  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
