A report on the questions surrounding the death of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who died of a gunshot wound to the head the night before he was to present evidence that the country’s President, Cristina Kirchner, had secretly conspired with Iran to cover up Iran’s involvement in Argentina’s worst terrorist attack -- the 1994 suicide bombing of AMIA, a Buenos Aires Jewish community center. Some theories about Nisman’s death are: suicide; government aided murder; revenge murder by former Argentine government spy Jaime Stuisso; or murder by Nisman’s coworker, Diego Lagomarsino, who says he gave Nisman the gun for self-defense. Includes interviews with: Diego Lagomarsino, (through translator), Nisman’s coworker; Gustavo Perednik, author; and Hector Timerman, Argentine Foreign Minister. Also includes comments by Rodolfo Canicoba Corral, Argentine Judge.

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 award winning film tells the history through the force and emotion of a personal story. It is the engaging portrait of Emil Synek, the filmmaker's grandfather, who was a revered playwright, journalist and politician in Czechoslovakia during the era of the Second World War and the Communist takeover. When he was filmed, Emil Synek in his eighties, lived in exile in Paris with his constant companion, a poodle Fifi. Emil's life was shaped by the politics of Europe. When the Nazis invaded his country he fled to London, where he joined the exiled government of Eduard Benes. In post-war Czechoslovakia he served as a diplomat until the Communist takeover of 1948 forced him and his family to flee again to the West. All his works and any mention of his life was obliterated from his country's history. His story echoes Czechoslovakia's struggle for freedom. It gained independence in 1918 only to lose it to Hitler's invading army. In 1945 the exiled government was restored but was overthrown three years later by the Communists. In 1968 a quest for democratic socialism and independence was crushed by Soviet force. College Adult
