One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. In this complex, exhaustive and highly entertaining documentary, directors Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott examine the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation's increasing preeminence. Written by Joel Bakan (and based on his book), the film is a timely, critical inquiry that invites CEOs, whistle-blowers, brokers, gurus, spies, players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the corporation's inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Featuring illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn, Milton Friedman and many others, THE CORPORATION charts the spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force.

For more than two decades, Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) terrorized Northern Uganda. They abducted children and forced them to commit atrocities against their own families and communities. Girls as young as thirteen were degraded to sex slaves for Kony's officers. The war is over, but the years of brutal conflict have deeply scarred Uganda's people. Child soldiers have returned to the communities where they committed violent crimes, and the girls carry with them a constant reminder of their abuse: their captors' children. They are often ostracized by their communities, and most lack the skills they need to provide for their families. Named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2014, Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe presides over Saint Monica's Vocational School in Gulu, Uganda. She lived through the horror created by Kony's LRA, and now works to heal the wounds he inflicted on her people. She invites formerly abducted girls to Saint Monica, where they learn sewing, tailoring and other practical crafts. Through vocational training, these young women gain independence. Through community with their fellow students, they find forgiveness. Through the restoration of their lost futures, they find hope. Narrated by Forest Whitaker, this provocative documentary melds compelling stories of survival with edgy animation to tell one woman's fight to bring promise back to her troubled nation.

In 1970, a group of young American radicals called The Weathermen announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. Fueled by outrage over the Vietnam War and racism in America, they went underground later in the decade, bombing targets across the country that they felt symbolized the real violence that the government and capitalist power were wreaking throughout the world. This Oscar-nominated documentary interweaves extensive archival material with modern-day interviews to explore the group's incredible story.

One of the defining documentaries of the 20th century,The Atomic Cafe offers a darkly humorous glimpse into mid-century America, an era rife with paranoia, anxiety, and misapprehension. Whimsical and yet razor-sharp, this timeless classic illuminates the often comic paradoxes of life in the Atomic Age, while also exhibiting a genuine nostalgia for an earlier and "more innocent" nation.

Marcel Ophuls' Academy Award-winning documentary portrait of infamous Nazi SS officer Klaus Barbie, HOTEL TERMINUS: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KLAUS BARBIE brilliantly weaves together forty years of footage and interviews culled from over 120 hours of discussion with former Nazis, American intelligence officers, South American government officials, victims of Nazi atrocities and of witnesses. Known as the "Butcher of Lyon," Barbie, while serving as the local Gestapo chief, tortured and murdered French resistance fighters (including Jean Moulin), as well as countless Jewish men, women and children?and had thousands deported to death camps. After the war he was protected by and worked with the U.S. Army and American intelligence officers, and then allowed to hide in Bolivia?where he lived peacefully for thirty years as a business man under the moniker Klaus Altmann. It was only in 1987 that was he brought to trial in a Lyon court for crimes against humanity, thanks to the efforts of Serge and Beate Klarsfeld.

Can a lesbian wedding be all glitter and gold lamé? Can Amanda and Rachel's road trip revelry convince friends and family to get on board and support their relationship?

In LESLIE JORDAN: MY TRIP DOWN THE PINK CARPET, the veteran character actor serves up a rollicking collection of stories with wit, panache and plenty of biting asides.

This is a film about the reunion of two heroes. Two men from vastly different worlds who met at one fateful moment in the history of the state of Israel. One is  Ike Aharonovich, the twenty-four-year-old captain of the Exodus ship and a native of the land soon to become Israel. He is already a hardened sailor, a rebel, rife with the drive to fight the British. Alongside him is Mordechai Rozman, is a thirty-year-old refugee and adamant Zionist whose entire family was murdered in the Holocaust. He boards the ship and with the force of his words alone maintains 4,500 refugees at the heart of sea.

His friends earn easy money on the wrong side of the law forcing Michael to face tough choices in finding his footing in this poignant, universal portrait of multi-generational immigration family's caught between identifying with the past and the present.

For the past 50 years the Cuban immigrant group has established a historical importance, political significance, and economic influence on the city region of Miami. Cubans fleeing in exile, political turmoil, and economic hardship not only made a mark on a cosmopolitan region but also an explosion. The Cuban Diaspora cultural phenomenon has shifted the character of a city and placed Miami in the frontiers of international cities globally and the "Latinization" of the United States. But how was it done? And why is it important? This documentary explores the continuing CUBAN AMERICA story as a concentrated exile group's impact on transforming a sleepy, tourist town into a major, metropolitan community.

The pond. This is where hockey was born-under the open sky?where the ice is gritty and so is the play. For generations, Northlanders have grown up on outdoor ice. But, there are new climate-controlled arenas in every town, and that's where the kids go to practice year-round now. The frozen ponds are losing their inhabitants. In POND HOCKEY, director Tommy Haines and his Minnesota crew chronicle the changing culture of hockey. Through interviews with Wayne Gretzky, Neal Broten and Sidney Crosby, as well as local rinkrats, this documentary examines the true meaning of sport. More than just a celebration of a beloved game, the film asks: is there room for the free spirit of the pond in today's sports experience, or will the open sky and howling winds give way to whistles and metal ceilings?

Narrated by Colin Farrell, KICKING IT tells the compelling story of seven athletes who share a common condition with one billion of our fellow humans - homelessness. In the summer of 2006, while the soccer world's attention was focused on Germany, thousands of players around the globe were training hard and competing to be part of a different kind of World Cup. Originally created by a Scotsman and an Austrian to give homeless people a chance to change their lives through an international street soccer competition, the annual Homeless World Cup has since become an internationally recognized sports competition. Five hundred players from 48 nations would ultimately be selected to represent their countries in Cape Town, South Africa, coming from such disparate parts of the world as Afghanistan, Kenya, and Ireland. Win or lose, for these players it would be the journey of a lifetime.

In the 1980s, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini wasn't merely the lightweight champ; he was a national hero, the real Rocky. From the mobbed-up steel city of Youngstown, Ohio, Mancini was cast as the savior of a sport: a righteous kid in a corrupt game; fighting for those left behind in busted-out mill towns across America. But most of all, he fought for his father. Lenny Mancini (the original Boom Boom, as he was called), had been a lightweight contender himself. But the elder Mancini's dream ended on a World War II battlefield in 1944, when fragments from a German mortar shell nearly killed him. Almost four decades later, Ray promised to win the title his father could not. What came of that vow was a feel-good fable for network television. But it all came apart on November 13, 1982, in a brutal battle at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Mancini's Korean challenger, Duk Koo Kim, went down in the 14th round and never regained consciousness. Made thirty years after that nationally televised bout, THE GOOD SON is an intimate history, a saga of fathers and fighters, and a tale of loss and redemption.

SPLINTERS is the first feature length documentary film about the evolution of indigenous surfing in the developing nation of Papua New Guinea.  In the 1980s an intrepid Australian pilot left behind a surfboard in the seaside village of Vanimo. Twenty years on, surfing is not only a pillar of village life but a means to prestige. With no access to economic or educational advancement, let alone running water and power, village life is hermetic. A spot on the Papua New Guinea national surfing team is the way to see the wider world; the only way. Filmed in cinema verité style, the film profiles several villagers in their quest to become professional surfers. Set at the crossroads of civilization in a land where cannibalism proceeded into the 20th century, the story is as much a tale of budding sportsmen chasing their dreams as it is the Old World fusing with the Modern World.

This documentary follows the Raam Roses, an amateur British cycling team attempting the RACE ACROSS AMERICA?the most grueling and extreme bicycle race on the planet. Plucky foursome Ollie, Tim, Woodsy and Anna are determined to break the world record for the fastest mixed team to complete the course. Although visually dazzling, the 3000-mile route?stretching from the West to the East Coast of the United States?is notoriously punishing, even for experienced athletes (Woodsy is a heavy-set rugby player, and Anna has never ridden a road bike). From the start, the team suffers a plethora of injuries and setbacks. Will the group conquer their mental and physical exhaustion to fulfill their dream and break the record?

In this acclaimed sports drama, Roy (Ryan Gosling) gets cut from his high school football team just days after his estranged father dies. For him, football is more than a proving ground; it is a promised escape from his lonely rural existence and salvation from the paralyzing passivity that dominates his life. Enter Gideon (David Morse), a loner living on the roughneck fringe who is looking for kids to play on his six-man football squad. Roy joins the Renegades, and he and Gideon enter into tenuous friendship that pushes the limits of male bonding. A Sundance Film Festival sensation featuring a bevy of future Oscar contenders, THE SLAUGHTER RULE co-stars Amy Adams, Clea Duvall and Kelly Lynch.

SPLINTERS is the first feature length documentary film about the evolution of indigenous surfing in the developing nation of Papua New Guinea.  In the 1980s an intrepid Australian pilot left behind a surfboard in the seaside village of Vanimo. Twenty years on, surfing is not only a pillar of village life but a means to prestige. With no access to economic or educational advancement, let alone running water and power, village life is hermetic. A spot on the Papua New Guinea national surfing team is the way to see the wider world; the only way. Filmed in cinema verité style, the film profiles several villagers in their quest to become professional surfers. Set at the crossroads of civilization in a land where cannibalism proceeded into the 20th century, the story is as much a tale of budding sportsmen chasing their dreams as it is the Old World fusing with the Modern World.

This documentary follows the Raam Roses, an amateur British cycling team attempting the RACE ACROSS AMERICA?the most grueling and extreme bicycle race on the planet. Plucky foursome Ollie, Tim, Woodsy and Anna are determined to break the world record for the fastest mixed team to complete the course. Although visually dazzling, the 3000-mile route?stretching from the West to the East Coast of the United States?is notoriously punishing, even for experienced athletes (Woodsy is a heavy-set rugby player, and Anna has never ridden a road bike). From the start, the team suffers a plethora of injuries and setbacks. Will the group conquer their mental and physical exhaustion to fulfill their dream and break the record?

In this acclaimed sports drama, Roy (Ryan Gosling) gets cut from his high school football team just days after his estranged father dies. For him, football is more than a proving ground; it is a promised escape from his lonely rural existence and salvation from the paralyzing passivity that dominates his life. Enter Gideon (David Morse), a loner living on the roughneck fringe who is looking for kids to play on his six-man football squad. Roy joins the Renegades, and he and Gideon enter into tenuous friendship that pushes the limits of male bonding. A Sundance Film Festival sensation featuring a bevy of future Oscar contenders, THE SLAUGHTER RULE co-stars Amy Adams, Clea Duvall and Kelly Lynch.

The pond. This is where hockey was born-under the open sky?where the ice is gritty and so is the play. For generations, Northlanders have grown up on outdoor ice. But, there are new climate-controlled arenas in every town, and that's where the kids go to practice year-round now. The frozen ponds are losing their inhabitants. In POND HOCKEY, director Tommy Haines and his Minnesota crew chronicle the changing culture of hockey. Through interviews with Wayne Gretzky, Neal Broten and Sidney Crosby, as well as local rinkrats, this documentary examines the true meaning of sport. More than just a celebration of a beloved game, the film asks: is there room for the free spirit of the pond in today's sports experience, or will the open sky and howling winds give way to whistles and metal ceilings?

Coal River Valley, West Virginia is a community surrounded by lush mountains and a looming toxic threat. Filmed over a period of five years, ON COAL RIVER follows a former miner and his neighbors in a David-and-Goliath struggle for the future of their valley, their children, and life as they know it. Ed Wiley once worked at the same coal plant that threatens his granddaughter's elementary school. When his local government refuses to act, Ed embarks on a quest to have the school relocated to safer ground.  With a sharp sense of right and wrong, Ed confronts his local school board, the state government, and a notorious coal company for putting his granddaughter and his community at risk.

A working vacation takes two former lovers into an increasingly surreal world in this offbeat environmental thriller. A freelance photographer gets her first big assignment to document toxic waste sites along the U.S.-Canada border, and her unemployed ex-boyfriend is along for the ride. But failed romance soon becomes the least of their problems as their ill-fated road trip begins to circle in on itself. A prize winner at the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Brooklyn International Film Festival, ROAD is the first feature by writer/director Leslie McCleave, whose short films include award-winning BLIXA BARGELD STOLE MY COWBOY BOOTS (starring Michael Imperioli), AVENUE X and MEETING MARTY.

Narrated by Peter Gallagher, this documentary brings the history of oil prices and future of alternative fuels into focus in this documentary. Concerned with American dependence on foreign oil and curious as to how America could go from the largest exporter of oil to the largest importer, filmmakers Jeremy Wagener and Scott Roberts seek out the opinions of such experts as U.S. Department of Energy officials, alternative fuel producers, alternative fuel consumers, economic professors, and congressional leaders from both the Democratic and Republican parties. In addition to asking some truly challenging questions, GASHOLE also examines a variety of potential solutions to America's oil dependence. Could it be that greedy oil companies have buried existing technology designed to dramatically improve gas mileage, and why is the typical American consumer so reluctant to embrace alternative energy forms? For anyone who fills up their tank and scoffs at the rolling numbers on the gas pump display, this film may just have the answers to your most pressing questions.

Following a painful breakup, artist and government hydrologist Sarah Smith (Lily Rabe, American Horror Story) sets out on a stream survey for the Forest Service in southwestern Oregon - a journey down a scenic river that leads her to remote wilderness surrounded by scorched landscapes. Sarah also suspects she is being followed by an unseen presence, and visits from this "Big Man" (Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.) continue at the remote cabin where she writes up her fieldwork. As a mutual curiosity develops between them, her budding romance with a wilderness advocate leads to surprising revelations about the government, and Sasquatch. Directed by renowned independent filmmaker Christopher Munch (The Hours and the Times) and featuring gorgeous cinematography showcasing the natural beauty of the Oregon wilderness, LETTERS FROM THE BIG MAN has been noted as the first realistic filmic depiction of Sasquatch.

Many people who live surrounded by ocean - just a few feet above sea level - never learn to swim. In May 2014, National Geographic "ocean hero" Jon Bowermaster organized a learn-to-swim camp on the island-nation of the Maldives for fifty third graders and twenty of their burka-clad mothers. In a place more threatened by global climate change and rising sea levels than almost anywhere on the planet, it is particularly important that its residents understand what?s at risk. Diving into the ocean is a big first step toward protecting what we know.

In 1962, a trash fire ignites a seam of anthracite coal beneath the once-thriving mining town of Centralia, Pennsylvania. The fire continued to rage unchecked into the mid-1980s: giant plumes of smoke and deadly carbon monoxide gases billowed from fissures in the ground, the local highway cracked and collapsed, trees were bleached white and petrified. It wasn't until a young boy nearly died after falling into a smoldering mine that the government was pressed into action. After estimating the cost of extinguishing the fire at over a half a billion dollars, the government opted to raze the town and relocate its residents. Today, eleven die-hards remain. Filmed over a period of five years with interviews ranging from former citizens to Congressmen, THE TOWN THAT WAS is an intimate portrait of one Centralian's quixotic fight for a town that has literally disintegrated under his feet. His unbowed determination and steadfast refusal to acknowledge defeat reveal a region and a way of life that has been almost forgotten.

A powerful, emotional and relevant reminder of the heartbreaking toll war takes on the innocent, this award-winning documentary tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China, in the early days of World War II. As part of a campaign to conquer all of China, the Japanese subjected Nanking - which was then China's capital?to months of aerial bombardment, and when the city fell, the Japanese army unleashed murder and rape on a horrifying scale.
