More than one thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes, following disputed elections in Kenya at the end of 2007. Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye – former militia leaders turned peace-makers from Nigeria – were invited to mediate in the worst-affected district. An African Answer depicts their dramatic bid to bring healing and reconciliation after death and destruction.
The film depicts the dynamics of an effective, African approach to conflict resolution between rival ethnic groups. It demonstrates that durable, peaceful coexistence between communities formerly in conflict is feasible in Kenya and beyond.
Above all, the film gives hope that grassroots communities can reject violence and rebuild peace and prosperity.

This biographical portrait of Gayatri Devi, the outspoken daughter and granddaughter of the Maharajas, spans modern India's history from British rule, through the struggle for independence to today's modern state. It is enriched with archival footage and home movies showing scenes of colonial splendor from a vanished way of life. Born in 1920, Gayatri was married at twenty to the dashing Prince of Jaipur, with whom she lived a glamorous life on an international scale. After independence and the slow dismantling of princely powers, she continued to stay in the limelight, and was hostess to the Kennedys, the Queen of England and Nikita Kruschev. Always dedicated to the welfare of her people, the Princess sought to emancipate girls living in Purdah by starting India's first public school. She was elected as a state senator in 1962, and held that seat until 1978. During Indira Gandhi's rule, the Princess was jailed along with other political opponents and her palace was ransacked for its treasures. Today, known as Rajmatah Sahiba, the mother of the people, she continues to look after her schools and rebel against injustice and corruption. College Adult

Nicaragua - Dictatorship Restored? focuses on the preparations for the 2011 elections. While Nicaragua’s Constitution does not allow leaders to serve consecutive terms, Ortega organizes his campaign by manipulating friendly Supreme Court judges into circumventing the national law. To win reelection, Ortega persecutes members of the opposition, intimidates public employees, and abuses state resources. Several activists representing the 'youth movement' initiate a protest against Ortega's unconstitutional candidacy, but despite their efforts, he wins reelection. Nicaragua - Dictatorship Restored? is a vivid reminder of quickly power can corrupt and undermine youthful ideals.

After the 2008 election, a secretive, well-funded partisan initiative poured money into state legislative races in key swing states to gain control of their redrawing electoral maps and redistricting processes. It used high-tech analytics to dramatically skew voting maps based on demographic data, serving the party in power. The result was one of the greatest electoral manipulations in American history, posing a fundamental threat to democracy and exacerbating the already polarized atmosphere in Congress and state houses across the country. Following groups of outraged citizens, the film sees them battle party operatives and an entrenched political establishment to fix a broken system.
