COLUMBUS DIDN'T DISCOVER US

Indigenous Perspectives on the Columbus Legacy

A moving testimony about the impact of the Columbus legacy on the lives of indigenous peoples from across the hemisphere. Native people speak about the devastation of their cultures resulting from the European invasion, contemporary struggles over land and human rights, the importance of reviving spiritual traditions, and the need to alert the world to the environmental crises threatening the survival of the planet. Includes additional film, FROM PLYMOUTH ROCK TO STANDING ROCK. (51 minutes)

POWER STRUGGLE

Grassroots Activists Making A Difference

Filmed over five years, POWER STRUGGLE portrays the heated political battle to close the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, located on the banks of the Connecticut River in southern Vermont. The film follows the unfolding drama as citizen activists and elected state officials—alarmed at increasing safety violations—take on the federal government and one of the biggest power companies in the United States and eventually win. POWER STRUGGLE is a timely, inspiring story of democracy in action; about whether citizens’ voices will be heard against big moneyed interests, and what people are doing to make a difference for a sustainable energy future. (86 minutes)

THE PEACE PATRIOTS

A Primer on Dissent in a Time of War

Nationally broadcast on Free Speech TV. (78 minutes)

AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE

Narrated by Martin Sheen. Produced in association with HBO/Cinemax. World Premiere, Sundance Film Festival. Nationally broadcast on HBO/Cinemax, Sundance Channel, Link TV, and Free Speech TV. (90 minutes)

CHOOSE LIFE

One-Million Person Nuclear Disarmament March - 40th Anniversary

On June 12, 1982, over one-million people gathered in New York City to call for an end to the nuclear arms race. Presented in a fast-paced, up-beat style, CHOOSE LIFE captures the feeling and spirit of this historic day. “One Earth, One Humanity, One Future” reads a banner, as the camera pans across a colorful sea of people marching in front of the United Nations on their way to gather in Central Park. Americans from all walks of life are asked why they came to march: an elderly man, a union organizer, a high school student, a mother with young children. Their answers come straight from the heart: “We're here because we want to live.” “It's an issue of survival.” “Unless the people take to the streets, the governments will not act.” Forty years later, their testimonies are more timely than ever. (9 minutes)
