"Every revolution is an adventure." - Angel Wagenstein.
As a teenager in wartime Bulgaria, Angel Wagenstein commanded a daredevil Jewish partisan brigade, surviving capture and torture by fascist police. When post-war dreams of a socialist utopia turned to dust, his films became a kind of covert resistance against the brutality of the Stalinist era. This is one of the great untold stories of world cinema: at 94, Wagenstein is still a man of massive charm and ferocious intelligence, a passionate witness to history and influential voice in the debate on Europe’s rocky post-communist future. Intimate conversations, excerpts from his films, and rare archive materials inform this visually striking and provocative documentary on a remarkable artist.

How does a young person maintain resilience and humanity in the face of vicious racism, unspeakable violence and unfolding genocide? This is the story of Holocaust Survivor Ben Stern, as he explores the question that haunts: how did he emerge from overwhelming physical pain and psychological terror, determined to reject violence, and remain dedicated to a life of courage, kindness and hope? After 2 ghettos, 9 concentration camps, and 2 death marches in Nazi Europe, Ben builds a new life in the U.S.--only to face American Nazis and their plan to march in his adopted hometown, Skokie, Illinois, 40 years later. Ben stands up, speaks out and sparks a fierce public battle over Hate Speech. Despite repeated death threats and even buying a gun, Ben rejects vengeance. He defies many who said, “Stay home”, and builds huge national support. In the end, Ben won - the Nazi march was cancelled. Ben--the mystery and wonder of his life and his story, an astounding and cautionary tale--ignites conversation and inspires commitment to action for social justice – today. And a new generation gets it.

The New Colossus focuses on how the events of 9/11 intersect with the border/wall controversy between the United States and Mexico. Themes of national trauma, patriotism, anti-immigration and idealism infuse the film and serve as the basis for a game of chess with Robert Bonner. The first Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Bonner goes on record about how he managed the country’s borders during 9/11 and its aftermath. In the ensuing conflation of national security and immigration strategies, the utopian example of Friendship Park on the border between San Diego and Tijuana becomes a touchstone for debates on transnationalism.
