Au Burundi, les massacres interethniques se sont succédés pendant des décennies, laissant des milliers d'orphelins. Marguerite Barankitse (Maggy) a vécu les pires atrocités et en est miraculeusement rescapée. Pour continuer de vivre après ce drame, Maggy a décidé de rester dans la tourmente sur ses collines natales... Depuis, elle tente de désamorcer la haine entre les ethnies, de rompre le cycle de vengeance, d'aider chacun à retrouver sa dignité. Avec énergie, avec colère, elle poursuit son travail. Cette femme pourrait déplacer des montagnes. Sa vision est engagée, politique, et son action s'étend à un niveau national. Elle dit que la guerre est finie mais qu'il y a une autre guerre à mener, " c'est la guerre contre la pauvreté, contre la haine, contre l'ignorance. " En filmant l'action de Maggy, nous sommes confrontés au passé d'un pays. Ici les gens et les lieux portent toujours les traces de la guerre.
In Burundi, inter-ethnic massacres have followed one another for decades, leaving thousands of orphans. Marguerite Barankitse (Maggy) lived through the worst atrocities and miraculously survived. To continue living after this tragedy, Maggy decided to stay in turmoil on her native hills ... Since then, she has been trying to defuse hatred between ethnic groups, to break the cycle of revenge, to help everyone regain their dignity . With energy, with anger, she continues her work. This woman could move mountains. Its vision is committed, political, and its action extends to a national level. She says that the war is over but that there is another war to be waged, "it is the war against poverty, against hatred, against ignorance." By filming the action of Maggy, we are confronted to a country's past. Here, people and places still bear traces of war.

This is the only American documentary film to examine the Rape of Nanjing, December 13, 1937, when the Japanese Imperial troops marched into this city in China. In just six weeks they murdered 300,000 civilians, and systematically raped and killed thousands of women. Today, the Japanese government continues to deny it ever happened. In the Name of the Emperor is a monument to the suffering of the Chinese at the hands of the Japanese during World War II. It weaves together rare footage of the Japanese occupation, diary entries from Americans who were there, and the eyewitness accounts of surviving Japanese soldiers. Especially unique is the newly discovered film footage of the massacre shot by John McGee, an American missionary who was living in Nanjing. This footage was part of the testimony at the war crimes trial, but has never been seen until now. The Nanjing Massacre was the impetus for the Japanese system of "comfort stations" or military brothels in occupied territories to stem the tide of venereal disease. Included is an interview with a Korean "comfort woman" who speaks openly about her sexual servitude. These war crimes continues to disrupt diplomatic relations between Japan, the Philippines, Korea and Taiwan to this day. The horrors captured in this ground-breaking documentary reminds us of the exploitation and suffering of women, and indeed all civilians during war time. There are frightening parallels to the atrocities committed in Bosnia and Rwanda today. College Adult

Muktir Kotha (Words of Freedom) follows a group of projectionists who traveled throughout Bangladesh from 1996-1999, showing 'Muktir Gaan', a documentary on the '71 Bangladesh Liberation War. The film screenings prompted ordinary villagers to share their own stories of wartime suffering and resistance. Often the projection space would be spontaneously transformed into a folk concert. Through these interactions with village audiences, the young projectionist came to 'relearn' the wider history of the Liberation War, and the continuing struggle of ordinary people for a more just and democratic society.

The Japanese subjugation of the capital of China in 1937-38 has been called "The Rape of Nanjing" or the "Nanjing Atrocity." It is considered one of the most brutal, sadistic acts of war in modern history and caused psychological repercussions to succeeding generations of Chinese. This documentary recounts the historical events leading up to the terrifying occupation: the growth of China’s capital city, Nanjing; the expansionist ambitions of Japan; and the large Japanese army, intent on revenge after meeting fierce resistance by the Chinese army in the defense of Shanghai. Archival film footage depicts the full horror of the genocide in Nanjing, in which some 300,000 people were killed and 80,000 women were raped, in a one month period. These distant wartime events take on a deeper meaning when the film focuses on the effect the occupation had on one Nanjing family, the Wangs. Wang Ping recounts how his father and mother survived the war by hiding in the International Safety Zone set up by the American and German embassies. However, the terror his mother experienced during the Japanese occupation and the sadness caused by the loss of several family members, affected her so severely that she became mentally ill. Her granddaughter speaks movingly about how this depression affects her family even today. A great-grandson remembers his great-grandmother looking under the bed for "Japanese devils" every night before bedtime. The mental anguish caused by the Rape of Nanjing has lasted for sixty-four years and continues today. NOTE: This film contains graphic images of war victims. College Adult

This is a story of six decades, three countries and statelessness. A story about the Urdu-speaking community of Bangladesh. The terms 'Urdu-speakers,' 'Non-Bengalees' and 'Biharis' are used interchangeably to refer to Muslim people who originally emigrated from India to the newly created East Pakistan in 1947 and afterwards. Many of them, but by no means all, originated from the state of Bihar and were fleeing large scale communal massacres. Three decades later, during the struggle for independence of Bangladesh in 1971, this community became embroiled in conflict. Branded as collaborators against Bangladesh independence, this moment became a defining one for the Urdu-speakers and has had a devastating legacy. This story is about the 160,000 people from this community who live isolated in 116 camps or settlements in Bangladesh now.
