              A video report on the occupation of lands by the Movimiento de Trabajadores Desocupados (Unemployed Workers Movement) on the 26th of June in La Matanza, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. The story helps us to understand the methods of self-organisation used by unemployed workers from necessity, and how direct action can lead to a brutal confrontation with law enforcement forces. It also offers proposals for other ways to think about property, outside of the capitalist society.

              The video discusses the situation in the town of Bolon Aja'aw, located in the north of the state near the famous Agua Azul river system. The federal government sold the land in Bolon Aja'aw to a private company to create an eco-tourism centre without the permission of the community members. This video documents a meeting between Zapatista authorities and Mexican Government functionaries, and offers a critical look at the practical implications of so-called eco-tourism.

              Chavez, elected president of Venezuela in 1998, is a colourful, unpredictable folk hero, beloved by his nation's working class and a tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. they were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. It's a unique document about political muscle and an extraordinary portrait of the man the wall street journal credits with making Venezuela "Washington?s biggest Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba."

              This documentary seeks to boost the voices involved in struggles against the MAT (very high voltage power line), from legal actions to more direct actions, such as the first forest occupation in the Spanish state. They are all confronting the new 440Kv power line that is due to cross the Iberian Peninsula in 2013.

              We are now moving through a very bleak period in human history - where the convergence of postmodernist cynicism (eliminating humanistic and critical thinking from the education system), sheer greed engendered by the consumer society sweeping many people under its wing, human, economic and environmental catastrophe in the form of globalisation, massively increased suffering and exploitation of the people of the so-called Third World, as well as the mind-numbing conformity and standardization caused by the systematic audiovisualization of the planet have synergistically created a world where ethics, morality, human collectivity, and commitment (except to opportunism) are considered old fashioned. Where excess and economic exploitation have become the norm - to be taught even to children. In such a world as this, what happened in Paris in the spring of 1871 represented (and still represents) the idea of commitment to a struggle for a better world, and of the need for some form of collective social Utopia - which WE now need as desperately as dying people need plasma. The notion of a film showing this commitment was thus born.

              A film that recounts the situation in Gaza in the wake of Operation Cast Lead. As the filmmakers explain, “We came to Gaza the day after the start of the war and discovered the extent of the Gaza-strophy.”

              This film aims to reinstate the political experience of organisation and struggle of the Venezuelan people by exploring the history of a barrio in Caracas: 23 de Enero. From the moment it was founded, the popular organisations of 23 de Enero have been major players in the political events that shaped Venezuela's history and led the country into a new kind of revolutionary process with Hugo Chávez's coming into power.

              The filmmaker interrogates the population of the Bourj Barajneh refugee camp about the place where they would like to be buried, thus portraying the symbolism of Palestine and the imaginary of the Palestinian population of the Lebanese refugee camps.
