In 1960, Jane Jacobs' book The Death and Life of Great American Cities sent shockwaves through the architecture and planning worlds, with its exploration of the consequences of modern planners' and architects' reconfiguration of cities. Jacobs was also an activist, who was involved in fights in mid-century New York to stop 'master builder' Robert Moses from running roughshod over the city. This film retraces the battles for the city as personified by Jacobs and Moses, as urbanization moves to the very front of the global agenda. Many of the clues for formulating solutions to the dizzying array of urban issues can be found in Jacobs' prescient text, and a close second look at her thinking and writing about cities is very much in order. This film sets out to examine the city of today through the lens of one of its greatest champions.

The Holocaust Pol Pot's Cambodia Rwanda Bosnia Darfur... and every time a U.S. President a British Prime Minister a U.N. Secretary General says Never again. Yet it happens - again and again and again... Multi-platinum Grammy-award winning rock band System of a Down's critically acclaimed political tour movie is an impassioned synthesis of concert film and political expose about the rock group's intensely personal campaign to stop genocide. Chronicling the band's efforts to persuade both the British and U.S. governments to recognize the Armenian genocide Screamers also traces the history of modern-day genocide - and genocide denial - from the first occurrence in the 20th century in Turkey to today in Darfur. Commentary and interviews with Pulitzer prize-winning author Samantha Power (A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide) survivors from Turkey Rwanda and Darfur FBI whistleblowers and the recently assassinated Hrant Dink who was murdered in Turkey after appearing in this film shed light on why genocides repeat. Passive politicians and corporate interests have conspired to turn a blind eye to genocides as they are happening. We say 'never again' but we don't mean it.
