| Angel of Alabama |
| Brenda Hampton, a seasoned investigator, uncovers decades of pollution within her hometown, setting her on a path at odds with some of the world's largest corporations. Angel of Alabama is a call to action for the fight against "forever chemicals", which are growing into one of the biggest pollution crises in world history. Firstborn of ten to a family in rural Alabama, Brenda was naturally inquisitive. Leaving home, she became a paralegal and then an investigator but eventually returned to Lawrence County, Alabama due to her mother's health problems. An avid drinker of the local water, her mother's kidneys had crystallized and so Brenda donated a kidney to her. But eventually, Brenda's remaining kidney began failing which triggered her realization of a larger problem. With her expertise and passion for justice, Brenda identified the source of massive environmental contamination in Alabama. Nearby manufacturer, 3M, had been illegally dumping all manner of chemicals in the water for decades, which had contributed to the alarming rise of negative impacts on the local community's health as over 100,000 of Brenda's neighbors, as well as her family, suffered from cancer, renal failure, still-births, miscarriages, and more. Even though corporations willingly admitted the purposeful contamination, they have yet to be held accountable. As Brenda leads a demographically diverse community to fight for legal action, she also supports the most at-risk members of her community by delivering bottled water and safe food. Despite intimidation tactics from the opposition and ostracization from friends and family, Brenda's years of tireless work led to a permanent water solution for her community. Her efforts even pushed international progress, including a policy change by McDonalds, the largest fast-food company in the world. |

| It's basic |
| "It's Basic highlights the myriad benefits achieved through Guaranteed Basic Income by documenting participants of GBI pilot programs in five cities, all of whom are working people who were given extra cash with no strings attached. What becomes apparent time after time is that the best way to address poverty and provide people with an opportunity to keep their heads above water is to give them money. The film reveals that Basic Income pilot programs also help people maintain and gain employment, create health benefits for children, and level the racial playing field through community-centric solutions, as well as improving citizens' ideas about, and relationships with, their government and elected officials. With commentary by Michael Tubbs - former mayor of Stockton, CA and founder of Mayors for Guaranteed Income - and interviews with program recipients and participating mayors across the country, the film shows the common struggles experienced by the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck in the world's largest economy. It's Basic is an eye-opening look at the power of cash to transform lives and communities, and is a powerful call to action for policymakers to invest in guaranteed income in order to build a more just and equitable society"--container. |

| The climate baby dilemma |
 Deciding whether to have a child is a deeply personal process. Deciding amid increasingly dire warnings for the planet makes it even more overwhelming. The Climate Baby Dilemma explores how the long-held goals of entire generations are being thrown into flux by a warming planet, as a rising number of young people express discomfort with having children due to the existential threat of climate change. Featuring prominent science writer Dr. Britt Wray, the film seeks out activists, authors, and prospective parents considering the implications of introducing a new human into a rapidly changing climate. Some, such as Payton Mitchell and Emma Lim, are driving a youth climate initiative and have joined a "no child" pledge to compel leaders to action. On the other end, Indigenous activist and new mother Sarain Fox talks about how having a child resists the goals of colonialism and allows culture and language to live on, a crucial political activity for oppressed communities. The film also looks at how these movements are misunderstood and weaponized by climate deniers who would deem their efforts "population control" and "civilizational suicide." It also considers the effects that pre-traumatic stress and climate grief have on young people, with declining birth rates being one indicator of growing climate anxiety. Eventually, Wray herself faces the question of whether or not to start a family as she weighs that decision against the knowledge brought about by her work, and ultimately reconciles starting a family with climate action. |

| The wisdom of trauma |
| "One in five Americans are diagnosed with mental illness in any given year. In the US, death by suicide is the second most common cause of death for those aged 15-24, killing over 48,000. Annually, drug overdose kill 81,000 in the US. The autoimmunity epidemic affects 24 million people in the US. What is going on? The interconnected epidemics of anxiety, chronic illness, and substance abuse are, according to Dr. Gabor Maté, normal. But not in the way you might think. In The Wisdom of Trauma, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author, and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Gabor Maté to explore the root causes of the myriad health epidemics faced by Western countries. This is a journey with a man who has dedicated his life to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, trauma, and society. Trauma is the invisible, but no less material, force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we form connections, and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-literate society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy makers, and legal personnel seek to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring, in order to better address the issues of the populations they serve. Through his insights a path materializes towards individual and collective healing, with practices that aim to create cures to address root causes before they manifest as physical symptoms." |

| Food : |
 "This course explores the history of how humans have produced, cooked, and consumed food - from the earliest hunting-and-gathering societies to the present. This course examines how civilizations and their foodways have been shaped by geography, native flora and fauna, and technological innovations. The scope of this course is global, covering civilizations of Asia, America, Africa, and Europe and how cultures in each of these continents domesticated unique staples that literally enabled these civilizations to expand and flourish. The course also covers marginalized and colonized cultures that were dominated largely to feed or entice the palates of the great. A major theme of the course is the process of globalization, imperialism, and the growth of capitalist enterprise at the cost of indigenous cultures and traditional farming practices and how these processes were shaped by trade in food. Beyond the larger economic and social issues, the course will also cover the culture of food, why humans made the food choices they have, and what their food practices tell us about them and their world. In other words, food practices will be used as a window for viewing culture as a whole. This course will examine in detail cookbooks, culinary literature, and dietary and religious texts - all of which reveal the preoccupations and predilections of the past. The course will also examine why different people make different food choices, why they sometimes go to extraordinary lengths to find rare or exotic items while refusing to eat foods that are cheap and plentiful, why individuals from certain social classes will avoid or esteem particular foods, and in general how food is the most important factor of self-definition. In other words, food helps define who the individual is ; where he or she fits in society ; and how the culture, nationality, or ethnicity he or she espouses expresses itself through food and cuisine. This course will help you see not only how and why other cultures shape what people eat, but also how your choices are ultimately determined by our culture and are often equally bizarre and arbitrary to outsiders, especially when it comes to food taboos. The entire course is also accompanied by hands-on activities so that you can not only read about food in the past in the lecture guides, but you can also have some fun in the kitchen exploring the past and even tasting it if you so desire. The activities are designed to bring the lectures alive - not only by having you experience the physical act of cooking as it was done in the past, but also by having you understand directly the taste preferences of our forebears. Some of these activities involve recipes that were taken directly from historic cookbooks. Reconstructions are given when recipes were not available or have never been translated. Others are simply culinary exercises or tastings. They are all designed to expand your palate, to explore the past - just as you might a new, exotic cuisine you have recently discovered. All recipes have either been adapted from the original or are direct translations from the original languages."--adapted from pages 1-3 of Course Guidebook. |

| Gospel |
 "From acclaimed scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Gospel explores Black spirituality through sermon and song. From the blues to hip-hop, African Americans have been the driving force of sonic innovation for over a century. But, while musical styles come and go, there is one sound that has been a constant source of strength, courage, and wisdom. It is a message that resounds from the pulpit to the choir lofts on any given Sunday -- one of good news in bad times: gospel. Since the time of the sorrow songs, Black sacred music was a cathartic and confidential way to communicate the anger and frustration of living as a Black person in America. Even now, gospel continues to evolve and remains a source of cultural affirmation and sustenance. Over the course of four hours, Gospel explores how class, gender, cultural innovations and consumer technologies -- such as records, radio, television and the internet -- shaped the development of Black preaching and gospel over the centuries."--Container. |

| Unzipped |
 A searing expose of the growing affordable housing crisis in America, this intimate documentary focuses on one of the country's most iconic and income divided zip codes. Once a mecca for artists, outsiders, and a thriving Black community, Venice is now the frontline for America's heated battles over gentrification, lack of affordable housing, and homelessness. Featuring interviews with leading politicians, local stakeholders, homeless advocates, and experts on all sides of these issues, the film digs into the myriad root causes of the affordable housing crisis and its intersection with rising income inequality, racial and class disparities, and the structural inequities of America's housing policies. With personal profiles of several families who struggle to remain in their neighborhood, to bitterly contested community fights over a proposed homeless shelter, UNZIPPED subverts stereotypes and humanizes the lived experiences of people caught in the crossfire of America's growing housing divide. Also woven throughout the film is the history of Venice, from its founding, past decline thanks to oil derricks, eventual cultural cachet, and present day housing inequalities. A moving snapshot of a community that offers a representative example of a phenomenon being experienced in cities across the country and around the world, UNZIPPED offers a topical lens on this alarming humanitarian issue, and serves as an urgent call to action for more equitable housing solutions for every community.--Publisher's website. |

| Manufacturing chaos |
 Manufacturing Chaos offers a survey on the recent rise of disinformation from a global perspective, looking at how changes in the way we receive information and connect with one another have influenced such events as Brexit, COVID-19, the 2016 election, Qanon, "deepfakes" and artificial intelligence, and more. Once a site of what many considered to be utopic potential, the primacy of social media platforms on the internet has rapidly turned it into a ready vehicle for disinformation. The film examines how the convergence of rising inequality, our increasing reliance on the online world, combined with new tools for manipulation, has enabled the creation of parallel realities with dramatic social consequences. People living within the same community can now perceive the world in vastly different ways, depending on where they hang out online. The power to manipulate narratives and herd people toward falsehood raises the stakes so high that peace and cooperation are becoming increasingly fragile, the goal of disinformation. Manufacturing Chaos reveals how similar ideas, words, and memes are being employed to draw people towards white-nationalism across the world as algorithms are primed to push conflict in order to increase screen time. The disinformation specialists featured in the documentary offer a historical perspective on the rise of such movements, how the increasing privatization of the commons has led to a resurgence of far-right ideologies, and stress the need for a unified global response. |

| Demon mineral |
 "Demon Mineral can be considered an anti-Western, flipping the classical cinematic paradigm by centering the voices and experiences of the Diné community to explore the legacy of uranium mining in Diné Bikeyah, the sacred homelands of the Navajo where over 500 unremediated mines are scattered across an area the size of West Virginia. In the span of just four generations entire ways of living have been lost or severely compromised, as mining has contaminated the air, water, livestock, and land upon which the community relies for its existence. The film also celebrates the actions the Diné community is taking to fight against new mines and improve life in an irradiated ecosystem which has resulted in a sharp rise in cancer, kidney failure, and other diseases...In keeping with Diné relations with the earth, the land itself is also a central character whose history, purpose, and power is explored. Through community elders, a valuable oral history is shared that expands the scale from the profit-drive short term of mining companies to the cosmic timeline upon which Uranium exists and breaks down. Some Diné adhere to the tenets of an origin story wherein a demon contentedly lives in the earth. The demon will bother no-one unless disturbed, having been laid there by a formidable warrior. Uranium, for millions of years to come, is perhaps this demon made real"--Video Project website. |
