- The remarkable story of The Weather Underground, radical activists of the 1970s, and of radical politics at its best and most disastrous.
- Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sam Green, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE traces the history of Esperanto, an artificial language that was created in the late 1800s by a Polish eye doctor who believed that if everyone in the world spoke a common tongue, humanity could overcome racism and war. Today, a vibrant Esperanto movement still exists. In this first-ever documentary about the language, Green creates a portrait of Esperanto and those who speak it today that is at once humorous, poignant, stirring and ultimately hopeful.
- After viewing this provocative documentary, you will never look at Wikipedia the same way. Filmmakers Scott Glosserman and Nic Hill engagingly explore the history and cultural implications of one of the most traveled and referenced sites on the Internet. A whole range of opinion is expressed about the impact of Wikipedia on the archiving of learning, from interviews with founder Jimmy Wales to commentators suspicious of the site's supposed neutrality. The documentary delves into the EssJay controversy in which a Wikipedian made false claims about his academic credentials and the battle over journalist John Seigenthaler's inaccurate entry. Evenhandedly weaving multiple perspectives about the impact of Wikipedia, the film provokes a deeper conversation on how knowledge is formed and what future generations will learn about history and the world.
- Reporter Zero chronicles the groundbreaking work of journalist Randy Shilts, who documented the early years of the AIDS epidemic in his best-selling book "And the Band Played On."
