              MOVE first emerged in Philadelphia (USA) in the early seventies. This documentary traces the most important events in the history of the organisation during the seventies and eighties, when MOVE was at the centre of brutal repression that ended with the majority of its members killed or in jail. Eight of them remain in prison to this day. “The work of MOVE is the revolution. MOVE works to stop industry from poisoning the air, the water, the soil, and put an end to the enslavement of life - people, animals, any form of life... The revolution begins with the individual. It begins when a person commits to doing the right thing. You cannot turn somebody into a revolutionary by making them shout slogans or wield arms. The revolution cannot be imposed on others, it must awaken within each person. Somebody may talk about the revolution, but if they still worship money or take drugs or abuse their partner, they are obviously not committed to doing the right thing. Revolution is not a philosophy, it is an action".

              King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbours, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat – and how we farm.

              Jean Kilbourne continues her groundbreaking analysis of advertising's depiction of women in this most recent update of her pioneering Killing Us Softly series. In fascinating detail, Kilbourne decodes an array of print and television advertisements to reveal a pattern of disturbing and destructive gender stereotypes. Her analysis challenges us to consider the relationship between advertising and broader issues of culture, identity, sexism, and gender violence.

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.

              In the broken cityscape of Kabul, Afghanistan, amid the dust and rubble of war, Westerners and Afghans adjust to the uncertain possibilities of peace. Kabul Transit shuttles through the broken streets of the city, moving between public space and private, listening in on conversations, posing questions, probing the darker alleys mainstream media avoids. The result is a shifting mosaic of encounters and raconteurs, captured glances and telling gestures, all beautifully shot and woven together by the music and the found sounds of a city sluggishly coming to life, a place that is at once hauntingly strange and altogether familiar.
