Miss Nikki And The Tiger Girls
1 x 75’ or 1 x 60’, 2010, HD
Miss Nikki and the Tiger Girls mirrors the remarkable change taking place in Burma, a metaphor for a country suddenly thrust onto the world stage. In September 2010, people are looking with tired cynicism at the prospect of yet another bogus election. But the story of the girls’ journey is an uplifting look at Girl Power against all the odds, and when Aung San Suu Kyi is released from house arrest, it seems their world may be turning.

The Most Dangerous Man In America: Daniel Ellsberg And The Pentagon Papers
1 x 94’, 2009, HD
In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a leading Vietnam war strategist, concludes that America’s role in the war is based on decades of lies. He leaks 7,000 pages of top-secret documents to the New York Times, a daring act of conscience that leads directly to Watergate, President Nixon’s resignation and the end of the Vietnam War. Ellsberg and a who’s-who of Vietnam-era movers and shakers give a riveting account of these world-changing events.

Nefertiti: The Lonely Queen
1 x 90’ or 3 x 60’, 2019, HD
‘Nefertiti: The Lonely Queen’ looks at the status of cultural treasures taken from their country of origin. Voices demanding repatriation are getting stronger - the resistance of the former colonial powers holding on to these cultural cornerstones grows accordingly. Museum directors talk about why their institution is the rightful owner and custodian of certain objects. People demanding repatriation explain the necessity of guarding their cultural heritage in an accessible place in the home country. This is only one part of the big picture.
