Through hundreds of stills and hours of video we get to know her life mostly sitting in a sofa trying to inject her daily dose of methadon prepared from pills, to have her kick. She takes us into a bigger universe, back to the flat where she was born, to her father that refused to see her, to the orphanage which she escaped. She tells about her experimenting days in Copenhagen and the death of the love of her life. The ever returning subject is drugs and death that is inevitably awating.

A little later, he was lying on the tram tracks with two broken legs. He had been run over by Omar, who thought he could drive around him. It takes months for Brongers to recuperate, a period in which his girlfriend gives birth, life goes on - with difficulty - and he thinks increasingly often about Omar, who remains the villain of the tale. Michiel Brongers relates all this out loud in this personal documentary, in which he attempts to reconstruct the accident, records his recovery and reflects on whether it would make sense to confront Omar with his questions.

Minutes later, her husband, walking alone from the house calmly said “Somebody call 911. I just shot Amy.” Detective Deirdri Fishel took it personally. In a town ranked as the safest in the nation, domestic violence calls averaged over 250 a year. Starting with Amy’s death, Detective Fishel reconstructed Amy’s life, working backwards until she had a timeline leading to the day Amy met her husbandto-be, Vince. The timeline raised questions: Why couldn’t the court system hold onto Vince’s guns? Why hadn’t the police involved talked to one another? Why didn’t her co-workers push her to get help - help so she had a plan to get out safely? Told by an impassioned police detective together with the courts, Amy’s friends, and her family, “Telling Amy’s Story” creates a tense, disturbing, and exasperating picture of a life that was.

The menu goes from Elio di Rupo, the guy with the bow tie and very susceptible president of the French speaking socialist party - a party which has been consumed for the last few years by multiple political and financial scandals - to the battles for influence shaking the MR, principal party of the French speaking right wing and its controversial president Didier Reynders, as well as Nicolas Sarkozy’s verbal and gestural feverishness, or Silvio Berlusconi’s sexual one. The physical resemblance with many politicians is surprising. However, if you take a good look at who is doubling the parts of Elio di Rupo and Nicolas Sarkozy you will find... Baudouin Remy, one of the most famous and very serious RTBF current newscasters! UPF shelf location PN1992.13 .I56 2011 v. 9 Shop steward Alex Shprintsen

But the production of phones has a dark, bloody side. The documentary 'Blood in the Mobile' shows the connection between our cell phones and the civil war in the Congo. Director Frank Poulsen sets out for a dangerous journey, to see the illegal mine industry with his own eyes. He gets access to Congo’s largest tin-mine, which is being controlled by different armed groups, and where children work for days in narrow mine tunnels to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones. Blood in Mobile is an intriguing consumer-activist-film about our responsibility for the conflict in the Congo and about corporate social responsibility.

They are routinely subjected to torture, rape, beatings and starvation. Most, even young children, will never leave. One of the largest camps is Yodok. For obvious reasons there is no way of filming from inside the concentration camps, so how to make a creative documentary with no access proved to be a major challenge for this production. Andrzej Fidyk’s solution was to find North Korean defectors living in South Korea and among them the very few who had actually escaped from Yodok. He inspired them to bring their story forward and together they created and produced a large broadway style musical about life in the concentration camp. Through this project the participants were able to suppress their fear and share their stories with the camera. In a society where the North Korean defectors are looked upon with great suspicion, the production surprisingly became a big success.

Only seven inhabitants are left in Zabrdje, and if the three brothers remain single, the village will disappear. Their plan is to marry women willing to live in the isolated village. They already visited the nearby Serbian villages, but with no luck. On the Albanian side of the border, there are many villages with a predominantly female population since most men left to work in Greece. Their living conditions are surprisingly similar to those of our brothers: No running water, no electricity, and no shoulder to lean on. According to Zoran and Dragan, this is their last chance to find women. As for Rodoljub, he is not of the same opinion. The three brothers were in the Serbian army fighting against Albania. Today, they are faced with an opportunity to reach a hand towards the enemy. UPF shelf location PN1992.13 .I56 2011 v. 80 Shop steward Hanka Kastelicová
