The film focuses on the personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder, whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America’s Gran Chaco as they moved from nomadic hunter/gatherers to wage laborers. Currently a part-time panhandler in Santa Cruz, his story is common to many lowland indigenous peoples. Focuses on the personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder and part-time panhandler in Santa Cruz whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America’s Gran Chaco as they change from nomadic hunter/gatherers into wage laborers. Ayahai’s testimony of the critical contact moment between the Ayoreo and Westerners is juxtaposed with the memories of Dr. Charles Ramsey, another Octogenarian who was one of the first missionaries to reach Ayahai’s group in the 1950s. Since that first meeting, the Ayoreo have been discriminated against at all levels of Bolivian and Paraguayan society and face debilitating poverty. During a village screening of the unfinished film with the filmmaker the Ayoreo community gains an opportunity to discuss and respond to the opinions of the non-Ayoreo in Santa Cruz. The documentary challenges stereotypical images of lowland indigenous peoples like the Ayoreo with a portrait of their lived experience, while raising questions of interest to a wider anthropological audience concerned with the politics of memory, representation and native rights in Latin America. Although a growing body of ethnographic and pictorial representations exist in Spanish, French and German, very little has been published on the Ayoreo in English, and even less has been filmed. Supplemented by traditional songs, the film puts a human face on a transnational tribal peoples struggle for self-determination.

This is the colorful story of Mustafa Kemal, later known as Ataturk, the controversial and charismatic leader of Turkey after the first World War. The documentary traces the rise of modern Turkey, which acts as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East. Ataturk was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize even though his rise to power came from his role in the First World War. He established peace on the borders of Turkey in marked contrast to the expansionist old Ottoman Empire. His first and greatest reform was to secularize the country in order to bring it into the modern world. Under his leadership, women were emancipated, certain minorities were guaranteed equal rights, and the Latin alphabet replaced of Arabic script. Along with rare archival footage there are commentaries from experts such as Prof. Vamik Volkan and Prof. Geoffrey Lewis, and interviews with his adopted daughter, Ulku, with Suleyman Demirel, President of the Turkish Republic, and with the Patriach of the Orthodox church. Turkey holds a key role in the mid Eastern affairs, and this film will enlighten students about its history. High School College Adult

A fight broke out in Mishimishimabowei-teri on the second day of Chagnon and Asch's stay in this village in 1971. The conflict developed between the villagers of Mishimishimabowei-teri and their visitors from another village. The visitors had formerly been part of Mishimishimabowei-teri, and many still had ties with members of that village. A fight broke out in Mishimishimabowei-teri on the second day of Chagnon and Asch's stay in this village in 1971. The conflict developed between the villagers of Mishimishimabowei-teri and their visitors from another village. The visitors had formerly been part of Mishimishimabowei-teri, and many still had ties with members of that village. They refused to work in their hosts' gardens, yet they demanded to be fed. The event lasted about half an hour, ten minutes of which were filmed. The film is constructed of four parts. The first consists of an unedited version of what the cameraman saw and the sound technician recorded. The apparent chaos of these first ten minutes is clarified in the second section, in which Chagnon explains the sequence of actions, the relationships between the actors, and how the filmmakers' interpretation of the events became coherent. The third section diagrams the lineages in the villages involved to illustrate the fight's relationship to long-standing patterns of conflict and alliance within the village. Finally, in an edited version of the fight, we see how the editors' hands shape the "reality" we view. The Ax Fight thus operates on several levels. It plunges the viewer into the problems of Yanomamo kinship, alliance, and village fission; of violence and conflict resolution. At the same time it raises questions about how anthropologists and filmmakers translate their experience into meaningful words and coherent, moving images.

For many around the world, Jamaica conjures up images of pristine beach vacations with a pulsating reggae soundtrack. The country, however, has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world, and the population is actively grappling with legacies of Western imperialism, racial slavery, and political nationalism – the historical foundations of contemporary violence in Jamaica and throughout the Americas. BAD FRIDAY focuses on a community of Rastafarians in western Jamaica who annually commemorate the 1963 Coral Gardens “incident,” a moment just after independence when the Jamaican government rounded up, jailed and tortured hundreds of Rastafarians. It chronicles the history of violence in Jamaica through the eyes of its most iconic community, and shows how people use their recollections of past traumas to imagine new possibilities for a collective future.
