"Warring Factions" focuses on half Iranian Muslim American's journey to Iran to find break dancers and bridge the rift between the US and Iran with hip hop and traditional Persian martial arts. During this journey, he explores the cultural and political divide between America and Iran from his personal perspective. The documentary begins in the US and soon moves to Iran, where he trains in an authentic Zurkhaneh gym, spends time with family, interviews Tehran citizens, visits local sites, and connects with other Iranian youth who share his passion for the "b-boy" breakdancing subculture. Upon his return home to Arizona, he is detained by Homeland Security, who confiscate his film, laptop and interrogate him about his activities in Iran. The ironic conclusion illustrates the Iranian-American dilemma, who are often caught in the middle of a ceaseless feud between "warring factions."

The warriors of the Golden Gate Bridge wage a constant battle--not against their bridge, but against the corrosive elements of wind, weather, and hard use that take a toll each day. Crews of painters, electricians, and security officers work on and around this most unusual site, tending to the bridge almost as if it is a living creature entrusted to their care. Some 160,000 gallons of "International Orange" paint give the bridge its distinctive look. Paint crews blast off old paint and rust before they apply two new coats, a process that is ongoing.
