'I know the pain,' she says. 'I've suffered my son dying, and that we can accept -- we can move on and go back to our memories. But not knowing is something very, very difficult. Some people say they have seen him in chains, but I don't know how far that is true.' Druki's family fell victim to the bloody civil war between the Tamil Tigers and Sri Lankan government forces that has been tearing the island of Sri Lanka apart for the last 17 years. But she's not alone. With more than 30 regional and ethnic conflicts taking place around the world, this program reports from Sri Lanka on the suffering of thousands of women -- widowed, displaced, detained, separated from husbands, children and other loved ones -- as a result of wars.","stream","[]","['Sri Lanka']","['Women', 'Women and war', 'Families', 'Sinhalese (Sri Lankan people)', 'Women refugees', 'Globalization', 'Children']","['Documentary films', 'Nonfiction films']","https://cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/1632593378001/9386c65e-a5ad-45eb-8a79-d7a5f6a0a2ad/42de9ccd-b2c1-4a06-a2ef-fe08beb1bbae/809x457/match/image.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://docuseek2.com/v/a/bMf6"

Government delegations in Beijing pledged themselves to tackle increasing violence against women. But in South Africa, the police and judiciary still don't regard rape and domestic violence as serious crimes--with only one in 20 rapists receiving a conviction, and the punishment for wife-killing equal to that of fraud. In Lithuania, violence takes a more subtle form, with economic hardship forcing many young women into the hands of unscrupulous traffickers who sell women into the sex industry in Europe and the Far East. This program also analyzes the soaring rate of teenage pregnancies in Scotland, while aging populations in Brazil and the UK mean that more and more old people live out the final years of their lives in poverty.

In industrialized countries, foods like flour or sugar have been fortified with it for decades. But it's not the same picture in some developing countries, where children with Vitamin A deficiency run the risk of dying from common childhood illnesses like measles. The cost of ensuring all children receive enough Vitamin A is peanuts: capsules cost just 2 cents each, but improve children's chances of survival by as much as 25%. This episode of Life looks at the prospects for two very different Vitamin A distribution programs in Ghana and Guatemala, and asks whether the best way to ensure all children have access to the nutrients that can help them lead healthy, fulfilled lives isn't new, genetically-modified crops -- like the experimental Vitamin-A modified 'golden rice' currently being developed in Professor Ingo Potrykus' lab in Switzerland, as part of an initiative supported by the Rockefeller Foundation.","stream","['ActionAid (Organization)']","['Guatemala', 'Uganda', 'India', 'Developing countries', 'Ghana']","['Children', 'Vitamin A deficiency in children', 'Rice', 'Vitamin A deficiency', 'Globalization', 'Public health', 'Crops', 'Plant genetic engineering']","['Documentary films', 'Nonfiction films']","https://cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/1632593378001/78d488b3-0037-43f9-b766-b9ad99852f91/f36210e3-8ef0-402f-bb10-8bd56c51857e/809x457/match/image.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://docuseek2.com/v/a/8Mf6"

Instead, they draw attention to the past with ""Je me souviens"" (""I remember"")--a motto that cuts to the heart of Quebec history and society. To find out just what ""Je me souviens"" means to Quebecers, director Thierry Le Brun sets off across the province, license plate in hand. He rides a dog sled, goes ice fishing, visits an emu farm, joins the Carifiesta celebrations and even gets pulled over by the cops. In the process, he meets a cast of characters--both famous and unknown--with wildly differing views on the provincial motto. Over the course of this illuminating, entertaining and funny documentary, ""Je me souviens"" becomes a Rorschach ink blot into which Quebecers peer, each bringing their own interpretation.

It is not an overstatement to say that it is the cradle of the US economy and it is for this reason that the erosion of Louisiana's wetlands is one of the greatest environmental threats the US faces today. Every hour a chunk the size of a football field is lost. Each year 25 square miles of land is gone forever, and without a mitigation strategy the marine economy, oil and gas, and even the citizens of New Orleans will be seeking refuge elsewhere in 30 years or so. This 5 part digital series chronicles the lives of individuals who are experiencing that loss in the deepest parts of the Bayou. Through them we learn that Louisiana is the canary in a coal mine for the coastal land loss that will happen worldwide. We discover how though sea level rise is one of the leading factors contributing to the issue, it is man made, unforced errors like the structural engineering of theMississippi River and oil and gas extraction that have made this location particularly vulnerable to coastal erosion. Through them we learn what the Bayou really is and what it means to the people who live there and we watch them wrestles with the survival of their home.","stream","[]","['United States', 'Louisiana']","['Wetlands', 'Climatic changes']","['Documentary films', 'Nonfiction films']","https://cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/jit/1632593378001/1e5637e3-8bdf-4878-a63c-4d6519f21ad9/main/1920x1080/27m8s917ms/match/image.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://docuseek2.com/v/a/GLf6"

Through the magic of editing and animation, Claude Jutra is seen in dialogue with himself at various stages of his life - becoming the spirited narrator of his own biography. Excerpts from family films, interviews, and clips from some of Jutra's well-known works are seamlessly intertwined with these sequences, forming a portrait of a man whose life was devoted to creativity. Jutra is simultaneously a homage, a love letter to cinema, and the dramatic story of a brilliant artist whose life was all-too-short.","stream","['Jutra, Claude']","['Québec (Province)']","['Motion picture producers and directors']","['Biographical films', 'Short films', 'Animated films']","https://cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/1632593378001/c6d891bb-19d1-401f-8233-b51f9359855e/5f43e824-75bb-4efc-98b0-9a40e8bface0/1920x1080/match/image.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://docuseek2.com/v/a/8Lf6"
