Australian filmmaker David Bradbury has been coming and going to the United States for the last 40 years. A one-man band political activist who always travels with his camera, the twice Academy Award nominated Bradbury was easily able to slip into gear and start filming in eight US cities in the three months lead up to the shock election of Donald Trump, 2016. Bradbury was filming the native American Indian protest at Standing Rock when America woke to the news. America once was Great. Due largely to the hard work, innovation of its people…and exploiting the resources and labor of other people to its greater gain. America and Me chronicles how the hawks have come home to roost in the nest of America itself, 40 years after Ronald Reagan championed the economic theories of Milton Friedman and his infamous Chicago Boys. America and Me interviews veterans of America’s failed wars to maintain Empire, gets down in the gutter with the homeless to find out what life is like on the streets, speaks to a nun who was violated by the military junta in Guatemala under the directions of a CIA operative, goes to the US/ Mexican border where Trump plans to build the Wall, exposes the deadly connection between CIA HQ Langley, Virginia to CIA spy base Pine Gap in Australia, responsible for the death of hundreds of children and adults from drone attacks….and ends up at Standing Rock where private security guards turned dogs onto non-violent protestors and sprayed mace at point blank range. Bradbury uses telling moments from his earlier films shot on the edge of the American Colossus – Nicaragua No Pasaran, Chile Hasta Cuando? (Pinochet’s dictatorship), Frontline (about the Vietnam war), South of the Border (the New Song movement and radical politics versus dictatorship in Central America) and Public Enemy Number One (about left-wing Australian journalist Wilfred Burchett, the first western journalist into Hiroshima after the bomb who covered the Indochina war from the communist side…), to give context to his critique of the American penchant for Empire.

Sixty years ago, the "projects" were considered to be the most desirable housing stock for low-to-low-middle-income Americans. Today, this same housing has become stigmatized, beset by financial and social problems, and may be phased out. This film, made in the 1980s, remains the classic portrait of a government program besieged on all sides. In two 30-minute sections, the film presents a concise social history of a housing movement and its opponents, then examines the social dilemmas of the developments these forces produced. Spokespeople include residents, public housing advocates from the 1930s, developers, administrators and politicians. Down The Project: The Crisis of Public Housing presents the story of two projects that housed working families, both white and black, in the 1940s. In later years, crippled by lower budgets and the needs of poorer populations, they came to be regarded as eyesores, as danger zones. How did these changes occur? How did public housing begin? Which forces lobbied for it and against it? How do the people living in this housing see it?

Kit Bricca was a leader of the Bay Area protest movements of the 1960s and 70s with a fierce passion for social justice, but found the transition from activist to breadwinner a challenging one. In this moving, psychologically complex documentary, filmmaker Jacob Bricca follows the extraordinary journey of his father Kit, a man whose uncompromising idealism changed the world but tore his family apart. Kit organizes with Joan Baez and Cesar Chavez in the sixties, helps start Amnesty International USA in the seventies, then transforms himself into a high flying commodities broker in the eighties and a shamanic healer named Tatanka in the nineties. As the financial crisis of 2008 hits and Kit's finances fall into disarray, Jacob begins his search for answers by following his father on a series of quixotic adventures. Both epic and intimate, Tatanka features never before seen footage from a lost era and tells a sweeping story about the fate of American idealism, the cost of dreams, and the meaning of family.
