TURTLES CAN FLY (on DVD)
This is about Kurdish refugee children who collect landmines in Iraq. It is a really moving film about the postwar situation.
DARWIN’S NIGHTMARE (on DVD)
This gets our super recommendation. If you watch this you will discover why, if war increases in Africa, the price of fish goes down in Europe.
THE TAKE (on DVD)
Made by Naomi Klein (author of No Logo), this is about what is happening in Argentina with worker-owned factories. It’s a great documentary.
THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL (on DVD)
This is a stunning piece of cinema based on a Mongolian herder’s attempts to reconcile a camel with its newborn child.
