Kidnapping of Ingrid Betancourt
Ingrid, an impassioned political voice against Columbia’s corruption, was kidnapped by leftist guerilla forces. This riveting film documents her life, disappearance, and quest to free her and keep her political campaign alive.
Every Mother’s Son
This is the story of three women whose sons were killed by New York City police officers and who have transformed their personal tragedy into an opportunity to reform policing worldwide.
Dysenchanted
This blissfully amusing short film tosses Cinderella, Snow White, Dorothy, and other storybook heroines into group therapy with a modern angst-ridden woman. Do their epilogues confirm happily ever after endings?
Control Room
Filmmaker Jehane Noujaim provides a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of Al-Jazeera — the most prominent television news network in the Arab world — during the war in Iraq. Through interviews with American journalists, journalists reporting for Al-Jazeera, and high-ranking U.S. military officials, Noujaim explores the nature of media bias, Al-Jazeera’s relationship with the Arab community and the network’s perception in the Western world.
