This documentary will draw a balanced and well-documented assessment of Barack Obama's first term. If his election will clearly go down in history, his first term has been a very tough one! This film will be an epic tale of Barack Obama's White House battles. Since taking office, Obama has had to confront economic crisis as well as an opposition determined to discredit him and destroy his agenda. Obama has been forced to adapt his governing style, and to rein in his ambitions for change. These four years crystallize the very nature of the political machine in representative democracy. What happens when the best speeches and best of intentions meet up with the unforgiving reality of economic recession and relentless political opposition? The film will take us behind the scenes of those battles using interviews with Barack Obama's main advisors and leading political analysts led by James Traub, political journalist for the New York Times Magazine. The exclusive footage of the White House and the Obama administration from NBC News Archives will not simply be historic banners but will allow us to walk the halls of the White House, backstage with the President of the USA, capturing the man, his solitude under pressure and his ease at combat.

This film deals with the issue of mandatory military service in Switzerland. For four months, from February to May 1990, filmmaker Jacqueline Veuve and her team filmed a platoon engaged in basic training at Colombier, Switzerland. This film deals with the issue of mandatory military service in Switzerland. For four months, from February to May 1990, filmmaker Jacqueline Veuve and her team filmed a platoon engaged in basic training at Colombier, Switzerland. Having previously filmed recruitment, Veuve was now allowed to document exercises, inspections and rest breaks. Although she interviewed the entire platoon on several occasions, the film focusses on five recruits from different parts of French-speaking Switzerland, each with a different background and a unique opinion on serving in the military. Time is also spent on the superior officers; the Colonel, the Major, the platoon-leader, and a Corporal. The recruits' remarks underline problems concerning not only the army, but life in general, including unemployment, drugs and the many changes going on in the world today.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel. Gabriela Shalev, UN Ambassador, Israel. Alireza Moaiyeri, UN Ambassador, Iran. Ingrid Jaradat Gassner, Director of BADIL Resource Center, a Palestinian NGO. Attorney Alan Dershowitz, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Put them all together and what do you have? Given the topic, Israel and Palestine, and cast of characters, quite an interesting and evenly-balanced documentary, which, of course, is the point behind this production: to hear both sides and hope in doing so both sides can move forward, to end the bickering, to end the hatred, to end the violence, to help those who are desperately in need of help. We view events of the failed 2001 and 2009 UN World Conferences against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa; witness incendiary statements by the controversial Ahmadinejad; hear the protests and see the walkouts, which drives home the point of how difficult it is to bring people together about this topic that has divided people for decades. However, the question lingers, in airing the differences, can people find common ground in order to address the much larger and more important problems that need to be addressed and solved? That is the hope

An essay documentary about the city of Rotterdam, this film is a collaboration between Hafiz Rancajale and Otty Widasari as part of an art project for New Beginners exhibition at TENT, Center Rotterdam, Netherlands. This video captures the daily life of the people in the new city, rebuilt by the Dutch government after its destruction after World War II. As filmmakers who came from a country formerly colonized by the Dutch (Indonesia), Otty and Hafiz saw this city through the eyes of a 'stranger'. Its historical background was different from anything they'd seen, yet it was still closely related to the Indonesian nation. The film captures the personal experience of how motion, building, transportation, landscape and history from the past become a lens through which to view place. In the film BE RTDM, there is no linear structure in its storytelling . The film is arranged in a series of images and sounds complementing the atmosphere, but sometimes mutually negating each other. It tells about the past, the current insecure world, and the ideal world that is constantly evolving.

While Korea groaned under the harsh colonial rule of Imperial Japan from 1932 until 1945, the Japanese military coerced, tricked, and forced more than 200,000 women of Korea into a brutal and systematic form of sexual slavery on an unimaginable scale. Forbidden to leave the rickety shacks hastily constructed near the front lines of Imperial Japan's aggressive wars, often with a blanket as the room's only "furniture", they were forced to have sex with some 30-40 men every day. Behind Forgotten Eyes presents the stories of a few brave Korean women who have come forward and broken the silence exposing a past that some may want to stay buried. To this day, the Japanese government has yet to formally apologize or pay compensation to these women. Along with the first-hand accounts from Korean women, we hear from Japanese soldiers who used and abused them. With the expert testimony of academics, social activists, and professionals from Japan, Korea, and the United States the film offer a candid look into an issue that has been ignored for far too long. Time is running out for these women and their stories. College Adult
