              In November 1969 a small group of Native American students and urban Indians began the occupation of Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay. Eventually joined by thousands of Native Americans, they reclaimed 'Indian land' for the first time since the 1880s, forever changing the way Native Americans viewed themselves, their culture and their sovereign rights. For Native Americans all across the United States, the infamous Alcatraz is not an island... It is an inspiration.

But he's the first one to suffer its consequences. He may not be happy when they are happy but he's always afraid when they are afraid". Mourid Barghouti

              An unsparing yet redemptive depiction of the inevitable grief, religious passions and frequent happiness that punctuate daily life in Benares, India's most holy city. Cinematographically transfiguring, and unfolding without commentary, subtitles or dialogue, “Forest of Bliss” is an attempt to give the viewer a wholly authentic though greatly magnified and concentrated sense of participation in the experiences examined by the film

              Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about the TV series “Free to Choose” which deals with the neo-liberal writings of Milton Friedman. Arnold tells us “I want to share my experience with you. I came here to America from a socialist country (Austria), where the government controls the economy and you always feel their breath on the back of your neck, where 18 year olds only talk about their retirement. But I want more, I want to be the best. That's why I came to America and put my muscles to work in the film business, to be able to save and invest".

              The U.S.-Mexican Border is the site of a disturbing increase in violence and racial intolerance. Along the border there are now a number of autochthonous groups that have organized with the stated purpose of ending undocumented immigration. “Natives” follows the individuals involved in San Diego's anti-immigration movement. Relying principally on a direct cinema style and an eye for the absurd, the film critiques the autochthonous position by contrasting their professed love of country with their racist and anti-democratic attitudes. Though the US has long maintained a reputation as a haven for immigrants, there is nonetheless a strong tradition of xenophobia. In the decade of the 1990s, there was a new surge of anti-immigrant sentiment. This film examines the autochthonous discourse along the US-Mexico border, a place that brings issues of nationalism and intolerance into sharp focus.
