One hundred years ago, the Herero people of Namibia were nearly exterminated by German colonial soldiers in what has become known as the first genocide of the 20th century. Herero men, women and children were rounded up like cattle and put into Germany's first ever concentration camps. Four years later, three-quarters of the entire Herero nation had perished at the hands of German colonialists. The Nazis used the experiences from the German concentration camps in Namibia as well as their experiments in "racial science" when they formulated the Final Solution during World War II a few decades later. Today the Hereros claim billions of euros from the German government in repatriation for the genocide. The experience of one family is described by a descendant, a 23-year-old Herero woman named Georgina. She has a fair complexion and a green tinge to her eyes. Georgina is aware of the fact that her great-grandmother was raped by a German soldier and now wants to confront the demons of her own genetic past. High School College Adult

The film's title, 216 Beach Walk, Waikiki (2018, 30mins), refers to the former address of author Jack London during his period in Hawaii in 1915-16 when he was stimulating interest in the islands through his writings. By chance, the same location is now the back door of Trump Int’l Hotel Waikiki. In the film, high-rise developments serve as magnified totems for a heavily congested urban environment fueled by Waikiki’s fabled touristic appeal. The film questions this interpretation of a paradisiacal paradigm in what could otherwise be termed a post-traumatic site, drawing on the creation and toxicity of the Ala Wai Canal as a potent metaphorical comment. This research project received funding from the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland.

This is a multi-award winning documentary about Unit 731, Japan's secret World War II biological and chemical weapons facility in the Chinese town of Harbin where biological weapons were developed during the Japanese Occupation. The film uses the same footage as seen from two points of view. The first half gives the perspective of the Chinese government and describes the horrors and atrocities that occurred during World War II at the facility. The second half, using almost the exact same footage, describes Unit 731 from the Japanese revisionist perspective which is largely supported by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Japan. Although its cruel experiments on living people produced thousands of casualties, this activity is still denied by a number of Japanese historians and politicians. Generational change has contributed to the escalating history problem between Japan, China, and the two Koreas. Not only were the majority of Asians born and educated after the war; as a result of the education they received in their own countries, their memories and ideas of the war have become more divergent. Usage of the same shots in both parts of the film ironically demonstrates the potential to misuse film images for political purposes. College Adult

In the general election of the constituent assembly of Pakistan in December 1970, secular Awami League, led by Bengalee leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won absolute majority. But instead of handing over power to the elected Bengalee representatives, the Pakistan army on 25th March 1971, launched a brutal military crackdown on the Bengalee code named as 'Operation Searchlight'. And since then up to the liberation of Bangladesh in December, for long nine months, the marauding Pakistan army perpetrated a genocide in East Pakistan. It is claimed that around three million people were killed, more than two hundred thousand women were raped and about ten million refugees had to flee to India. The Bengalee military and para-military personnel, the youth and the students formed the Freedom Fighters (Muktibahini), who resiliently fought against the Pakistan army and their Islamic collaborators. In December, a full-fledged war broke out between India and Pakistan, and Bangladesh was finally liberated on 16th December as an independent state. Depicting all the main events of the year 1971 Tanvir Mokammel has made a research-based three hour-thirty five minutes (215 minutes) long mega-documentary titled as '1971'. For the people of Bangladesh the year 1971, for its association with the war of independence, has remained a glorious year. But at the same time, as so much carnage happened around, it was also a sad time. The year 1971, for the people of Bangladesh remains, to borrow Charles Dickens' expression— 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times!' For the documentary Tanvir Mokammel shot 250 hours of footage and interviewed 176 individuals including military commanders, freedom fighters, politicians, diplomats, raped women, refugees and survivors from the mass killings.

30 years ago, China and Taiwan reached an understanding that there’s one China. This set the framework for dialogue and cooperation between both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Fast forward to today, tensions between the two governments are the worst in decades. Taipei has turned its back on the agreement, while Beijing continues to apply military and economic pressure to assert its sovereignty over the territory. The superpower has even vowed to pursue reunification at all costs, by force if necessary. And over in Taiwan, civilians pick up lessens on defence, businesses engage in activities to promote cross-strait economic cooperation and there are even attempts to use semiconductors as bargaining chips against war.

THE 25,000 MILE LOVE STORY chronicles the amazing 5 year journey of Swiss endurance athlete Serge Roetheli as he endeavored to run a distance equal to the earth’s circumference to raise money and awareness for the world’s impoverished children. Accompanied by his equally adventurous wife Nicole, who rode a motorcycle alongside Serge with their supplies and pup tent in tow, the Roethelis were confronted with challenges that threatened to push them beyond their physical and emotional limits as they crossed 6 continents and 35 countries while battling against unforgiving landscapes, extreme weather, horrific poverty, civil unrest, and near-death illnesses. Remarkably, they survived it all. The heart of this tale is an inspirational love story – a relationship of two people who were willing pay the price to achieve their almost impossible dream. Serge and Nicole Roetheli journeyed in search of love, life, nature and adventure – and while finding all of those things, found themselves too.
