  • LAST TRAIN HOME” by Lixin Fan
    Critical Acclaim For “LAST TRAIN HOME” By Lixin Fan “The future of global capitalism, in China and elsewhere: a family tragedy in the form of a documentary, as full of anger, dignity and pathos as a play by Arthur Miller.” — A.O. Scott, The New York Times “Moving. There’s drama, misunderstanding and heartbreaking. [This family’s] pain really hits home when you think that the pants you might be wearing could have contributed to it.” — Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post “A stunning documentary about the modern China. This is human drama, and it is real. Fan resists the urge to embellish and simply allows . [it] to unfold in front of your eyes.” — Roger EBert, Chicago Sun-Times “Beautifully explored . an exceptional documentary. An expert, unobtrusive observer, Fan disappears inside his own film and allows us to get completely inside his subjects’ lives.” — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times “A miniature masterpiece of documentary observation.” — Ty Burr, Boston Globe “Last Train Home might just break your heart.” — MSNBC.com “Today Show” Best Bets “This is essential viewing for understanding our world.” — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly “An incredibly powerful story that should be seen and discussed around the world.” — Kristin McCracken, The Huffington Post “Chinese-Canadian director Lixin Fan presents the human cost of China's economic rise in terms any parent or child can understand.” — Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune “A remarkable documentary. Gorgeously composed shots.” — G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle “A moving and near-perfect piece of art. Do not miss Last Train Home. [It] is not a travelogue, a polemic or a history lesson, but simply a story of people, told with elegance and care.

For the past forty years, the war on drugs has resulted in more than 45 million arrests, one trillion dollars in government spending, and America’s role as the world’s largest jailer. Yet for all that, drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available than ever. Filmed in more than twenty states, The House I Live In captures heart-wrenching stories from those on the front lines — from the dealer to the grieving mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal judge — and offers a penetrating look at the profound human rights implications of America’s longest war. The House I Live In premieres on Independent Lens, hosted by Stanley Tucci, on Monday, April 8, 2013 at 10 PM on PBS (check local listings). The film recognizes drug abuse as a matter of public health, and investigates the tragic errors and shortcomings that have resulted from framing it as an issue for law enforcement.

  • Critical Acclaim for ‘THE LOOK of SILENCE’ by Joshua Oppenheimer
    Critical Acclaim For ‘THE LOOK OF SILENCE’ By Joshua Oppenheimer “A painful, profoundly empathetic work of moral reckoning.” ​ ​ —A.O. Scott, The New York Times ​ ​ “A shocking and significant film, a further illumination of one of recent history's great horrors, ​ a documentary that will make a difference in the world.” ​ —Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times ​ ​ “In a way, I wish I'd never seen The Look of Silence, because now I won’t be able to forget it. But ​ ​ ​ that’s the point.” ​ —Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal ​ ​ “Profoundly shattering.” —Stephanie Merry, The Washington Post ​ ​ “Painful and unforgettable.” —Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune ​ ​ “Piercingly and authentically horrifying. a must see. arresting and important filmmaking.” ​ ​ —Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian ​ ​ “Powerful.” —Newsday ​ “Over and over in The Look of Silence, we hear people tell the filmmakers, ‘The past is past.’ The ​ ​ wound is healed, they say, and if you don’t want trouble, don’t reopen it. The movie itself proves otherwise.” —Ty Burr, The Boston Globe ​ ​ “Stunning. a high­wire achievement. [with] crushing emotional impact. The film reveals Oppenheimer to be a documentary stylist of evolving grace and sophistication.” —Guy Lodge, Variety ​ ​ “Every scene weighs on the audience. But Oppenheimer and [subject] Adi manage to locate a lightness as well that lessens the burden.” —Lenika Cruz, The Atlantic ​ ​ “The Look of Silence is perhaps even more riveting for focusing on one man’s personal search for ​ ​ answers as he bravely confronts his brother’s killers. In the end, the real value of [The Act of ​ Killing and The Look of Silence] is the anguishing new light they cast on the darkest reaches of human ​ ​ ​ evil.” —Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter ​ “Manages to burrow deep into your soul .

  • The Advo.Kit! Thanks So Much for Picking up the Kit — We Hope That You Find It to Be a Helpful Resource!
    Welcome to the Advo.kit! Thanks so much for picking up the kit — we hope that you find it to be a helpful resource! Why the Advo.kit? The Advo.kit is geared toward student and/or young activists in the U.S. who seek to ad- vance abortion rights as part of a broad range of reproductive justice issues. It includes background information on unsafe abortion in the U.S. and around the globe, the im- pact of restrictive sexual and reproductive health policies on the lives of women and girls and tips and tools for activists. We feel these materials will give students and young activists the tools they need to: 1. Provide their peers with comprehensive information on sexual and reproductive health on campus and in the classroom 2. View abortion rights as part of a broad range of global issues, including HIV/AIDS, violence, race, gender, health care and economic and social justice 3. Mobilize and take action How do I use the kit? The Advo.kit is organized into three sections that will help you organize events and edu- cate others on the importance of reproductive justice and abortion rights: 1. Tips for organizing and activism 2. Activities 3. Background and resource documents The Advo.kit is designed so that activists can select the documents as they need and then use them in whichever order or combinations suit their individual needs and audiences. For example, you could use the Plan an Event Worksheet to get started, then use the Drawing the Connections activity in your event and copy the 10 Tips for Organizing document to hand out to your participants.

  • Grzanka Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WHITE GUILT: RACE, GENDER, SEXUALITY AND EMERGENT RACISMS IN THE CONTEMPORARY UNITED STATES Patrick Ryan Grzanka, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Sheri L. Parks, Department of American Studies White guilt is a culturally and historically contingent emotion rooted in White people’s recognition of unearned privileges and collective and/or individual roles in the perpetuation of racism. Situated within the context of neoliberal multiculturalism, this interdisciplinary dissertation investigates contemporary manifestations of White guilt in popular discourse and the lived experiences of young White adults in the United States. As a form of identity-based affect, White guilt may aid in the development of antiracist White people; however, because White guilt retains a focus on the White subject, it may offer limited potential to transform social relationships and systems of inequity. Three interrelated studies compose the methodological work of this project and undertake the task of empirically grounding White guilt so that we may better understand its forms, limits and consequences. The first study interrogates journalists’ coverage of three moments of controversy in the early 21st century: Anderson Cooper’s “emotional” reporting during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Don Imus-Rutgers University basketball scandal and Isaiah Washington’s firing from Grey’s Anatomy after allegedly calling a co-star a “faggot.” Reporting on these episodes illustrates how multiculturalism manages and defers racial guilt and shame while simultaneously eliding the intersections of identity that structure experience. The second study is the creation and initial validation of a survey-based measure of White guilt (the Test of White Guilt and Shame or “TOWGAS”), which attempts to reconcile several limitations of extant research on racial affect – namely, the persistent conflation of guilt and shame.

  • Critical Acclaim for “THE OATH” by Laura Poitras
    Critical Acclaim for “THE OATH” By Laura Poitras “All that time [Laura Poitras] has spent in the danger zones of Iraq and Yemen have produced two of the most searching documentaries of the post-9/11 era, [‘My Country, My Country’ and ‘The Oath’], on-the-ground chronicles that are sensitive to both the political and the human consequences of American foreign policy.” — Dennis Lim, The New York Times “Poitras’ movie digs deep; it hints at the violently conflicting drives that an intelligent human being may be liable to.” — David Denby, The New Yorker “An incredible documentary. Very, very powerful.” — Terrell Brown, CBS News “Up to the Minute” “Finding and using [telling] moments . are Poitras' great skill . especially in having the patience to wait for the moments to emerge . to say nothing of the remarkable access she manages. Just how deep inside Jandal’s world Poitras goes is all the more striking given the . danger she faced as a female filmmaker shooting a former Al Qaeda operative in Yemen.” — Betsey Sharkey, Los Angeles Times “The complications emerging from a life devoted to jihadist revolution are considered with genuine fascination.” — Robert Koehler, Variety “The most revelatory and essential documentary of 2010.” — David Edelstein, New York Magazine “4.5 stars (out of 5). Offers a glimpse into the inner workings of Al Qaeda and the legal arms of the US military, and it scrambles all our assumptions about the post-9/11 world. ‘The Oath’ asks a lot but gives much in return.” — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe “An intriguing look at jihad and justice.
