              This disturbing and often brutal film is the most incisive examination to date of the Bush Administration's willingness to undermine human rights in its prosecution of the ‘war on terror'. By probing the torture and death of an innocent taxi driver in 2002 at the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, the film exposes a policy of detention and interrogation that condones torture and grants immunity to government officials for crimes against humanity. It included never-before-seen images from inside the Bagram, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay prisons.

              Taqwacore: The Birth of Punk Islam follows Michael and his kindred spirits as they travel across the U.S. in their green school bus, challenging Muslims and non-Muslims with punchy anthems like “Sharia Law in the U.S.A.” Their spiritual odyssey leads them to Pakistan, where they bring punk to the streets of Lahore and reconnect with Islam in a bold new way.

              Since I Am That was released in 1973, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, along with Sri Ramana Maharshi, has been recognized as one of the 20th Century's most profound voices of Advaita Vedanta. The Lost Satsang depicts Maharaj in the most authetic way and directly transmits the overwhelming power of this remarkable sage.

              This documentary produced in 1973 is a remarkable document on traditional Islamic culture in Afghanistan before the country met with the disasters of ideological struggles and civil war. To a Muslim sensibility, its importance goes much further. It is an objective and respectful testimony to the profound, essential aspects of the spiritual culture of Islam, captured by a Western filmmaker.

              One of the funeral rites commonly practiced in Tibet is the Sky Burial, an ancient tradition that reveals a profound respect for nature and understanding of life. The Sky Burial ritual is known "jha-tor", which means the giving of alms to birds. The bodies of the dead are offered to vultures in a gesture of kindness towards living beings... a final act of generosity. We witness this funeral ritual from the Drigung Monastery in northern Tibet. To the Tibetans, merging with the sky after death is a holy event that replaces the sufferings of this world with peace.

              Short Cut to Nirvana is a film about the Kumbh Mela, the biggest gathering of people in the history of humanity – although few in the West have ever heard of it. More than 70 million pilgrims attend this spiritual festival which has been held every twelve years near Allahabad, India, for over two millennia.
