An investigation into how Hugo Chavez's Venezuela is using its oil wealth to build political power at home and challenge US hegemony across the Americas. Its massive deposits of super-heavy crude add up to more oil than the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and make Hugo Chavez the America's new energy superpower.

In 1925 William Faulkner lived in New Orleans for a few months writing short sketches in which he called the city to life. Inspired by Faulkner's impressions, Dutch Filmmaker Marjoleine Boonstra drifts through the devastated streets of New Orleans, at any hour of the day, looking for the fears and dreams of people whose lives have gone adrift as a result of hurricane Katrina.

The life story of an elderly Mauritanian woman, Aïcha Messaoud, who spent her whole life as part of Sheik Ma-el-Aïnïne's distinguished family of nomads and now lives in the small Moroccan village of Tata, in the northern part of Western Sahara.

The civic behaviour bylaws recently passed by Barcelona City Council and applied to other Catalan municipalities bear a striking resemblance to Fraga's 1965 “Keep Spain Clean” campaign. Sex workers, skaters, artists, social activists... spoke out against the new legislation. The video covers the numerous demonstrations that were organised against the civic bylaws.

The tragic participation of Africans from the French colonies in major world conflicts is a very important issue. We have just commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation of Europe. Unfortunately, not a single African or Asian who fought alongside the allies has been honoured together with his French, American and English brothers in arms....

“Radical Imagination (Carnivals of Resistance)” is the second part of the “Entre sueños” (Between Waking and Sleeping) series. It deals with the “Global carnival against capital”, an action staged by the Reclaim the Streets movement in London on June 18, 1999, which brought urban commercial life to a standstill. The City of London, a world financial centre and a major hub of international capital, was paralysed, and the protest developed into an epicentre of a political current that reappropriated the idea of the carnival as a tool that points to new approaches of the occupation and formation of public space in recent anti-globalization movements.

La Makabra is a squatted factory, usually occupied by around fifty people. It is open to the public, and it works as a self-managed cultural centre in Barcelona's Poble Nou district. This is one of the social and artistic collectives affected by 22@, the urban design plan responsible for restructuring the district, which plans to evacuate the building. In spite of this situation the squatters continue performing shows and cabarets, because that is how they use this space, placing creativity up against consumption.

A documentary that criticizes Barcelona's mammoth urban restructuring process, which is carried out without the participation of the people who live in and use the city according to a model that chooses to ignore social memory, especially when it comes to the working class. Through the voices of some of the people behind this process, the documentary shows a side to this chapter of the city's history that is usually not presented by the media.
