Lake of Fire
Call Number: Media Collection 0355
"Approaching the topic of abortion with any kind of objectivity is impossible, but [director] Kaye keeps his distance and yields equal time to pro-life and pro-choice advocates alike, always with an eye towards the bigger picture. In the end, he wrangles their testimony into a delicate balance of religious and philosophical ideas, shifting political resolutions, and, finally, a devastatingly personal look at what 'choice' really entails." (The Onion)
Judgement Day: Intelligent Design On Trial
Call Number: Media Collection 0332
"In this program, NOVA captures the turmoil that tore apart the community of Dover, Pennsylvania in one of the latest battles over teaching evolution in public schools. Featuring trial reenactments based on court transcripts and interviews with key participants, including expert scientists and Dover parents, teachers, and town officials, 'Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial' follows the celebrated federal case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District." (PBS)
Manda Bala (Send a Bullet)
Call Number: Media Collection 0353
"It's a frog-eat-frog world according to 'Manda Bala', in which tyro helmer Jason Kohn makes a series of scintillating connections between one of the planet's largest amphibian breeders, a Sao Paulo plastic surgeon, a fat-cat politician and a professional kidnapper, each of whom plays a role in the sprawling cycle of violence and corruption that is modern Brazil. Crammed into a lively 85-minute package delivered with loads of dark humor and cinematic flair, this [is a] worthy winner of Sundance's Grand Jury prize for documentary..." (Variety)
White Light, Black Heat: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
"Debuting on the 62nd anniversary of the bombings, WHITE LIGHT/BLACK RAIN provides a graphic, unflinching look at the reality of nuclear warfare through first-hand accounts of both survivors and American men who carried out the bombing missions." (HBO)
Strange Culture
Call Number: Media Collection 0367
"Lynn Hershman Leeson's work exists within the cinema of ideas, a lonely outpost at best and one likely to remain that way. [...] Younger filmmakers should be looking to Leeson for lessons on how to reinvent old forms while at the same time telling an urgently topical story -- in this case, that of Steve Kurtz, a critic of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration who [stood] accused of bioterrorism by the government."
