The film features revealing interviews with soldiers of both the modern Khmer Rouge and those who fight in opposition. Inside the Khmer Rouge takes an in-depth look at the history, domination, and current status of the Khmer Rouge (a Communist regime) in Cambodia. The film features revealing interviews with soldiers of both the modern Khmer Rouge and those who fight in opposition. A comprehensive timeline of the regime's five-year occupation in Cambodia is dissected and includes a review of key individuals, ideologies, and locations where devastation hit hardest. Following this, the film takes a look at the effects on the Cambodian citizens upon the retraction of Vietnamese forces. Inside the Khmer Rouge continues to investigate the current tactics the modern Khmer Rouge implement and their attempts to persuade followers in order to rebuild and expand their regime. Oppositely, local forces or "jungle soldiers" discuss their devices for assuring the destruction and atrocities once caused by the Khmer Rouge never happen again.

For thousands of years Ju/'hoansi have lived in the Nyae Nyae region in northeastern Namibia. In the 1950s, most Ju/'hoansi had been exterminated or were dispossessed by white colonists and black farmers, but in Nyae Nyae Ju/'hoansi were still the only permanent inhabitants. For thousands of years Ju/'hoansi have lived in the Nyae Nyae region in northeastern Namibia. In the 1950s, most Ju/'hoansi had been exterminated or were dispossessed by white colonists and black farmers, but in Nyae Nyae Ju/'hoansi were still the only permanent inhabitants. Waterless approaches isolated their ancient communal land and protected them from enslavement. In 1970 the Ju/'hoansi lost 70% of Nyae Nyae when Bushmanland was established as the only "homeland" for people classified as "Bushmen" in Namibia. The people huddled in a rural slum at Tshumkwe, the administrative capital of Bushmanland, where the malnourished population declined from tuberculosis and other diseases. To survive, Ju/'hoansi had had to develop subsistence farming and produce food to eat in Eastern Bushmanland. In a country where most people had been reduced to extreme poverty under South African occupation, "Bushmen" were the poorest. Until the mid 1980's, the Colonial Administration planned to complete the dispossession of the "Bushmen" by expropriating Eastern Bushmanland for a game reserve. In 1982 a development foundation was started to help Ju/'hoansi keep Eastern Bushmanland and develop subsistence farming. This visual report, produced in conjunction with a major Land Rights Conference in Namibia in 1991 and aired on Namibian television, shows the Ju/'hoan struggle to hold onto their last fragment of land and farm for their lives.

This is a powerful investigation of the drug war which is raging in Colombia, the cocaine capital of the world. For almost a decade, the United States, backed by Britain and other Western countries, has tried to smash the powerful and wealthy drug cartels with little success. Coca growing has increased and has now spread into new areas. For 5,000 years the Indians of the Andes have relied on coca, the raw material of cocaine, to ease the harsh realities of their life. Coca has been at the very heart of their culture and economy. But when Western- ers began reducing it down to make cocaine, a savage industry of vast proportions was unleashed. Murder and terrorism have become commonplace as drug cartels protect their territory.The film criticizes the rigidity of U.S. policy which doggedly pursues the foreign producers and traffickers, while ignoring the domestic social problems that create the demand. Extradition of drug traders to stand trial in the United States has led to a blood bath against judges, politicians and law enforcement agents in Colombia. And meantime, poor people in inner cities of both countries have had their lives torn apart by the drug scourge. College Adult
