Hester Street 1975 ( 6.217)

Sand and Sorrow 2007 ( 6.5)

A documentary about the events that led to the rise of Darfur's Arab-dominated government and the international community's "legacy of failure" to respond to the genocide carried out in the country.

The Thick Dark Fog 2011 ( 8)

Walter Littlemoon attended a federal Indian boarding school in South Dakota sixty years ago. The mission of many of these schools in 1950, was still to “kill the Indian and save the man.” The children were beaten, humiliated or abused if they spoke their language or expressed their culture or native identity in any way. The trauma led many to alcoholism and violence in adulthood. At age 58, Walter began writing his memoirs as a way to explain his own abusive behaviors to his estranged children, but he could not complete the project without confronting the “thick dark fog” of his past so he could heal.

Halfway Home 2011

Paul Freedman's latest film profiles American servicemen and women who are struggling to readjust to life away from combat. Intimately told by veterans, their families, and those charged with their care, Halfway Home tragically affirms that the toll of war extends far beyond the battlefield. Exploring both the stigma of war-induced "mental health issues" and the negative attitudes towards their treatment, this moving documentary lends a human face to this controversial matter.
