Documentary investigating political history of Haiti!

"Informative and very moving. An excellent film about the sad recent political history of Haiti that not only provides a rich, well-detailed context for understanding the rise and fall and rise and fall of Aristide but also offers a provocative meditation of the role of outside, especially American, forces and interests in his tumultuous career."

- Richard Peña - Program Director - Film Society of Lincoln Center

Only an hour south of Miami, the elected president of the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation, Jean Bertrand Aristide, has twice been forced from office with the complicity of the international community. An intelligent and engrossing examination of the oft-suppressed story of the 2004 coup d'etat in Haiti, Rossier's film investigates the events that led to the second violent expulsion of Aristide from Haiti, and reveals the tangled web of hope, deceit, and political violence that has brought the world's first black republic to its knees.

Features Aristide, Sen. Maxine Waters, Noam Chomsky, Rep. Charles Rangel and more.

1.3 million women get abortions each year in the U.S. alone. For most it is
a secret. The debate itself is loud and paralyzing while the voices of the women who get abortions are submerged. "Speak Out: I Had an Abortion," directed
by Gillian Aldrich and co-produced by Aldrich and Jennifer Baumgardner,
documents the stories of 11 women ranging in age from 21 to 85. The film cuts across race, religion, region, class, sexuality, and politics--demonstrating that abortion affects all women. Why speak out about our abortions? Every major advance in reproductive freedom was preceded by women telling the truth about their lives. Around the turn
of the century, Margaret Sanger shed light on the women who were dying early
and miserable deaths due to a lack of birth control and near-constant childbearing,
ushering in birth control. In the late 1960s, women began speaking out about
their illegal abortions, accelerating the movement for abortion rights. Women telling their stories now?when abortion is legal but still so stigmatized that it?s never discussed in polite company?could launch a new arm of the abortion rights struggle, whereby women personalize what has become a vicious and abstract debate.

It also includes appearances by many famous musicians, including Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris.

50th Anniversary - Brand New 35mm print for this American classic!

Jim Stark (James Dean) is the new kid in town. He has been in trouble elsewhere; that's why his family has had to move before. Here he hopes to find the love he doesn't get from his middle-class family. Though he finds some of this in his relation with Judy, and a form of it in both Plato's adulation and Ray's real concern for him, Jim must still prove himself to his peers in switchblade knife fights and "chickie" games in which cars race toward a seaside cliff.

"An eye-opening, often heartbreaking documentary about America's working poor. Neither hectoring nor sanctimonious,the film plays like an illustrated version of Barbara Ehrenreich's recent best seller Nickel and Dimed and has an editing style that is brisk and unexploitative."
- The New York Times

Shot over a three-year period in the northeast and California, this observational documentary captures the dreams, frustrations and accomplishments of a diverse group of people who strain to live from paycheck to paycheck. By presenting an unvarnished look at the barriers that these workers must overcome to lift their families out of poverty, Waging a Living offers a sobering view of the elusive American Dream.

DIRECTOR Q & A FOLLOWING BOTH SHOWS!

In the cinema-verite tradition, director Kathleen Man delivers a compelling adaptation of a street drama performed by village girls in rural Nepal. Sita, a beautiful young girl who lives in the remote
village of Jambu, has fallen in love with Sushil, a rickshaw driver.
But when her marriage arrangement falters, she meets a stranger who
promises her a new life in the city. Sita is faced with a choice that will change her life forever...
"Sita, A Girl from Jambu" is a human rights film about child trafficking
and sexual slavery. It was shot entirely on-location in Nepal during the escalation of the Maoist rebellion, less than a year before King
Gyanendra seized absolute power in a coup on Feb 1, 2005.

Kathleen Man is a professor of film at University of Colorado,
