Hungry for Green
September 7 2010 at 9pm
"Hungry for Green" is one of the first films to tie together issues of agricultural sustainability and the worldwide problem of hunger. It underscores what each of us can do-whether as farmers or as consumers-to influence how food is produced in this country and around the world. It also addresses the issue of food insecurity, and poses the question-how can we feed the world's hungry while saving agriculture from a chemical and petroleum-laden downward spiral? "Hungry for Green" provides clear paths to sustainable food production. Part of the answers lie in going back to the "old ways" of food production that encourage community and sustainability. Narrated by Senator George McGovern. |

Men and women are not bound to war:for Stafford this idea is a great human possibility. He wrestled with these questions in his writing and in his life, always holding that another way was possible. |

"If you had seen what was there before the mosque...I thought we were going to beautify it and make a place where God's word is going to be spoken."

Just As We Are
September 22 2010 at 9pm
In a culture celebrated for its rich traditions, close-knit families, and strong faith, being Latino and gay, bisexual, or transgender is often unmentionable and frequently unforgivable. Just As We Are exposes the realities of living within a culture where strong beliefs about sexual identity mean condemnation and rejection for those whose sexual orientation or manner is different. This feature length documentary candidly examines the lives of six gay Latino men, one transgender woman, and the ties that bind them: their families and friends, religion, and the cultural experiences that shape them. The film showcases individuals who dare to risk it all to live and be loved - for their truth. The documentary openly confronts the deep scars that condemnation and cultural prejudice can leave upon one's psyche and loved ones. Just As We Are challenges the way we look at the "other" and ourselves. |

2501 Migrants : A Journey
September 29 2010 at 9pm
Each day, thousands of primarily poor and young Mexicans abandon their native homes in search of jobs and the promise of a brighter economic future. In their wake, they leave behind the hollow footprints of a cultural and domestic abandonment. 2501 MIGRANTS explores questions of art and indigenous community in the context of global migration. The documentary chronicles the personal experience of Oaxacan artist Alejandro Santiago. After more than a decade living abroad, Santiago returned to his village, only to find a virtual ghost town of abandoned houses, empty streets and deserted farm fields. Santiago's sense of emptiness inspired him to search for answers through his art. In response, he created "2501 Migrants," a monumental installation art piece comprised of 2,501 life-size clay sculptures, with each statue symbolizing a migrant who left his village. |
