the lack of government involvement, the Minutemen positioned themselves along the US/Mexico border. Armed, energetic, and bound by common ideals, they are a diverse, often fragmented group of disillusioned freedom fighters led by a modern day Don Quixote "Lil' Dog" and his four legged companion "Freckles."
Zealous and often comical, these subjects exist in what many believe to be the realm of vigilantism. This cinema vérité documentary follows nine of these eccentric, self-appointed watchdogs as they fight to regain their sovereignty as well as their own sanity in an isolated and dangerous landscape. Filmed over the course of four years, we examine the motivations of and relationships between these conflicted patriots.

It’s probably the world’s most secretive country. We take a peak inside, seeing the secrecy and propaganda surrounding a country that is famous not only for the awful living conditions of its citizens, but also for challenging the world with its nuclear programme. We visit North Korea under the vigilant eye of the authorities, which accompany the team on a route visiting the symbolic sites of the world’s last real socialist regime. Half a century after the Korean War, two decades after the end of the Cold War and with the recent memory of the great famine, the North exalts ideological purity and preaches the dream of reunification with the South. Meanwhile, as South Korean companies take advantage of the investment opportunities offered by Pyongyang, North and South Koreans alike share the 'big dream'.

Almost a century has passed since the signing of the Treaty of Neuilly near Paris. And every year since that century Bulgarians have made protest demonstrations waved flags, lit torches, and uttered fiery tirades against the selfishness of the great powers, against the selfish greed of our neighbors. And seventy years since the Treaty of Paris. With this film, we want to look more objectively at these events in our recent history, which in no small measure determined the uneasy and not very happy fate of Bulgaria in the 20th century. Through the eyes of a fictional person who witnessed the signing of both the Treaty of Nice and the Treaty of Paris in 1947.
