In commemoration of Bob Marley's 60th birthday, Africa Unite is centered on the Marley's first-time-ever trip to Ethiopia in 2005. Including rare footage of world-renowned reggae icon Bob Marley, the film is more than a tribute: it is at once a concert film, a family travelogue and humanitarian documentary. Three generations of Marleys take part in a 12-hour concert in the capital city of Addis Ababa attended by more than 300,000 people from around the world, with the ultimate purpose of inspiring the young generations of Africa to unite for the future of their continent.

Filmmaker Stuart Kershaw explores the parallels between extremist movements across the political spectrum as he asks the question: What drives a young recruit to fanatical obedience? Kershaw uncovers why the militant Neo-Nazi is so similar to his communist counterpart. How the jarhead marine undergoes indoctrination like the Islamist suicide bomber in Palestine. Exploring the nature of fundamentalist thinking and the death of traditional religious values, this film corners the young men willing to risk everything for the infamy and honor of self-sacrifice, offering a disturbing possibility - that 21st century man might exist without belief in a God but never without belief in a Devil.

This film chronicles the spectacular journey of 9 'peace climbers' from different faiths and cultures as they climb to the summit of Mt. Everest. Palestinian Ali Bushnaq and Israeli's Dudu Yifrah and Micha Yaniv have set aside their differences to forge a path of teamwork and cooperation in order to climb the world’s highest peak. This, however, is easier said than done. Having been embroiled in a brutal war for years, each believes they are on the right side of that war and each knows that on Everest the cooperation of your teammate is a matter of life and death.

Media students in London set out to complete a homework assignment. Their project: to 'look for happiness' through the lens of a video camera. Taught that ‘there are only about 40 original films in the cinema, and that all the rest just remake those same stories’, the students begin their journey. But art quickly imitates life as the students realize that the happiness they seek is their own.

Citizenship, civil and human rights, and individual versus state responsibility have been important threads in American political discourse for centuries. Post-Katrina New Orleans is a unique microcosm in which these themes have gained new urgency. Here, the individual and the communal, the local and the national are inseparably intertwined, and precedents will be set that will reverberate in national political debates for decades to come. Despite, or maybe because of the incompetent response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the disheartening reluctance of all levels of government to effectively engage in the rebuilding process, New Orleanians have turned to each other for material and moral support. At the same time, volunteers from all over the nation have become the muscle for new and established grassroots organizations, setting up food banks, providing medical care, gutting homes, and rebuilding schools and public libraries. Our documentary follows these events, takes stock of the loss that defines the 'storm generation,' and features interviews with 'third responders,' who dedicate themselves to rebuilding morale among those dispirited by the slowness of recovery. In short, in a series of interviews, our documentary chronicles the achievements of both the local residents and the millions of volunteers, while exploring the limitations and fragility of a recovery process built upon the shoulders of individuals operating almost entirely without government support. Throughout, the film thus examines larger themes relevant to American society today, culminating in a final discussion of American citizens' vision of and trust in democratic processes.

In January, 2003, Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower organized readings of the ancient Greek play, Lysistrata, to protest the imminent preemptive war on Iraq. Word of the Lysistrata Project exploded across the Internet and six weeks later, on March 3, 2003, over 1,000 simultaneous productions were performed in 59 countries around the globe. This 2,400 year-old play uncannily mirrors strong women who dare to speak out against the hypocrisy of war while facing ridicule and accusations of treason from the powers of male-dominated government. As the famous and ordinary alike joined together in a worldwide chorus of dissent, this inspiring film demonstrates the power of theatre as a tool for change. NOTE: This film contains adult content.
