Vera, the star attraction of The Paradise luxury brothel, is about to finally leave the institution to become the live-in mistress of the Baron Du Plessis. However, The Paradise owes money to a dangerous debt collector named Lupin, and its madam, Hortense Gaillac, is willing to resort to absolutely anything to keep her. Meanwhile, Rose, a pretty young woman engaged to be married, arrives at The Paradise in search of her mother and Hortense sees an opportunity to revive the business ... ABOUT THE SERIES Set in a lavish 19th Century Parisian bordello, the provocative and popular French erotic drama Maison Close invites American audiences into a sumptuous, stylized world where desire and power reign. Following the suppression of la Commune, a short-lived workers' revolutionary movement in the 1870s, a cast of gorgeous women trapped by circumstances reside in ""Paradise"", a top-rate ""closed house"" reserved for aristocratic or bourgeois clientele and known for its strange and refined practices during a time of legalized prostitution. Hortense (Valérie Karsenti) is the ruthless and manipulative madame who runs her business with an iron fist, Véra (Anne Charrier) is the stunning star courtesan in her 30s nearing the end of her career, and country ingénue Rose (Jemima West, Mortal Bones: The City of Instruments), arrives in search of her mother, only to be blackmailed into becoming a prostitute.

The factory is saved but the Roger family, in the grip of a curse, breaks apart and Chin has to take refuge in the mountains ... The libretto is inspired by a true story : the 1955 alliance of the communist Paul Vergès and the sugar producer René Payet to save the Quartier Français factory. ""Chin"" or ""Le Chinois (Chinese man)"" was Paul Verges's nickname as a youth because his mother was Asian. The title also calls to mind the Maoist sympathies of the decolonisation movements, as well as the presence on Reunion Island of an influential Chinese community. This theme has already been the object of a 2002 play by Vollard Theatre, as well as a TV film screenplay with Yves Boisset. A remarkable opera due to its historical libretto, Chin deals with a little-known part of French overseas départements' history : the important post-war decolonisation movement in the islands which gave rise to independentist, autonomist and Maoist-friendly tendencies. It created a tropical communism, a sugar-cane communism whose imagery found its models in Che Guevara or Fidel Castro. A contemporary opera with a hybrid musical colour, Asian sounds, and Indian Ocean rhythms, Chin's score opens up interesting and unexplored perspectives by integrating Indian, Chinese and Malagasy trends into Western classicism. The performers reflect this cultural mix, originating both from Reunion Island and other overseas French départements (Martinique, Guadeloupe), and from mainland France, Madagascar and China.","stream","[]","[]","['Operas']","['Operas', 'Filmed operas']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009251xxx/1009251039/1009251039-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3704276"

"asp3654774-marc","","Nature Inc. Conservation from chaos? Episode 14","","22 minutes","['Nature Inc']","This edition of NATURE INC. visits the Democratic Republic of Congo and finds its environment under threat from decades of conflict and lack of effective government. We look at the ways this country can rebuild its economy on a sustainable basis. A country of vast resources, the Democratic Republic of Congo has an unfortunate history of being plundered with little or no benefit returning to its people. As a colonial possession, it had the beginnings of a modern infrastructure but decades of fighting have reduced this to ruins. With a lack of effective governance, the people have now been left to fend for themselves. This means uncontrolled exploitation of its forests for charcoal and wildlife for food. The industries that remain are often highly polluting, with no environmental controls. We see chemical industries using techniques half a century old, streaming waste effluent directly into rivers.

The film makes a compelling case that the fight for LGBT rights in Black communities is an extension of the Black Freedom Struggle. Director Yoruba Richen was inspired to make the film in response to erroneous reports that African American voters caused the passage of an anti-same sex marriage initiative in the 2008 California election. The film looks at other pro and anti-gay rights campaigns over the years and how right-wing groups have used the issue to make inroads in to black communities. It culminates in the 2012 electoral efforts to preserve - or reverse - marriage equality in Maryland, a state with a substantial African American population.","stream","[]","['United States']","['African Americans', 'Homophobia', 'Same-sex marriage', 'Gay rights', 'Homosexuality', 'African American gays']","['Feature films', 'Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143499/1009143499-disc001-file001-frame00185-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644113"

Produced in 1988 near the midpoint of these dates, Mortu Nega, as its title implies, is a unique kind of elegy - not so much to the victims of the liberation struggle as to its survivors. Like the Zimbabwean film Flame (1996) and Gomes' own more disillusioned second feature Udju Azul di Yonta (1991), it is a bittersweet eulogy to those veterans who gave so much yet often benefited so little from the struggle. The film poses a question facing much of Africa at the start of the 21st century: with the goal of independence achieved, what can serve as an equally unifying and compelling vision around which to construct a new society?

City of factories","","68 minutes","[]","Carmen Durán works the graveyard shift in one of Tijuana's 800 maquiladoras; she is one of six million women around the world who labor for poverty wages in the factories of transnational corporations. After making television components all night, Carmen comes home to a dirt-floor shack she built out of cast-off garage doors from the U.S., in a neighborhood with no sewage lines or electricity. She suffers from on-the-job kidney damage and lead poisoning from her years of exposure to toxic chemicals. She earns six dollars a day on which she must support herself and her three children. Starting in the 1980s the U.S. and Mexican governments initiated a trade agreement allowing components for everything from batteries, IV tubes, toys to clothes to be imported duty-free into Mexico, assembled there and then exported back duty-free as finished consumer goods for sale in the U.S. Tijuana became known as the television capital of the world, 'TV-juana.' Globalization promised jobs, and working class Mexicans uprooted their lives to flock to the northern frontier in search of better paying work. After a decades long boom in 2001, Tijuana suffered a recession as corporations chased after even cheaper labor in Asia.  While Maquilapolis shows that globalization gives corporations the freedom to move around the world seeking cheaper labor and more lax environmental regulations, it also demonstrates how organized workers can successfully demand that the laws be enforced. Thanks to her persistence in demanding severance pay, Carmen's house now has concrete floors. And thanks to her new knowledge of labor rights, she has since taken another factory to the labor board for a violation similar to Sanyo's; she hopes one day to go to school and become a labor lawyer.  Globalization turns workers into a commodity which can be bought anywhere in the world for the lowest price. Yet they are more than a commodity; they are human beings who demand to be treated with dignity. As one of Carmen's colleagues says, ""I make objects and to the factory managers I myself am only an object, a replaceable part of a production process.

"asp3644091-marc","","Karmen Geï","","82 minutes","[]","Director Joseph Gaï Ramaka writes: ""Carmen is a myth but what does Carmen represent today? Where do Carmen's love and freedom stand at the onset of the 21st Century? Therein lies my film's intent, a black Carmen, plunged in the magical and chaotic urbanity of an African city."" Prosper Merimée's novella, adapted in Bizet's celebrated opera, has already received 52 film interpretations, most notably the all black Carmen Jones, starring Dorothy Dandridge, and, more recently, Carlos Saura's flamenco Carmen and Jean-Luc Godard's B-movie version Pré Nom Carmen. Yet Karmen Geï is the first African Carmen and, arguably, the first African filmed ""musical."" Accordingly, Gaï Ramaka has completely replaced Bizet's score and the usual staging with indigenous Senegalese music and choreography: Doudou N'Diaye Rose's sabar drummers, Julien Jouga's choir, El Hadj Ndiaye's songs and Yandé Coudou Sène's prophetic voice. Saxophonist David Murray's contemporary jazz score runs like a thread of unfulfilled desire through the film. Karmen Geï may convince viewers that this African ambiance is what the Carmen legend, perhaps leading back through Andalusia to its African roots, has been waiting for all these years. Like every Carmen, Karmen Geï is about the conflict between infinite desire for freedom and the laws, conventions, languages, the human limitations which constrain that desire. Since this is an African Carmen, freedom necessarily has a political dimension. The opening scene is set in a women's prison on Goree Island, site of the notorious slave castle. Karmen and the women in the prison use dance and music as a weapon of resistance against dehumanizing regimentation as has so often been the case throughout the African Diaspora. Karmen's outrageously provocative performance seduces Angelique, the warden, the symbol of authority, inverting the power relationships within the prison. Karmen literally transforms prison life into a musical production number celebrating the triumph of her sexuality and that of the other women. Karmen is called, ""She who wreaks havoc,"" signifying that she is both a liberator and a destroyer of every order.

"asp3644085-marc","","Guimba. Un tyran, une époque a tyrant in his time","","94 minutes","[]","Winner of the most prestigious award in African cinema, the Grand Prize at FESPACO '95, Guimba has been acclaimed as one of the most visually ravishing African films ever made. This epic allegory contrasts Africa's tremendous wealth and potential with its present poverty and plunder. Director Cheick Oumar Sissoko comments, ""Guimba is a political film, a fable about power, its atrocities and its absurdities. I was personally influenced by what I experienced not long ago in Mali, but the ravages of power are, unfortunately, universal."" The story has obvious parallels with the 1991 overthrow of Malian dictator Moussa Traore in which Sissoko was active. Guimba tells the timeless tale of a tyrant's hubris and his downfall at the hands of his people, reminiscent of MacBeth or Richard III. The film's narrative embodies the process of revealing the truth from behind the facade of despotic power. For Guimba, the prince of a once prosperous trading city, the key to power is spectacle: humiliating court rituals, arbitrary displays of wrath, occult powers, even the terrifying mask which always covers his face. Guimba's authority begins to crumble when he demands that a nobleman divorce his wife so that his own son, the physical and moral dwarf, Janginé, can marry her. This ludicrous demand reveals him to the townspeople as a unrestrained beast not a prince; they jeer and defy him and abandon the city to join a rebel force. Isolated, his magic powers exhausted, driven-mad, Guimba is left with no alternative but to commit suicide. Guimba is thus a story of the restoration of truth and legitimate authority to Djenné, the legendary city where the film was shot, and, allegorically, of democratic, ""transparent"" government to present-day Africa. In its opulence and epic scale, Guimba recalls and calls for the return of the continent's own former greatness and prosperity. Even, the film's striking costumes (themselves simultaneously veilings and statements) occasioned the revival of several traditional Malian textile crafts.Sissoko notes that in Guimba he adapted to film two traditional Malian types of discourse used to ""speak truth to power:"" kotéba, a popular form of satiric street theatre, and baro, a virtuoso kind of public oratory. Thus Sissoko creates through his film not just an allegory of present-day African politics but a community of viewers prepared to mock illicit power whatever its trappings.","stream","[]","['Africa, West']","['Dictators']","['Feature films', 'Political films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143484/1009143484-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644085"

Le grand blanc de Lambaréné","","89 minutes","['Library of African cinema']","Cameroonian filmmaker Bassek ba Kobhio provides a fascinating revisionist perspective on Albert Schweitzer, Noble Peace Prize winner and secular saint of the colonial era. Like Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask, this film begins to rewrite the history of colonialism from the point of view of the colonized. Le Grand Blanc de Lambaréné is not, however, a facile exercise in iconoclasm but rather a deeply-felt lament for a missed opportunity, for a cross-cultural encounter between Africa and Europe which never happened. Shot on the site of Schweitzer's hospital in Gabon, Bassek ba Kobhio elicits psychologically complex portrayals from his actors as he did in his earlier California Newsreel release, Sango Malo. Behind Schweitzer's impenetrable reserve, Ba Kobhio discovers a man blinded to the people around him by his own spiritual self-absorption and arrogance. For Schweitzer to see himself as a stern but loving father, he had to cast Africans as childlike primitives whom he could protect from the temptations of modernity. He even refused to install electrical generators or institute modern sanitation in his hospital's wards. In the film, an African boy Schweitzer discouraged from becoming a doctor, returns with his degree and rebukes him: ""The independence of the people has never been your concern. You only wanted to share their hell in the hope of reaching your heaven.""The film reveals that the ultimate tragedy of colonialism may have been its refusal to see and value the colonized as autonomous, creative human beings. Schweitzer knew numerous European languages but never learned to speak the local tongue; he was an accomplished organist and Bach scholar who never evinced any interest in African music. Ba Kobhio represents the richness of Africa through Bissa, a beautiful concubine the local chief gives le Grand Blanc.Though clearly tempted, Schweitzer remains aloof; only at his death does he invite her to sleep in his bed rather than on a mat. The film's epigraph, ironically, is a famous remark by Schweitzer himself: ""All we can do is allow others to discover us, as we discover them.""","stream","['Schweitzer, Albert']","['Gabon']","['Missionaries, Medical']","['Feature films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143483/1009143483-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644083"

"asp3644071-marc","","Flame","","88 minutes","[]","Human Rights Watch Nestor Almendros Award. Flame is perhaps the most controversial film ever made in Africa -- certainly the only one to be seized by the police during editing on the grounds it was subversive and pornographic. Ingrid Sinclair's moving tribute to women fighters in the Zimbabwean liberation struggle aroused the ire of war veterans and the military because it revealed officers sometimes used female recruits as ""comfort women."" Flame's real crime may have been that it exposed not just past abuses but continuing divisions within Zimbabwean society. Many of the groups which fought hardest during the freedom struggle, for example, women and peasants, have been left behind in the post-revolutionary period; for them the revolution is still not completed. Flame provides an important and by no means unambiguous case study of who will control not only the depiction of the African past but also the African present. Director Ingrid Sinclair explains, ""Fighting women are my heroes ... I used the independence struggle as a metaphor for the struggle for personal independence of all women."" Originally conceived as a documentary, Flame had to be made as a fiction film because none of the seven women on whose experience it was based dared discuss sexual abuse on camera. Sinclair stresses that their experience is not the whole story of the Chimurenga or liberation war: ""Flame presents only the views of one group of people ... Its legitimacy rests on whether it reflects that group's view rather than pretends to represent everyone's views - or worse be objective."" It is, nonetheless, not surprising that male war veterans and current military leaders like Comrade Bornwell Chakaodza, Director of Information for the Zimbabwean Defense Forces, were outraged: ""The film's failure to balance the negative scenes of the freedom fighters with their resilience and values suggests an insidious attempt to make sure future generations will have no sense of their gallantry."" The fact that this, the first feature film on the Chimurenga, was directed by a woman and a white woman at that (albeit a long-time supporter of the Zimbabwean struggle) must only have aggravated their resentment. Even a woman ex-combatant commented, ""If the war had been about rape, we would not have fought or won it."" But another supported the film: ""I, Freedom Nyamubaya, was raped and that is the truth. A society which denies the truth cannot move forward."" To the credit of all involved, the film was released and the directors made some minor changes. Viewers can now decide for themselves whether the finished film reflects both the successes and unfinished tasks of this crucial phase of African history. Flame is the story of two close friends whose involvement in the liberation struggle lead to very different outcomes. Florence, impulsive and brave, and Nyasha, scholarly and cautious, are scarcely more than children when they run away from their village to join the liberation forces in 1975. After a harrowing trek to the rebel camps in Mozambique, they adopt their new guerilla identities: Nyasha becomes Liberty, representing her desire for independence, while Florence selects Flame, symbolizing her passion.The film accurately reconstructs conditions in the rebel camps: the extreme hardship and constant danger but also the unprecedented opportunities offered women for education and leadership. At the same time, it shows that leaders like the charismatic young political commissar, Comrade Che, often assumed that women would be available to them. When Flame resists his advances, he rapes her leaving her pregnant. But even Che is not portrayed one-dimensionally; he genuinely inspires his troops through political education and, after he apologizes to Flame, she (improbably) does not hesitate to become his lover. She is devastated when he and their infant son are killed in an aerial bombardment. After that, she has nothing to live for but combat and becomes a legendary leader of the Chimure.","stream","[]","['Zimbabwe']","['Women soldiers', 'National liberation movements']","['Feature films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143477/1009143477-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644071"
"asp3644069-marc","","5 factories. Worker control in Venezuela","","81 minutes","[]","5 Factories provides a penetrating look at the Bolivarian socio-economic project designed to challenge the dominant neo-liberal development model. Since the election of Hugo Chávez in 1998, the Venezuelan government has implemented reforms to transform the nation into what Chávez and his supporters refer to as a form of democratic socialism. As a component of this economic transformation, the government has supported co-ownership initiatives in which workers’ councils play a key role in company management. 5 Factories provides a unique perspective on the Bolivarian experiment, examining the successes and challenges of five companies rejecting traditional ideas of industrial management. 5 Factories takes the viewer inside factories producing aluminum, paper, cocoa, tomato sauce, and cotton. These factories, many of which had been driven into bankruptcy by their former owners, have been transformed into cooperative partnerships between the workers and the state in co-management arrangements. In many cases, the Chávez government nationalized the companies and provided the workers with loans to purchase them in this co-managent arrangement with the government. According to these agreements, the state will increasingly rescind control as the debt is repaid. State officials explain that, while the state is involved in the process, the goal is not to create a Soviet-style system, where the state owns the means of production. Such a system, it is pointed out, is not socialism at all, but rather state-capitalism, an altogether different project from that being created in Venezuela. Internally, the companies’ decision-making structures are characterized by a lack of hierarchy. Teams of managers are elected by the workers and, in all cases, the work is organized from the bottom-up rather than top-down by management. In one example, the Alcasa aluminum factory workers develop budgets and elect managers and departmental delegates who work together on production issues. We hear from numerous officials and regular workers who stress the importance of including workers and the rest of society in the current process of social transformation. An important component involves integrating the different economic sectors so that they work cooperatively, maximizing benefits to society. Officials point out how, in the past, the agricultural sector was oriented towards the more profitable export markets. The new paradigm, however, links the country’s agricultural and productive sectors to create higher value-added products for local consumption. One official discusses how the success of such a revolutionary project requires completely re-conceptualizing workers’ roles and their relationship to their work and to society. Workers echo the goal of designing companies to serve the community, pointing out how they have created company dining halls and health clinics that are open to the poor children of the community. Officials concede, however, that many challenges lie ahead for the Bolivarian experiment. Carlos Lanz, director of the state-owned Alcasa factory, explains that perhaps the largest challenge is determining how to move towards democratic socialism within a capitalist framework. Noting that the capitalist structure rests on individual gain, a worker explains how the new system must be based on the belief that production should serve the needs of all members of society. 5 Factories serves as a valuable instructional tool for generating discussions on the viability of alternatives to the current neo-liberal orthodoxy, as well as the political and economic trends sweeping through Latin America.","stream","[]","['Venezuela']","['Industrial management', 'Industries']","['Feature films', 'Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143476/1009143476-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644069"

"asp3644065-marc","","Library of African cinema. Dribbling fate. Fintar o destino","","76 minutes","['Library of African cinema']","Fintar O Destino has the distinction of being the Library of African Cinema's first sports film - but a sports film with a decidedly African twist. It is the story, familiar from countless Hollywood movies and therefore easily accessible to American audiences, of an over the hill sports hero who holds onto his past so strongly he destroys his present. Think of Marlon Brando's famous lament from On the Waterfront, ""I could've been a contender."" At the same time, this film explores a much more general tension, personal and political, between remaining true to one's dreams or making the best of the limited opportunities around us. In Fintar o Destino this dilemma is posed in terms of an entire nation: whether Cape Verdeans should accept life on these isolated islands or should pursue their often unrealistic ambitions overseas. Indeed, this is a conflict faced by more and more people in the poorer countries of an increasingly mobile world. In Fintar O Destino character and fate are geographic, bound up with the unique history of the Cape Verde Islands. These ten volcanic islands located three hundred miles off the most westerly point of Africa were uninhabited until the Portuguese discovered them in 1462. They soon grew into a bustling port of call between Africa, Europe and the Americas developing a highly Creolized mulatto population. Since the islands have never been economically self-sufficient, emigration has been a central fact of Cape Verdeans' lives; islanders have established communities around the Atlantic, the largest one in southern New England. Cape Verdeans, most notably Amilcar Cabral, played a leading role in the liberation of their islands and Guinea-Bissau from Portuguese rule in 1973, as dramatized in another new lusophone release, Mortu Nega. But independence could not overcome financial dependency: today a majority of islanders live abroad and remittances from the West play a major role in the fragile economy. In the film, an old schoolteacher observes that ""on an island men fear staying more than leaving."" Perhaps this is the ""dribbling fate"" of the title, the islanders' sense of just passing time, waiting for the big chance to move. For many young men, the most exciting, if not realistic route off the island is to become a sports star, the illusory promise followed by so many inner city youth in this country, poignantly depicted in Hoop Dreams. The film's opening shot symbolizes this as we see a boy hoeing the island's arid volcanic soil only to realize he is actually marking out a soccer field. For the older men who have not found a way off the island, the only remaining escape is to live vicariously through the fortunes of their favorite team ignoring the mundane life all around them. The central character of the film, Mané, owns an unprofitable ""sports bar"" in Mindelo on the island of Saö Vicente, whose denizens are overgrown adolescents seemingly with little to do but root for Benfica, a major Portuguese team. Mané actually turned down an invitation to try out for Benfica in 1959 in order to marry a local girl; as a result his whole life has been consumed by regret, sinking into alcoholism, improvidence and an unhappy marriage. His situation finds an echo in the younger generation with Kalu, a talented teenager Mané is coaching who must decide whether to continue his rigorous training, emigrate to America or pursue a beautiful island ingenue. Mané develops an obsession that the only way Benfica can win the national championships is if he is present in the stadium in Lisbon. He steals money which his wife has painstakingly been saving, abandons her at home and flies to Portugal where he inevitably learns the lesson that it is always dangerous to test one's dreams against reality. In Portugal, he looks up an old friend, Americo, who accepted an invitation to play for Benfica and who has become something of a legend in Mindelo. Mané finds him a broken man living in a shack by the Tagus who pitifully asks him for change. In Lisbon, Mané stays with his upwardly mobile son, Alberto and his Portuguese wife. Alberto confesses he has always resented his father for neglecting his wife and children in favor of his soccer fanaticism. When Mané tries to compensate by attending his grandson's birthday party, he misses the big game; Benfica wins anyhow.","stream","[]","['Cabo Verde']","['Soccer players', 'Middle-aged men', 'Soccer']","['Feature films', 'Sports films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143474/1009143474-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644065"

"asp3644059-marc","","Fathers. A barber's wisdom","","28 minutes","['Fathers']","A Barber's Wisdom is a short farce showing what Nigerian filmmakers can do when not restricted by commercial concerns; the cinematographer is the director of our other new Nigerian release, Thunderbolt. In contrast to Surrender, the father here is ridiculed not for being too traditional but for not being traditional enough, for failing his responsibility to protect his family and uphold morality. Amadou is a barber whose business is so slow his formidable wife, Stella, has had to become the primary breadwinner by selling grilled fish. After a visit to the city, Amadou decides to modernize his shop to attract the hip younger generation. Apart from rap music, the principal new attractions are his two daughters, provocatively dressed like Lil' Kim and Jennifer Lopez. Stella is outraged that he is in a sense pimping his own daughters, but Amadou will do anything to make money. He only sees the light after one of them tells him that she has become pregnant. When we last see him, he is burning the city clothes and the women are again in traditional dress. Unlike Zanzibar in Surrender, the society depicted in A Barber's Wisdom is rushing headlong toward modernity; references to a global television culture abound, and the pursuit of profit has encroached on every other value. The film's humor stems from the contrast between Amadou's presumptions of patriarchal authority and his craven exploitation of his own family. Behind this, one feels, is a more general indictment of Nigerian society, its often corrupt leaders and its ""anything goes"" economy.","stream","[]","['Africa']","['Fathers', 'Patriarchy', 'Fathers and daughters']","['Short films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143471/1009143471-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644059"

Although they are clearly in their 20s, they spend their days at play on the white sand beaches of Zanzibar. Amri's father is distressed that his son is so reluctant to assume his adult responsibilities as a father and businessman. He arranges a marriage to a friend's daughter, Zaitun, and is outraged when Amri announces that he finds her boring and unattractive. He bars Amri from their house and warns Moshua not to speak to him. Isolated, Amri surrenders to the demands of paternal authority, marries and produces the grandson his father wants.

Although Amri's father clearly regards his son's relationship with Moshua as unhealthy, in this context there is no suggestion that it is anything but an excessive prolongation of childhood. Sex and marriage are not expected to result from romantic desire or psychological urges but from participation as an adult in the larger community. The film's tone and rhythm are determined by the formalities which dictate every aspect of daily life, including Amri's relationship with his father.

"asp3644051-marc","","Ezra","","105 minutes","[]","Ezra is the first film to give an African perspective on the disturbing phenomenon of abducting child soldiers into the continent’s recent civil wars. It was awarded the Grand Prize at the 2007 Festival Panafricain du Cinema à Ouagadougou (FESPACO), Africa’s largest and most prestigious film event, and was selected for the International Critics Week at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Ezra stands out among other African films because it is a complex psychological study, not just of the brutalizing, healing and reintegration into society of one of thousands of traumatized former child soldiers, but also as a key for reconstructing these societies themselves. Ezra is structured around the week-long questioning of a 16 year old boy, Ezra, before a version of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, created in Sierra Leone in 2002 in the wake of its decade long civil war. This hearing is then inter-cut with chronological flashbacks to pivotal moments during Ezra’s ten years in the rebel faction which made him who he is. These commissions, based on the idea of transitional justice and modeled on the one in South Africa, were meant not to be punitive but restorative and therapeutic, both for the violated and the violators. Only after Ezra confronts his crimes, how he came to commit them and repents, will he be ready to rejoin society as well as make peace with himself. In a sense, the audience is placed in the position of the judges, initially seeing Ezra only in terms of his crimes against humanity, but, gradually coming to realize he is more a victim than a victimizer. The 16 year old Ezra who appears before the tribunal is an unsympathetic, angry, deeply disturbed young man. He takes no responsibility for the atrocities he committed, rationalizing that he was a soldier, and soldiers kill, so why should he be brought before the Commission? He falls back on political justifications, arguing that he was just a fighter for equality and against corruption in Sierra Leone. He is in such deep denial about his past crimes that he suffers from amnesia; some might label him as suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.The film begins, however, by showing us another Ezra, a carefree six year old on his way to school on a calm summer morning, July 13, 1992. Just as class begins, the quiet erupts into mayhem, as a squad of insurgents, firing machine guns, bursts into the schoolyard and randomly kidnaps a dozen children, including Ezra. When one boy begins to cry, he is shot without a second thought, further terrorizing the children. They immediately set out on an exhausting, day and night, forced march, swallowed up by the dense, disorienting jungle, until they reach the distant rebel camp. There they confront the intimidating warlord, Rufus, who, like any effective totalitarian, immediately begins to strip them of their old identities to impose a new one on them. He orders them to forget their past, forget religion, forget their families: from now on the Brotherhood is their only family, they are reborn as warriors, to fight and die for the cause. He rallies them to destroy the corrupt governing elite which had, in fact, colluded with Western diamond interests for thirty years to steal the nation’s vast wealth from its impoverished people.The story then skips forward; Ezra is now a teenager, armed with an AK 47, the leader of a rebel battalion, totally immersed in the culture of the Brotherhood, his peers substituting for his family, as gangs do in our own inner cities. The government has called an election and the rebels have declared anyone who votes an ‘enemy of the people.’ Their slogan, ‘No Hands, No Vote,’ gave rise to one of the most heinous and distinctive crimes of Sierra Leone’s civil war: the mass amputation of people’s hands. On January 6, 1999, Ezra’s battalion is ordered to attack and exterminate three villages. Each soldier is injected with methamphetamines and they begin a ruthless, four-day rampage, their brains exploding.","stream","[]","['Sierra Leone']","['Truth commissions', 'Child soldiers']","['Feature films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143467/1009143467-disc001-file001-frame00060-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644051"
"asp3644049-marc","","Library of African cinema. Everyone's child","","83 minutes","['Library of African cinema']","Everyone's Child is an eloquent call for action on behalf of Africa's millions of parentless children. Through the tragic story of one Zimbabwean family devastated by AIDS, the film challenges Africans to reaffirm their tradition that an orphan becomes ""Everyone's Child."" Everyone's Child is the most recent production from Zimbabwe's Media for Development Trust (MFD). This prolific production company represents one significant trend among African filmmakers: producing feature films to intervene explicitly in urgent social issues. For example, MFD's first feature, Neria, which called on women to exercise their newly won legal rights against patriarchal custom, broke box office records so that eventually one in three Zimbabweans saw it. Everyone's Child was produced in direct response to the prediction that by the year 2000 there will be over 10,000,000 AIDS orphans on the African continent. At the same time, the film focuses attention on millions of other children left homeless by civil wars or abandoned because their parents could not support them. MFD first conceived Everyone's Child as a training tape for community-based orphan care programs. But the rapid spread of AIDS made the problem so acute they felt only a feature film could place the issue at the forefront of the national agenda. For their production team, MFD drew on some of the most creative young talent in Zimbabwe.The script was based on a story by novelist Shimmer Chinodya, author of Harvest of Thorns, and was directed by Tsitsi Dangarembga, author of the novel Nervous Condition. The exceptional soundtrack features 12 original songs by Zimbabwe's most popular musicians, including Thomas Mapfumo, Leonard Zhakata and Andy ""Tomato Sauce"" Brown. Leading Zimbabwean actors star in the film, but many of the younger roles were played by actual streetchildren trained in a special workshop. Everyone's Child tells the story of four siblings, Itai, Tamari, Norah and Nhamo, whose parents have both died of AIDS. After a traditional funeral, the villagers, ignoring custom, shun the orphans because of the stigma of AIDS. Their guardian, Uncle Ozias, a struggling small businessman, sells the family's plow and oxen to pay off their father's debts. Without the means to support themselves, the family inevitably disintegrates.Itai, the eldest brother, chasing empty promises of high-paying jobs, leaves for Harare where, alone and penniless, he inevitably takes up with a gang of homeless boys. Their clothes, music and attitudes identify them as belonging to an international fraternity of forgotten youth who look to each other for family and to crime for a living.Itai's sister, Tamari, played with moving vulnerability by Nomsa Mlambo, is left to care for her younger brother and sister. Unable to afford food, deprived of affection, she is an easy victim for the predatory shopkeeper, Mdara Shaghi. The other villagers ostracize her as a prostitute and we can't help worrying that her promiscuous ""benefactor"" may be exposing her to HIV infection. One night, Shaghi brutally forces Tamari to leave the two younger children alone and accompany him to a club. In her absence their house catches fire and the younger brother, Nhamo, burns to death. Only the charred remnants of his toy helicopter remain, symbolizing the ruined dreams and promise of so many of Africa's young people. Nhamo's death finally convinces Uncle Ozias and the other villagers of their responsibility to help the three remaining children rebuild their lives. Everyone's Child offers its audience no easy answers: an official of an NGO tells the villagers that the problem of orphans is so wide-spread they cannot look to outside agencies or government for relief but must create their own self-reliant solutions.The audience watches this painful tragedy unfold knowing there is no one but adult society (in other words themselves) who can save children like these. As the now familiar African proverb says: ""It takes a village to raise a child"".","stream","[]","['Zimbabwe']","['AIDS phobia', 'Orphans']","['Feature films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143466/1009143466-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644049"
"asp3644047-marc","","End of the rainbow","","83 minutes","[]","End of the Rainbow provides a concise, in-depth look at the impact of global extractive industries on local populations, their economy, their traditions and their environment. It depicts in striking details the confrontation of two cultures, one indigenous the other a unique reflection of the age of globalization. The film uses a gold mine in Guinea to explore whether concessions granted to transnational corporations are in the interest of the companies, the governing elite or the local community. In 2005, the government of Lansana Conté, President of Guinea since 1984, sold its interest in one of the richest remaining gold fields in the world to an Anglo-Canadian combine. Guinea, a one party state often cited for its corruption, has under World Bank tutelage conducted an extensive program of privatization, foreign investment and structural adjustment policies. While the royalty arrangement between the corporation and the government remains a mystery, it is known that the local population receives only 0.4% of the profits from the mine. The film begins with the piece-by-piece dismantling and reconstruction of a massive gold mining operation from Borneo to a site in northeastern Guinea, 450 miles from the capital Conakry, close to the Malian border. Nothing could illustrate more vividly the mobility of global capital and the contrasting technological power of industrial and pre-industrial societies. We are guided through these two worlds by the chief of the village where the mine is located and the English chief engineer of the mine. The village had been an agrarian community where families scrapped a living from the ground with short-handled hoes. In the dry season they would earn extra income panning for grains of gold in the hope of buying livestock. Whole villages had to be relocated and bulldozed by the government to make way for the mine, though the company compensated the farmers for their holdings, several were unwilling to leave. Some of the local men received well-paying jobs at the mine; even schoolteachers took jobs as laborers. Discos opened in the village and the miners began to adapt to an international consumer lifestyle. The chief is wary but hopes the mine will bring prosperity to his people. He has high expectations; he believes that whites always keep their promises but he doesn't know at what price. He says Africans only used gold for its beauty whereas whites know how to use it in their machines. His people worked together in a subsistence economy based on the family and the village; now everyone is interested only in earning a wage. He accepts that he represents a passing order, ""Everyone has his time."" His English counterpart and his international team of expats create an ersatz culture of their own in a fenced-off enclosure. The center of life is a whites-only pub equipped with satellite television tuned to the sports channel, copious liquor and the flags of a dozen nations. The mine manager ruefully admits that he lives only for the moment, has no home, no savings, no family and no hobby but his work. He and the other whites are full-fledged citizens of the new global economy; perhaps a harbinger of things to come. Conflict breaks out soon as a drought brings hunger to the village. There is no way for the farmers to eke out a living except through panning or digging for gold. But now the company owns the gold fields. And they have dynamited the once tranquil landscape into a huge Dantesque mining pit fouled by poisonous, cyanide-laced water, in constant danger of cave-ins. One man recollects the trauma of hearing that his wife has ""been killed by the mine,"" buried in a mudslide looking for illicit gold. The mine is determined to keep the locals out, ostensibly on safety grounds. The actual enforcement of company policies is left in the hands of the Guinean army, a key condition of the concession agreement. The soldiers are shockingly abusive to their fellow citizens, as mine officials look on impassive.","stream","[]","['Guinea']","['Gold mines and mining', 'Globalization', 'International business enterprises']","['Feature films', 'Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143465/1009143465-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644047"
"asp3644045-marc","","Library of African cinema. Dôlè","","77 minutes","['Library of African cinema']","Dôlè offers a Gabonese perspective on the global crisis facing today's youth. With familial and societal structures crumbling, young people are increasingly thrown back for support on each other and an all-encompassing international pop culture. This film reveals that, whether in Libreville or in our own inner cities and suburbs the underlying causes of youthful disaffection can be remarkably similar. With Ça twiste à Poponguine, Dôlè provides one of the most affectionate and affecting portraits of African youth poised precariously on the cusp of modernity. Winner of the first-place Gold Tanit at the 2000 Carthage Film Festival, It has already been widely compared to François Truffaut's iconic coming of age film -- a kind of ""Le quatre cents coups"" in Gabon. Dôlè begins not with plot but with performance. On a rooftop overlooking the city, in a scene which could happen anywhere, a group of young men vent their frustrations in instantly recognizable rhythms. Performing only for themselves, they aggressively search for an identity through the universal patois of hip-hop. When they plot a robbery to obtain one of the necessary accoutrements of that lifestyle, what they call un ghettoblaster, one cannot help but wonder if the image is reflecting reality or has begun to determine the reality.This begs the question: What does it mean to be ""real"" if this is essentially a pose, one stance among many for approaching a particular reality? The main character, Mougler, seems almost to be a sociological study of a ghetto youth slipping into a life of petty crime. As is so often the case, there is an absent male figure, a dissolute father who has abandoned his family; there is also a strong, long-suffering mother who, however, is slowly dying from an unspecified disease. The larger society represented by school does not appear to offer Mougler any better support system. Once an outstanding student, he now affects the truculent stance of a gangbanger, reading rap magazines rather than his texts in class. Mougler finds an alternative to family and school among his peers, specifically in a not very intimidating gang. The four boys in his group are each following an unrealistic or at least unlikely path out of poverty and obscurity. Joker is still young enough to live out his fantasies through toy boats and tales of buried treasure. Baby Lee, the gang leader, dreams of becoming a rap star. Akson, like so many poor boys before him, looks to prize fighting as his route to fame and fortune. Mougler's mother has given him a name ""that sounds like a movie star"" as a talisman for success. For the millions of people like Mougler living on the margins of the emerging global economy, a lottery can seem like their only hope for financial success. Looked at in this light, a lottery is a kind of travesty of a healthy economy, where the connection between work and material rewards has become purely a matter of luck. In Le Franc, Djibril Diop Mambety used the lottery to symbolize the dependent relationship between Africa and international finance capital. In Dôlè we see how the media cynically collaborate with the lottery to divert desperate people's economic aspirations into a spectacle, a contemporary combination of ""bread and circuses."" When Mougler urgently needs money to buy medicine for his mother, he decides to up the stakes and even the odds by robbing the cash box at the lottery kiosk. What has up until now been a fairly light-hearted look at the follies of youth suddenly turns somber. The kiosk has an armed guard, nicknamed ""Rambo,"" who kills Baby Lee in the heist (what makes the situation so dangerous is that pop fiction and reality interpenetrate everywhere in this world). Although Mougler succeeds in purchasing the medicine, it comes too late to save his mother. Dôlè ends, however, not with this denouement but with a dream. It is as if the filmmaker cannot bring himself to consign his young cast to its dreary fate. In a coda or epilogue, the scene shifts abruptly from the congested city to the open sea; Mougler and his friends relax on the deck of a ship slicing through the water. The ship belongs to Mougler's Uncle Charlie, the positive male role model in his life. The director even draws attention to the arbitrariness of this ending by having Baby Lee magically reappear from the dead through a hatch. As a final gesture, Mougler throws a lottery ticket into the sea because he ""doesn't want to lose anymore."" Perhaps he is remembering Uncle Charlie's observation: ""There are two kinds of people in the world; those whose destiny is shaped by events and those who shape their own destiny.""","stream","[]","['Gabon']","['Teenage boys', 'Juvenile delinquents', 'Male friendship']","['Feature films', 'Juvenile delinquency films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143464/1009143464-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644045"
"asp3644043-marc","","Dirt & deeds in Mississippi","","83 minutes","[]","Dirt And Deeds In Mississippi uncovers the largely unknown and pivotal role played by Black landowning families in the deep South who controlled over a million acres in the 1960s. They were prepared to put their land and their lives on the line in the fight for racial equality and the right to vote in America’s most segregated and violently racist state. In the face of escalating terror, Black landowners and independent farmers provided safe havens, collateral for jail bonds, armed protection and locations for Freedom Schools.They were often the first to attempt to register to vote and run for public office. Dirt And Deeds in Mississippi reveals the extraordinary story of a Delta community called Mileston in which 100 sharecropping families gained control of 10,000 acres of some of the best land in the state as a result of a radical New Deal era experiment in the 1930’s and in turn, became leaders of the movement in the 1960s. The film also presents new information about the infamous case of the three young activists murdered during Freedom Summer in 1964. Narrated by Danny Glover and winner of a Television Academy Award, Dirt And Deeds In Mississippi tells how an independent farmer and teacher who came to own the land on which his great-grandparents were slaves became the first Black candidate elected to a state-wide office in Mississippi in the 20th century.","stream","[]","['Mississippi', 'Southern States']","['African American farmers', 'African Americans']","['Feature films', 'Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143463/1009143463-disc001-file001-frame00065-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644043"
"asp3644041-marc","","The debt of dictators","","45 minutes","[]","The Debt of Dictators is the first film to expose the nefarious lending of billions of dollars by multinational banks and international financial institutions to brutal dictators throughout the world. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, asserts that transnational banks “know the price of everything, but have no values”. Debt of Dictators reveals the impoverishment resulting from the odious debts incurred to multinational lending institutions by these dictators. The film transports viewers to Argentina, South Africa, and the Philippines, where they come face to face with those suffering from the sacrifice of essential social services in order to repay these illegitimate debts. The film begins in the slums of Buenos Aires, where the poor and starving are seen digging through trash, searching for food. While Argentina used to be the seventh richest country in the world, today nearly 50% of the population lives below the poverty line and close to sixty children die from poverty related causes everyday. One reason for this is the $168 billion in foreign debt accrued by the military junta that came to power in the 1976 coup. More than 70,000 people were brutally tortured, killed, or disappeared during this rule. In spite of this, major banks and lending institutions lined up to offer loans to the military leaders, increasing the Argentine debt by 600%.Today the Argentine government pays more in interest to service these loans than it does on health, education, and welfare combined. The filmmakers next go inside today’s South Africa and find conditions of abject poverty, worsened by debt incurred by the Apartheid regime, largely to prop up the apartheid machinery. When Nelson Mandela marched out of prison in 1990, the international banks presented him with a bill for $21 billion. The present South African government is determined to repay these debts in order to continue to attract foreign investment. Since 1994, the South African government has spent more than 500 billion rand servicing foreign debt and more than five times as much as on essential services. Furthermore, the privatization of essential services required by international lending agencies such as the IMF has exponentially raised prices, thereby restricting access to essentials such as water and electricity by the nation’s poor. Finally, the viewer is transported to the slums of Manila, where children who cannot afford to go to school are shown peddling trinkets in the town market. They live in shacks with no water or electricity, lacking even basic health services. After Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in 1976, imprisoning, torturing, and killing more than 30,000 in the process, lending institutions still lined up to offer loans, resulting in the more than $56 billion in foreign debt currently owed by the Philippines. Most of the money was spent personally enriching Marcos and his cronies for commissioning projects in exchange for kickbacks, which were useless, and often never completed. 70% of the Philippine population now lives below the poverty line and nearly 1/3 of all children suffer from malnutrition. One third of the national budget has been allocated to service this debt, largely to avoid investigation which might reveal the ‘disappearance’ of the borrowed funds into the pockets of those previously aligned with Marcos’ regime, which are still in the Congress. The film makes clear that multinational lending institutions systematically subverted human rights and democratic principles to profits and the imposition of neo-liberal economic policies. As activists, including representatives of the Jubilee Campaign, vehemently argue in the film, the time has come to forgive these unjust debts in order to ameliorate the suffering of the world’s poor, who are unwitting victims of the relationships fostered by corrupt dictators and the institutions that profited from their rule.","stream","[]","['Developing countries']","['Debts, Public', 'Loans, Foreign']","['Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143462/1009143462-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644041"
"asp3644039-marc","","Daresalam","","101 minutes","[]","Our heads are not just for holding gourds Nor our arms just for holding weapons. We cannot waste energy wiping away our own blood - A. Balou. Daresalam is the first African feature film to focus on the civil wars convulsing the continent from Sierra Leone to Somalia. It provides compelling insights into how ordinary people around the world get swept up in extraordinary events. Its timeless story of two childhood friends turned into political foes personalizes the terrible costs of internecine strife. Daresalam is not only director Issa Serge Coelo's first feature but one of the first feature films from Chad. Chad's civil war, one of Africa's oldest, in many ways prefigured the continent's subsequent conflicts. Its pre-colonial roots reflect the basic geopolitical division between an Islamic, pastoralist North and a Christian or animist agrarian South. Northerners traditionally raided the South for slaves for the Ottoman Empire; the French banned that trade and advanced Sara speaking Southerners in their civil service. In the decades following independence, two factions of Northerners fought for control of the country, one with French and U.S. backing, the other advocating anschluss with Qaddafi's Libya. After three decades of civil war Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world with a per capita GDP of only $600; in the Spring, of 2001 a new rebellion broke out in the north.  Daresalam begins in the 1970s with two young men, Koni and Djimi, starting adult life as a smith and farmer in a prosperous village. Their placid existence is broken when the central government insists on buying the farmer's millet at below market prices and then browbeats villagers to pay not only taxes but also a national loan to help fight the guerilla war. The estrangement between government and governed is symbolized by the fact that the government ministers must speak French, the language of the former colonial oppressors, because they don't know the indigenous language. When an over-bearing official attempts to arrest the village elder, Koni impulsively spears him; in retaliation the government burns the village and massacres the inhabitants. Coelo makes it clear that it is the government's corruption rather than ideology which forces the villagers into the arms of the insurgents, FRAP, the Front Revolutionnaire du Peuple. At the same time he does not portray the rebels as uncompromised heroes. As Koni says. ""We fight in one world so we can live in another."" The rebel leaders, Adoum, Bicara, Tom and Felix, disagree on strategy and blame each other in defeat. Eventually the group splits; Djimi, wounded, remains behind with the hard-liners while Koni joins a faction which supports compromise with the government. When Djimi travels clandestinely to the capital to question Koni about his decision, their meeting degenerates into sterile political name-calling. Coelo deliberately does not take sides in the struggle within FRAP. While the split reflects the actual 1978 schism between Hissène Habré and Oueddei Goukouni in Chad, other incidents refer obliquely to the assassination of Thomas Sankara in nearby Burkina Faso and even Che Guevara's fate in Bolivia. Coelo vividly captures the atmosphere of civil war, poisoned by rumor, betrayal, posturing, a world held together by unreliable dispatches from partisan radio stations. He wants us to share the confusion of the combatants themselves, torn between rival opinions and ideologies, yet forced to choose sides. As Djimi says ""Who is to blame, the revolution or this bloody dictatorship? Neither prevented our misery."" In the end, Djimi leaves FRAP to return to his village in the liberated zone. He brings with him a war widow Achta, and a sewing machine left to him by a fallen combatant. He may not be able to ""sew"" together his divided country but he can attempt to start a new life for himself and his family. Just as at the film's beginning the rupture of society by civil war was signaled by the death of Djimi's young sister, its continuity and renewal is symbolized by the birth of Djimi and Achta's child at the film's end. As the disabled Djimi stumbles through the village searching for a midwife, the other characters in the film appear as in a dream and we learn their fates: some are lost in action; Koni has been executed in a coup; Captain Felix has become President of the fictional Republic of Daresalam. As for Djimi and the majority of those whose lives have been shattered by civil war, the most that can be said is that they are ""still alive,"" still suffering and struggling.","stream","[]","['Chad']","['Male friendship', 'Young men']","['Feature films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143461/1009143461-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644039"
"asp3644037-marc","","Library of African cinema. Dakan","","89 minutes","['Library of African cinema']","Dakan will inevitably be remembered as the first feature film on homosexuality from sub-Saharan Africa. While ""coming out"" may have become primetime fare in the U.S., this film was met with angry protests when it was shot in the director's native Guinea and has generated heated debate among Africanists here as well. But beyond its controversial topic, Dakan is a contemporary African reinterpretation of the age-old Romeo and Juliet conflict between love and social convention. Director Mohamed Camara has written, ""I made this film to pay tribute to those who express their love in whatever way they feel it, despite society's efforts to repress it. ""Dakan begins with the most sexually explicit opening scene in African cinema. Rather than the usual rural landscape or urban panorama locating the characters in a recognizable social or geographical context, the camera focuses on an isolated couple locked in a clandestine embrace in a sports car at night. The shot becomes even more transgressive when we recognize the couple are two young men. When one of them later tells his mother he's attracted to another man, she replies: ""Since time began, it's never happened. Boy's don't do that. That's all there is to it."" Dakan thus becomes the story of two men who by ""coming out"" disappear, become invisible to their families and society, because their society has no language which recognizes their love. In the first scene, Manga and Sori, two students in Conakry, argue and then part over whether to consumate their forbidden love; then each parent warns his son against the relationship; next each son ""comes out"" to his parent; they decide not to see each other again; both become ill; each family attempts to ""cure"" their son's homosexuality; each son tries, unsuccessfully, to form a lasting relationship with a woman; finally, they are reunited and accept their love as ""destiny."" The two boys also share parallel psychological profiles; they are both only children of single parents who have invested their whole emotional lives in their sons. After the disappearance of his father, Manga's mother, Fanta, has lived only for her son. Sori's father, Bakary (played by director Camara), a successful, self-made businessman has prepared a brilliant future for his unambitious son. One can perhaps detect in these characterizations now suspect Freudian theories of the origins of homosexuality in an overly protective mother or an over-bearing father. Sori's father counsels ""will power"" and threatens to send him away to school. Manga's mother decides her son is crazy and forces him to go with her to a traditional healer. This provides a telling analogy to our own ""witchdoctors"" - psychotherapists, reprogrammers and ""exodus"" ministries convinced they can ""cure"" homosexuality. Fanta herself undergoes a dangerous ""re-birthing"" ritual in a newly dug grave. Dakan does not try to present a realistic picture of Guinean society; rather it shows love taking many unexpected forms, often in defiance of social convention. Manga, for example, tells his future girlfriend, Oumou, he is married to his mother. He also tells Sori it's unfair he can't be the mother of his child. Oumou's African wet-nurse became her adopted mother after her parents were killed; Oumou in turn becomes her nurse's nurse when she falls ill. Manga doesn't hesitate to fall in love with Oumou, although she is a white woman, because they have so much else in common. Manga's mother asks him to give Sori a bracelet with the legend, ""Take care of my child."" In the very next scene, we see Manga taking care of Sori's son. For a moment an impossible hope flickers that, as Sori once dreamed, Manga, his child and he might all live together in rural obscurity. But no happy Hollywood ending is possible because there are no narratives available for the harmonious integraton of homosexual couples into traditional society. In the final shot, Sori and Manga are again together in a car, this time speeding towards an uncertain future.The entire film has been, in effect, one long, anguished parenthesis between the necessary succession of the opening and closing shots. There is, however, little triumphalism and less sense that amor vincit omnia, ""love conquers all."" What remains is the tragic knowledge that Manga and Sori's love is both destined and destines them to lose family and social identity. As Manga and Sori disappear into the distance, all that remains is the echo of their and the viewer's loss.","stream","[]","['Africa']","['Coming out (Sexual orientation)', 'Manners and customs', 'Male homosexuality']","['Feature films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143460/1009143460-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644037"

The ""Ins"" (or Inseparables) have adopted the names of French pop stars - Johnny Halliday, Sylvie Vartan, ""Clo Clo"" and Eddie Mitchell. Their clique attends school, has a female auxiliary, exchanges fervent love poetry - but they don't own a record player. The Kings, on the other hand, style themselves after African American Rhythm and Blues legends - Otis Redding, Ray Charles and James Brown. They work as fishermen, don't have any girls but they do have a record player. The story of their rivalry is told through the memories of Bacc, a husky-voiced, street-smart little boy who acts as a messenger for the older kids. Abandoned by his father and mother, he's been adopted by the whole village. His grandmother, Madame Castiloor, the keeper of the local tales, predicts: ""Someday you too will be a storyteller, who will make Africa famous throughout the world."" Her counterpart is M. Benoit, the gruff but well-loved, French teacher, who continues to propagate French culture in the post-colonial period. He makes his students memorize the fables of Jean de la Fontaine and paddles anyone who speaks anything but French in class. Beneath its genial surface, Ça Twiste à Poponguine is about the importance and ultimate fragility of dreams and about each person's right to construct whatever dream they need. The film reveals how young Africans' have always created overlapping, identities, blending elements of American and French pop culture into their daily lives. Chubby Checkers' Let's Twist Again, sung in French, wafting over a Senegalese village just emerging from feudalism, offers a quintessentially post-modern moment. The film is at the same time a fond evocation of the 1960s, the decade when any dream seemed possible, especially for the young. The sound track is full of Soul favorites such as James Brown's ""Sex Machine"", Ray Charles' ""What I Say"" and Otis Redding's ""Dock of the Bay."" In retrospect, the gaudy (not to say ghastly) Carnaby Street fashions seem more like costumes than clothing, transforming everyday life into fantasy. In contrast to the younger generation, M. Benoit seems imprisoned by his memories of France - particularly a lost love, Marceline. As it gets closer to his Christmas vacation, he begins to drink heavily, becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his life in Popenguine but doesn't seem to want to return to France either. Concerned by his depression, the entire village, led by Madame Castiloor, sing a praise song to him in the hope that he will stay. Meanwhile, the teenagers' schemes lead to disaster: a fight, the arson of the ""Ins"" clubhouse, a near drowning and the alienation of the girls. ""We lost all our illusions that night,"" Bacc recalls. The village elders, led by El Hadj Gora, the Islamic fundamentalist shopkeeper and father of ""Eddie Mitchell"", decide to punish the rebellious adolescents. But M. Benoit intervenes, echoing the words of Pres. Leopold Senghor (and, one suspects, the filmmaker's own sentiments): ""The children you beat are your future. Should they be humiliated because they dream of other horizons? Civilizations die that reject the Other. Universal civilization is the fruit of give and take."" The ""Ins,"" realizing their exclusivity has divided Popenguine, persuade a visiting French crooner to host a dance party for the whole village.","stream","[]","['Senegal']","['Teenage boys', 'Popular music', 'Villages']","['Feature films', 'Comedy films', 'Coming-of-age films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143458/1009143458-disc001-file001-frame00120-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644033"

Further investigation revealed large numbers of miscarriages, a cluster of reproductive cancers in young women, and widespread neurological problems among the band's children.The Beloved Community looks at a Great Lakes oil town facing a toxic legacy head-on. The nerve center of Canada's petrochemical industry, Sarnia once enjoyed the highest standard of living in the country, but now the bill has come due, in a compromised environment and a devastating community health crisis. The city has already lost a generation of men to workplace-related cancers. Now their widows and daughters are discovering a reproductive time-bomb; because of their own exposure to a cluster of hormone-mimicking chemicals called ""endocrine disruptors,"" the next generation may be at risk. How do you stay in the home you love when the price you pay may be not only your own life, but the safety of your children? The impact of endocrine disruptors on the reproductive health of wildlife is well-known, but the birth situation in Sarnia has never been seen in a human population, exposed on a daily basis to industrial pollutants. As these chemicals are in global use in everything from pesticides to dry cleaning fluid, the situation in Sarnia cannot be ignored by anyone concerned about the environment and health of his own community. As the corporations and government have proven unwilling or incapable of providing a solution, the community of Sarnia has been forced to take matters into its own hands. Women who have never thought of themselves as ""scientists"" are now going door to door, collecting health data from their neighbors in a search for answers. They are demanding a voice in the running of their own community from the complex of giant multinationals: Dow, Shell, DuPont, Imperial Oil, Suncor, Nova, Bayer, and dozens of others who have set the city's course until now.

"asp3644025-marc","","America reframed. Baddddd Sonia Sanchez. Season 4, Episode 6","","91 minutes","['America reframed']","The Emmy award nominated BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez offers unprecedented access to the life, work and mesmerizing performances of renowned poet and activist Sonia Sanchez who describes herself as ""a woman with razor blades between my teeth."" A leading figure in the Black Arts Movement and inspiration to today's hip hop spoken word artists, Sanchez for over 60 years has helped to redefine American culture and politics as an activist in the Black, women's and peace movements. Maya Angelou called Sanchez ""a lion in literature's forest"" while spoken word artist Bryonn Bain credits her with paving the way for his generation, ""She not only opened the door, she blew off the roof."" Sanchez revolutionized poetry by incorporating street language, a unique performance style and collaborations with jazz musicians. Sanchez's contemporaries Ruby Dee, Amiri Baraka, John Bracey, Jr., Haki Madhubuti and Nikki Giovanni joined by such newer voices as Talib Kweli, Ayana Mathis, Jessica Care Moore, Bryonn Bain and Questlove present impassioned readings of and insightful commentary on her fearless verse, including her raw love poems. Born in Birmingham, Alabama Sanchez grew up in Harlem, attended college in New York and studied with former US poet laureate Louise Bogan who introduced her to the importance of poetic form. In the early 1960s, Sanchez was active in the New York City chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and, inspired by Malcolm X, channeled her heightened political commitment into her poetry. She joined with Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka) in forming the Black Arts Repertory Theatre in Harlem and like many poets of the Black Arts Movement, wrote her work to be performed on the streets where it could provoke action. In 1965, Sanchez moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, teaching some of the first Black Studies courses in the nation and participated in the San Francisco State Strike which succeeded in establishing the country's first Ethnic Studies Department. She supported the programs of the Black Panther Party (BPP) and contributed articles to its newspaper. When she wrote a critical review of BPP Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice (""No man practices rape on Black women in order to rape white women. That's not a revolutionary, that's a hustler."") the piece was never published and Party representatives later threatened her. After leaving the Bay Area she joined the Nation of Islam for the stability and protection it offered a single mother but soon left because of its restrictions on women. Meanwhile tenured faculty positions eluded her because college administrations were wary of her steadfast activism. Settling at Temple University in Philadelphia – eventually named that city's poet laureate - Sanchez earned a reputation as an accessible and generous teacher and mentor to the young, as seen in her lively engagement with her students and the broader community. BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez, (named after her legendary early collection We a BaddDDD People) will be popular with students and faculty as an accessible resource for teaching English, Creative Writing, African American and Women's Studies, as well as for public programming and deepening public library's video offerings.","stream","['Sanchez, Sonia']","[]","['Black Arts movement', 'African American women authors', 'African American women poets']","['Documentary television programs', 'Television interviews']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143454/1009143454-disc001-file001-frame00055-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644025"

"asp3644021-marc","","Library of African cinema. (A la grâce de Dieu). Allah Tantou","","60 minutes","['Library of African cinema']","Allah Tantou is the first African film to confront the immense personal and political costs of the widespread human rights abuses on the continent. It follows filmmaker David Achkar's search for his father, his father's search for himself inside a Guinean prison and Africa's search for a new beginning amid the disillusionment of the post-independence era. One of the most courageous and controversial films of recent years, Allah Tantou speaks in an unabashedly personal voice not often heard in African cinema. The life of Marof Achkar, David's father, can be seen as emblematic of much recent African history. In 1958, his countryman, Sekou Touri, declared Guinea the first independent French African colony and became a hero of Pan-Africanism. Marof Achkar, a leading figure in the Ballets Africains, served as U.N. ambassador for the new government. In 1968, Achkar was suddenly recalled, charged with treason and vanished into the notorious Camp Boiro prison. His family was exiled and, only after Touri's death in 1984, did they learn of Achkar's execution in 1971. David Achkar writes, ""I knew my father was a hero, but I wanted to know what that meant."" The Marof Achkar we first encounter in home movies and newsreels is a charismatic, confident performer on the world stage. The Marof Achkar glimpsed later through letters and a remarkable prison diary is a man bereft of position, identity and family; he is now simply ""Number 54."" But in prison, he undergoes an almost religious conversion. ""It's strange,"" he wrote, ""I've never felt so humble, insignificant and yet it is the deepest reason of my happiness: I believe it's the grace of God."" In a cinematic tradition which has privileged the calm collective voice of the griot, Allah Tantou speaks with the fragmented, uncertain rhythms of the individual conscience. Achkar juxtaposes diverse, sometimes contradictory texts - documentary, newsreel, dramatizations, photos, journals - to deny us a single, authoritative narrative space. Allah Tantou argues through its example that vigorous debate, candor and self-criticism are the pre-conditions for Africa's political and spiritual renewal.","stream","['Achkar, Marof']","['Guinea']","['Political prisoners', 'Ambassadors', 'Prisons']","['Feature films', 'Fiction films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143452/1009143452-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644021"

"asp3644017-marc","","Ainsi meurent les anges","","57 minutes","[]","Moussa Sene Absa's latest work pushes the formal boundaries of African cinema to explore the complex interplay of history and psychology in contemporary Africa. Intensely personal and at the same time deeply political, Ainsi meurent les anges combines the elegiac lyricism of his Ça twiste à Poponguine with the acerbic social critique of Tableau Ferraille. What is perhaps most surprising is that this creative freedom was won precisely by working within the constraints of new low-budget video technology. Appearing the same year as Karmen Geï and Faat Kine, it attests to the continuing vitality of Senegalese filmmaking as it propels African cinema in boldly innovative directions. Ainsi meurent les anges shows how a ""dream deferred"" can become a nightmare, how a stolen past can make the present impossible and render modernity untenable, how history can become paralyzed. It is a film about the loss of innocence - by an individual and by an entire generation. These lost possibilities, these foregone selves, irrecoverable yet unforgettable, are the angels of the title. They are not the absolute, unhearing angels of Rilke's Duino Elegies or even the sympathetic onlookers of Wim Wender's Wings of Desire; they are aspects of ourselves, fragile as human hope. This theme of the penetration of the present by the past, of the narrative by the subconscious, is given structural articulation through the dizzying intercutting of color and black-and-white sequences in the film's bravura opening. Color footage introduces us to Mory, a troubled Senegalese poet (played by writer/director Moussa Sene Absa himself) living outside Paris with his French wife and their children. We watch his marriage fall apart under crosscultural pressures, specifically his father's demand that he take a second wife in Senegal. Homeless in winter, separated from his children, his poems scattered over a Paris street, Mory returns to Senegal, penniless and with uncertain prospects. At the same time, black-and-white sequences reveal the psychological origins of Mory's present malaise: his belated discovery that he is the stepson of his abusive father, his early love for Kumba, his father's destruction of that love out of caste bigotry and sexual envy; Kumba's subsequent marriage to a rich man and death in childbirth, and Mory's disillusioned departure for France. Interspersed throughout the film, the director's poetry frames the cinematic present within a language of memory and loss - Mory's and Africa's. As in other films in this collection (Faat Kine, Fathers) patriarchy, here seen in the mythic conflict between son and father, takes on historical and political resonance, specifically the theft of Africa's future - first by slavery and colonialism and now by a corrupt post-colonial elite. Mory has lost Kumba, the hope for a post-independence Africa free of traditional authoritarianism, yet he cannot retreat into an alien European modernity as the conspicuousness of his African dress in France symbolizes. In the end, Mory also loses contemporary Africa when his intended second wife, Yacine, frustrated by his indecision and poverty, marries a rich German, in a clear reference to Africa's growing indebtedness to the West.

"asp3644015-marc","","Afro@digital","","53 minutes","[]","Afro@Digital begins with a provocative question: 'Why speak of new technologies on a continent which wakes up and goes to sleep to the terrorism of poverty?' In other words, how can Africa escape the logic of poverty and unequal development by making sure that digital technology doesn't pass it by, become an agent of neo-colonialism or marginalize it still further? As Nigerian filmmaker Ola Balogun warns: ""We must ask what is the purpose of this technology and what type of technology is most appropriate to us? ... Technology is not a value in itself.” The documentary asserts that computing technology may in fact be indigenous to Africa. The new field of ethno-mathematics has discovered the oldest calculating tool in the world in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa. Named the 'Ishango bone' after its place of origin, it uses a base twelve system devised 15,000 years before the construction of the pyramids. Despite the relative scarcity of computers on the continent, the largest source of coltan, a product used in most microprocessors, is the Congo.John Akomfrah, an English-based film and video maker, encourages viewers to look at digital technology not just as a tool but as a mindset. He introduces the Greek concept of entelechy, to explain how a given technology can be developed according to differing socially embedded objectives. He sees an implicit symmetry between the internet and human intelligence itself since both are non-linear, random and subject to endless erasure. Afro@Digital then looks at the impact of various digital technologies across a broad swath of present-day African life. The first cell phones were introduced in the Congo in 1986; today they have flooded the continent circumventing the often unreliable and expensive land-based telephone networks. Can they allow Africa to leapfrog into the digital age avoiding the long, incremental path of telephonic development of the West? Combining traditional and modern, a marabout in Burkina Faso and a Yoruba babalao say that cell phones allow them to keep in close touch with their devotees around the world. Oumou Sy, a Senegalese fashion designer, travels around rural areas with a 'cyberbus,' a video projection system to advertise her collection. She has created jobs for 200 workers and has incorporated computer components into a traditional African aesthetic. At the same time a musician uses digital technologies to remix Aka pygmy music to make the instrumental track more prominent. Computers are particularly good at generating loops of reiterated rhythmic patterns characteristic of both traditional and contemporary African music. Mactar Syllar, director of radio and television in Senegal, points out that transportation between African countries is difficult; teleconferences and the internet can make Pan-African communications much simpler for businesses, governments and individuals . We witness a teleconference between students in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Congo and Senegal. The internet may also have a use in tying together students in 'distance learning' courses. But, like Americans, Africans express mixed emotions about privacy and pornography on the internet. Afro@Digital asks how digital technology can best serve the interests of Africa? For example, it could be used simply to let the ruling elites and global corporations further monopolize the flow of information within society. Or it could take advantage of the internet's multi-directionality to become an instrument for increased governmental transparency and citizen participation, including the participation of African professionals who live abroad and who want to assist their native countries. Young filmmakers point out that the comparative cheapness of high quality digital equipment now allows them to create, preserve and share their own memory of themselves and aspirations for the future. Although the internet and digital television will inevitably open Africa to further globalization, this documentary shows Africans responding positively by developing their own vigorous presence in a new international, digital cultural ecology.","stream","[]","['Africa']","['Internet', 'Information technology', 'Information society', 'Telecommunication']","['Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009143xxx/1009143449/1009143449-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3644015"

For jobs & freedom","","87 minutes","[]","Ask most people who led the 1963 March on Washington and they'll probably tell you Martin Luther King, Jr. But the real force behind the event was the man many call the pre-eminent black labor leader of the century and the father of the modern civil rights movement: A. Philip Randolph. Randolph believed that economic rights was the key to advancing civil rights. A. Philip Randolph: For Jobs and Freedom takes viewers on a tour of 20th-century civil rights and labor history as it chronicles Randolph's legendary efforts to build a more equitable society. Randolph was born in 1889 in the deeply segregated South. When he was reduced to performing menial labor despite an outstanding academic record, he headed north - to Harlem. The film traces Randolph's early years amid the fervor of the Harlem Renaissance where he encountered the socialism of Eugene Debs, became a renowned soapbox orator and, with Chandler Owen, founded the radical magazine The Messenger. In response to the race riots of 1919, Randolph and Owen formed the National Association for the Promotion of Labor Unionism Among Negroes. Soon a group of Pullman car workers asked Randolph to help them organize the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The film revisits the group's bitter 12-year battle with the notorious Pullman Company, which tried repeatedly to destroy the union using spies and firings. The 1934 Wagner Act finally created a level-playing field, enabling the Brotherhood to win an organized contract in 1937, the first ever between a company and a Black union. The anti-Communist Brotherhood did not join the more radical CIO but the craft unions of the AFL. Randolph became the sole Black representative on the AFL's executive council, where he was often a lonely voice for civil rights. When WWII began, the federal government was still segregated and African Americans excluded from all but menial defense industry jobs. Randolph leapt onto the national stage when he called for a march on Washington in protest. According to CORE founder James Farmer, ""Roosevelt could not take the chance that 25,000 people would be protesting in Washington when he was calling the U.S. the arsenal of democracy."" Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8002 banning such discrimination and the march was called off. Later, as the Cold War heated up, President Truman announced the first peace-time draft. But he left the armed forces segregated. Randolph called on Black men to resist the draft until Truman relented, presaging the protests against the Vietnam War. Truman was furious, but in 1948 he issued an executive order integrating the military. In 1963, Randolph called again for a march on Washington. He was the only civil rights leader who could unite other leaders in the movement. 250,000 came in response. When he introduced Dr. King, ""symbolically, the torch was passed from one generation of fighters to another.""","stream","['Randolph, A.

Raphael Lemkin changed the course of history.  An extraordinary testament to one man's perseverance, the Sundance award-winning film Watchers of the Sky examines the life and legacy of the Polish-Jewish lawyer and linguist who coined the term genocide.  Before Lemkin, the notion of accountability for war crimes was virtually non-existent.  After experiencing the barbarity of the Holocaust firsthand, he devoted his life to convincing the international community that there must be legal retribution for mass atrocities targeted at minorities. An impassioned visionary, Lemkin confronted world apathy in a tireless battle for justice, setting the stage for the creation of the International Criminal Court. Inspired by Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize-winning book A Problem From Hell, this multi-faceted documentary interweaves Raphael Lemkin's struggle with the courageous efforts of four individuals keeping his legacy alive: Luis Moreno Ocampo, Chief Prosecutor of the ICC; Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; Ben Ferencz, a former Nuremberg prosecutor still tenaciously lobbying the UN for peace, and Rwandan Emmanuel Uwurukundo, UN Refugee Agency Field Director in Chad.  Alternating live interviews with rare archival footage and striking animation, Watchers of the Sky illuminates the compassion and bravery of these humanitarians and powerfully demonstrates the ability of global activism to give a voice to the silent victims of genocide.","stream","['Lemkin, Raphael']","['United States']","['Lawyers', 'Genocide']","['Feature films', 'Documentary films', 'Biographical films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009065xxx/1009065220/1009065220-disc001-file001-frame01600-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3604848"

Then in November 2011 everything changed when longtime assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, setting off a firestorm of accusations about who failed to protect the children of Happy Valley. Filmed over the course of the year after Sandusky’s arrest as key players agreed to share their stories, Happy Valley deconstructs the story we think we know to uncover a much more complicated and tragic tale.

Irreverent and uncompromising, a gay man in a hostile world, Mohassess had a conflicted relationship with his homeland—revered by elites in the art scene and praised as a national icon, only to be censored later by an oppressive regime.  Known for his iconoclastic art as well as his scathing declarations, Mohasses abandoned the country over 30 years ago for a simple, secluded life in Italy.While the new Iranian government destroyed many of his works, Mohassess himself obliterated even more-- in rage at man’s inhumanity to man, environmental destruction, and the futility of idealism.  Ranging from tender to playful to haunting to grotesque, these unforgettable pieces were as mercurial as the man himself, a chain-smoking recluse with the mouth of a sailor and the soul of a poet, touched by a mischievous spark and as likely to lapse into a political rant as a burst of eccentric laughter.  Determined to interview Mohassess, fine artist/filmmaker Farahani discovers him living alone in a hotel room in Rome and begins to craft the perfect final biography, in his own words and on his terms.  Along the way, the inimitable spirit of the man behind the image is laid bare—both painfully sensitive and crudely comical, “condemned to paint,” but unable to compel himself to leave anything behind as a legacy.  When a pair of artist brothers and ardent fans of Mohassess commission him for an ambitious project, the elderly man is inspired with a renewed sense of purpose and returns to painting after decades of dormancy.  A lasting tribute to an elusive artistic genius, Fifi Howls from Happiness affirms the power of creative freedom, the right of the artist to create and to destroy, and above all, to have no regrets.","stream","['Mohassess, Bahman']","['Iran']","['Painters']","['Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009057xxx/1009057596/1009057596-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3593105"

"asp3590879-marc","","The last sentence","","126 minutes","[]","Oscar-nominated director Jan Troell, one of Sweden’s most acclaimed filmmakers, directs the biopic The Last Sentence. Set against the backdrop of WWII, The Last Sentence is based on the life of crusading journalist Torgny Segerstedt, editor-in-chief of one of Sweden’s leading newspapers, highlighting his one-man battle against Nazism and his country’s policy of appeasement to Hitler. With Sweden caught between Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Russia, the country’s elites chose a policy of neutrality and compliance, with few daring to speak up against the evil around them.  Among those who did, nobody was as loud and as uncompromising as Segerstedt (Danish star Jesper Christensen, Nymphomaniac: Volume 1, Melancholia), one of the most prominent Swedish journalists of the 20th century.  In the eyes of many of his countrymen, his pen was far more dangerous than the Nazi sword.  Amidst the political turmoil of the era, Segerstedt’s own personal life took a dramatic and scandalous turn as he entered into a very public affair with Maja Forssman, the Jewish wife of his close friend, the newspaper’s publisher. Maja Forssman is played by Pernilla August, winner of the Cannes Best Actress Award for Bille August’s Best Intentions. Jan Troell is best known to US audiences for his critically acclaimed film Everlasting Moments (also starring Jesper Christensen), as well as The New Land and The Emigrants (1972), starring Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullman, which received 5 Oscars nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film. Beautifully filmed in black-and-white, The Last Sentence is a gripping tale of a man who risked his life for his beliefs and refused to be silenced.","stream","['Segerstedt, Torgny Karl']","['Sweden']","['Religion historians', 'Journalists', 'Fascism']","['Feature films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009057xxx/1009057608/1009057608-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3590879"

Glauber was a child of the Great Depression and a prodigy. At the age of 16 he became a student at Harvard University. Two years later he was enlisted as one of the youngest scientists of the Manhattan Project whose objective was to create the first nuclear weapons. He later worked at the Institute for Advanced Study and at the California Institute of Technology. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.The Bomb that Shook the World, On July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert, in a flash “brighter than a thousand suns” the post-war order was established. The Trinity test had a handful of eyewitnesses and of those just a few took part in the creation of the weapons which less than a month later would destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One of them was Roy Glauber. This film is the result of many hours of conversations with him, an erudite scientist blessed with a memory as sharp as a razor. The film presents an extraordinary and deeply personal account of those crucial events. The director, Karol Jałochowski, a science journalist at POLITYKA weekly and Outreach Fellow of the National University of Singapore, in this film combines the skills of journalism and filmmaking. The documentary was shot at the locations of Los Alamos (where scientists worked on the creation of the atomic bomb), Alamogordo (the Trinity test site) and Santa Fe. Recently declassified footage and photographs from the archives of the Los Alamos National Laboratory are a vital addition to the film.","stream","['Glauber, Roy J']","['Hiroshima-shi (Japan)', 'Nagasaki-shi (Japan)']","['Physicists', 'Scientists']","['Documentary films', 'Filmed interviews']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009033xxx/1009033206/1009033206-disc001-file001-frame00490-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3584888"

Using stories and case examples, Dr. Bryson explains ten simple, scientifically-grounded strategies that can help psychotherapists better understand the brains of the kids they work with, and communicate that understanding to parents and the children themselves so that kids can feel less anxious and more in control of their bodies and emotions. 10 Brain-Based Approaches for Children - Connection between body, brain, and emotions, and what produces feelings of nervousness and fear. Learn to recognize anxiety and other negative emotions as messages sent by the body and brain. Use strategies and effective responses that ""work for your brain and body."" Understand neural plasticity and how kids can affect their brains by understanding and responding to their anxiety. Describe the brain as an association machine, by understanding mental and neural associations, kids can more effectively respond to what they’re feeling. Help kids understand that the brain’s job is to get a need met, and recognize their anxiety as a signal that the brain needs some sort of shift. Demonstrate how nervous system arousal works, and how resilience is about remaining in the optimal window for well being and happiness. Show how discipline and learning are guided by nervous system arousal, and how we determine at what point anxiety impairs this process.

"asp3584661-marc","","Agave is life","","60 minutes","[]","Agave is Life is a documentary film about mankind’s 10,000 year-long symbiotic alliance with the marvelous agave plant, from which tequila, Mexico’s iconic distilled spirit, is derived. The documentary takes viewers back to a time when hunter-gatherers relied on the agave plant as a source of food, drink, shelter and fiber while roaming desert regions of Mexico and the American Southwest. With the advent of early agriculture, and later, the development of more complex civilizations, agave played a role in the longevity, success, and ritual life of ancient cultures in these regions. Only recently have archaeologists realized how important the agave plant was to pre-Columbian people living in what may seem like marginal environments. It is through their investigations that the story unfolds, starting with feasting rituals and practices among hunter-gatherers and early agave farmers, and ending with current day environmental concerns. Along the way we learn how this unique desert plant, and its products, once integral to human survival, community gatherings, and religious rites, has become embedded in identity, mythology, art, and cultural traditions. After the Spanish Conquest, the once sacred agave was transformed into an economic commodity with meteoric increases in fiber, pulque, and distilled spirit production. In recent decades, however, competition with beer has all but eliminated Mexico’s once flourishing pulque market while synthetics have severely curtailed the agave fiber industry. Tequila and mezcal producers, the survivors of agave’s early commercial success in Mexico, are threatened today by climate change, water scarcity, and the lack of biological diversity in their fields. While biologists and producers struggle to reverse this negative trend, the multi-purpose agave plant rides through another transition for 21st century consumers. Hope for the plant’s future may one day rely upon more traditional agricultural methods and, as in the past, the use of its many products --- from fuel to musical instruments.","stream","[]","['New Mexico', 'Mexico']","['Agaves', 'Botany, Economic']","['Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009033xxx/1009033123/1009033123-disc001-file001-frame00065-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3584661"

"asp3573865-marc","","Where do you stand? Stories from an American mill","","61 minutes","[]","After a quarter century of struggle, mill workers in Kannapolis, North Carolina won the single largest industrial union victory in the history of the South. Like most other industries in the South, Cannon Mills was sharply segregated until the 1960s and employment opportunities for African-Americans were limited to janitorial positions and other maintenance-type tasks outside the mills. As well, municipal services, the newspaper and even the police department were controlled by Charlie Cannon, the same man who owned the town and doled out the jobs. An employee who was arrested for drunken and disorderly conduct might find himself without a job, and a suspected union organizer could count on being run out of town. Cynthia Hanes, a third-generation employee, remembers that her grandfather nearly lost both his job and his home simply for housing his brother, a union leader, during the General Strike of 1934. In this atmosphere of intimidation, Cynthia and others explain, workers tended to submit more or less willingly to sub-standard working conditions, paltry pensions and, at times, outright harassment from company managers. For many of the film's main characters, the degradation experienced by their parents and grandparents was an important catalyst - one that would eventually prompt them to action. Where Do You Stand? Stories From An American Mill is a haunting documentary about the rise and fall of an American town and the epic struggle of the people who live there. In the process it tells the story of dramatic changes in labor and demographics, in the nature of corporations, the rise of multinationals, and changes in the American South in the post-industrial age.","stream","[]","['North Carolina']","['Textile workers']","['Feature films', 'Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1009016xxx/1009016590/1009016590-disc001-file001-frame00105-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3573865"
