“The late architect Samuel Mockbee started the Rural Studio, a design/build architecture program, in which students create charity architecture for impoverished communities in rural Alabama Guided by passionate interviews with Mockbee, the film shows how a group of students use their creativity and compassion to craft a home for their charismatic, destitute client, Jimmie Lee Matthews

“But, the Rural Studio is about more than building It is also about providing students with an experience that forever inspires them to use their skills to better their communities Interviews with Mockbee’s peers and scenes with those he’s influenced infuse the film with a larger discussion of architecture’s role in issues of poverty, class, race, education, citizenship and social change”

Even more than Leni Riefenstahl, film director Veit Harlan was Hitler and Goebbel’s favorite Third Reich filmmaker He made films in the 1930s which extolled Nazi family values within melodramatic forms Then in 1939 Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels gave Harlan the most important assignment of his career – to make a gripping, mob-stirring film of Jew Süss Superficially it was a costume drama set in the 18th century and purporting to be the “true story” of a Jewish financial adviser, Joseph Süss Oppenheimer, who gained influence over the ruler of Stuttgart in the duchy of Württemberg But the Nazi propaganda minister had a more ominous subtext in mind as he insisted that the film embrace every possible anti-Semitic stereotype about avarice, arrogance, and lust to create the most hate-filled caricature yet in mainstream German cinema That would have been bad enough, but the timing of the film’s release in 1940 had far-ranging consequences which can barely be fathomed today Wartime audiences seeing Jew Süss in Germany and the occupied territories of Europe became totally incensed by the title character and yelled out for his death and that of his co-religionists The film justified hatred, removal, and destruction of an entire people The camps existed already and tens of thousands of political and ethnic prisoners had already been executed, but within two years of the release of Jew Süss those camps would turn into massive extermination factories Harlan’s film irrevocably contributed to the evil sweeping over Europe by depicting the Jewish people as threats to the “purity” of Germany and as worthy of complete annihilation Read more about the film >>

The alarming rise in “honor killing,” the heinous act of men killing daughters, sisters, and wives who threaten “family honor,” endangers tens of thousands of women in Iraq, Turkey, Jordan and adjoining countries

Global communication through satellite television, Internet, and cell phones has raised the expectations of young Middle Eastern women, who now are not content to marry a much older relative their father might chooses and live a life of servitude While young women respond to new ideas from cyber pals in Los Angeles or episodes of popular Western sit-coms, their fathers and brothers demand strict tribal justice for their acts Particularly in rural areas women have been killed simply for having unfamiliar phone numbers on their cell phones or speaking to men who are not relatives

Activist women, journalists, and lawmen of the Kurdistan Regional Government (the KRG) join forces to eradicate honor killing and redefine “honor”

It takes a big film to tell a story as big as Texas Now you can experience the myth, majesty and magnitude of the Lone Star State on the giant screen From the Panhandle to the Rio Grande and from West Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, discover a place where the unfettered spirit is free to roam, and where horses run as wild as the imagination

From the rugged mountains of Big Bend to towering city skyscrapers, the Texas landscape is as diverse as the folks who live there Find out how Texas innovation and ingenuity have lead the way in exploration, from the depths of the Earth to the far reaches of outer space This larger-than-life movie puts you in a “Texas state of mind” -- daring you to look out at the boundless horizon and dream big
