A look at a special bar run by Aunty Beth in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
A feature documentary which takes a critical and hilarious look at the phenomenon of wealthy Western tourists on a jungle tour up the mysterious Sepik River in New Guinea. The tourists express their views.
COULDN'T BE FAIRER is an extraordinary depction of a side of Australian Aboriginal society which is hidden from the eyes of most white people. With unflinching honesty it depicts the problems of alcoholism, racial violence and political oppression still faced today by the first Australians, using astutely selected archival footage to provide historical depth. With the context of the Aboriginal land rights battle in Queensland, Aboriginal activist Mike Miller allows us to hear the voices of Aboriginal Australians as they discuss the effects that commercial enterprises like tourism and mining have had on their communities. What emerges are disturbing images of Aboriginal poverty and white prejudice in a film which makes a hard-hitting statement about racial conflict.
A film about Cunnamulla, an isolated community in far outback Queensland.
The story of Aoi, a prostitute in Bangkok. An ironic parable about the impossibility of living a good life in an imperfect world.
With terrifying calm this film examines the facts leading up to the 'Bravo' nuclear test in 1954, when in the name of 'national security' the United States government irreversibly destroyed the fragile world of the Marshall Islanders for countless generations to come. Piece by piece the role of the United States government is uncovered and we discover the deliberate decisions that were made to allow these gentle and trusting people to be expoesed to radioactivity and then used as 'guinea pigs' to test the short and long term effects of nuclear fallout. with cold fard facts HALF-LIFE contructs an account which is far more horrifying than any dramatisation and whose truth haunts our past, present and future.
Every 22 minutes, a civilian in Cambodia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Mozambique, Bosnia, Angola, El Salvador or elsewhere is killed or injured by a land mine. The wars of the latter half of the 20th century have left 110 million mines hidden in the fields, forests, roads, railways, water supplies, towns and houses of the poor in over 60 countries. In the ruined city of Kabul, during the time of Taliban rule, a former Mujaheddin soldier noticed a pretty Tagik girl with one leg, and he began to court her. This was the beginning of an unlikely love story. Part essay and part observational, this is an anti-war film set in a country that has become synonymous with warfare. (Also available in a 50 min version.)
For centuries the men of Kontu, a small coastal village in New Ireland, have gone to sea in frail outrigger canoes: to call, trap and kill sharks by hand. Now after a hundred years of coloniziation, economic exploration and intense missionary activity, a few men still understand the magic rituals of shark calling. However it remains as their most tangible link with the tradtions of the past during a time of rapid social change.
