Everything we’ve been told about food and exercise for the past 30 years is dead wrong. FED UP is the film the food industry doesn’t want you to see. From Katie Couric, Laurie David (producer of the Oscar-winning AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH) and director Stephanie Soechtig, FED UP will change the way you eat forever. Fresh: A very good advocacy documentary directed by Stephanie Soechtig and narrated by Katie Couric. Fresh: Fed Up, unbothered by its often crude mode of attack, is definitely mad as hell. And its muckraking spirit, an anomaly in the age of giving in, is inspiring. Fresh: Fed Up will change the way you look at junk food. Or at least the companies that peddle it. Rotten: Fixating on the fat rolls of underprivileged kids without mentioning class, the film is a more polished version of the greasy tale Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me told from the inside out. Katie Couric is fantastic doing what she does best.... Getting to the heart of the problem! Must watch over and over because sugar makes us forget how powerful it is!!

Join the fight to put health back into society and stop making big business richer and the public poorer at the expense of our health. I’ve seen a few docs of various levels of bias, but this was one of the cleanest, most straight-forward looks at what is happening with food today. It doesn’t cover the whole story of course but let’s face it: no one movie could do that. It does, however, get to the heart of why everyone is ballooning up, and what to do about it. Watch it with the kids! I went into seeing this film knowing that sugar was the culprit of obesity in America but not knowing how it got to be that way. What was shown before me blew me away. I read all the news articles shown in the film in the past but I remember them always being dismissed or buried with the rest of the news. Now I know why. Now all the the articles are put together like pieces of a puzzle to make this wonderful wake-up call. After seeing this film I put together a new diet for myself...more of a lifestyle change than a diet.

After extensive research of foods high in added sugar and foods low in sugar I realized why I couldn't lose the weight I wanted by just sticking to diet foods and exercise. This film changed my life around and I'm very, very thankful. I've lost thirty pounds so far after seeing this film back in May 2014. Thank you to Stephanie, Katie and everyone else involved.Parece que no podemos encontrar lo que estás buscando.

Elizabeth Mims, Jason Tippet Filmmakers Jason Tippet and Elizabeth Mims profile three gently rebellious teens from a depressed So Cal desert town where life seems to have come to a standstill.

As Kevin and Garrison both develop an adolescent crush on their mutual friend Skye, all three contend with unexpected developments that could lead them down separate paths, and out of their dead-end existence. Michael Camerini, Shari Robertson Originally shown as part of the "POV" series on PBS, Well-Founded Fear examines the United States' system for granting political asylum and the refugees caught within it.

Faced with the unenviable task of separating truth from fiction in their applicant's stories, the officials fall back on guesswork and suspicion. On the other side, viewers see the debilitating fear of the applicants, afraid that a simple slip of the tongue will condemn them to deportation. Slowly the immigrants realize that their asylum is based less on proving a "well-founded fear of persecution" and more on blind luck. One asylum seeker justly calls it "asylum-officer roulette." There are no easy answers here but there is an unflinching look at democratic principles at work, for better or worse.sushi chop gamecih Filmmaker Yi Seung-Jun invites viewers into the lives of a remarkable couple whose extraordinary relationship hinges on all of their senses. Robbed of his vision and hearing, Young-Chan experiences the world in a different way than most, and uses his poetry to express his unique outlook on life.

As the devoted couple's relationship deepens, we experience the world through their unique perspective, and discover just how rich their world truly is. So I got an email from people involved in this project and to be honest I am quite eager to see what will come of it. I can imagine there are a lot of fans of Beatles in here so this is for you. The hardships of a Mexico City construction crew struggling to complete a second deck atop the massive Periférico Freeway are explored in director Juan Carlos Rulfo's studied look at the modern work ethic. As countless drivers zoom past the enormous worksite day after day, the anonymous workers toil away in a relentless drive to finish construction on the massive freeway addition by the scheduled completion date of December 2005. Despite the long hours and sometimes harsh working conditions, workers such as "Shorty" and "EL Grande" look past the sub-standard safety conditions to focus on the task at hand.

Though both men know that when the project is finally completed they will likely receive little to no recognition for their monumental feat, the differing attitudes that they take towards their jobs offers a compelling look at the divisive opinions that many Mexicans hold in regards to both themselves and their country. Daniele Anastasion, Eric Strauss Between 1989 and 2003, the African nation of Liberia was caught up in civil war, and one of the most feared insurgent leaders during the war was Joshua Milton Blahyi. A tribal priest in his younger days, Blahyi became a warlord known as "General Butt Naked" for his habit of going into battle nude except for boots and a rifle or sword, convinced his naked body would give him a cloak of invincibility while striking fear into his enemies. Leading an army largely consisting of kidnapped child soldiers, Blahyi claims to have be responsible for the death of 20,000 men, women and children, and says he practiced devil worship and committed human and animal sacrifices before taking the battlefield.

With Liberia still struggling with the scars of war, Blahyi has renounced his violent past and returned to the pulpit, preaching the word of God and attempting to atone for his monstrous deeds. But while some support Blahyi's new crusade, others question the sincerity of his new guise as a man of peace. Filmmaker Eric Strauss studies the past and present of a man of tremendous contrasts in the documentary The Redemption of General Butt Naked, which was an official selection at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. With his nonfiction film The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief, neophyte documentarist Jake Clennell probes the contemporary phenomenon of Japanese "host bars" - or upper-crust clubs where wealthy female clients buy the affections of handsome, twentysomething male escorts. As an illustration of this concept, Clennell devotes the entire running time of the film to an exploration of Café Rakkyo, the most lucrative such club in Osaka Japan. The visit yields dispiriting glimpses of self-perpetuated delusions - such as the female client who insists that she can keep spending increasingly exorbitant amounts of money until she "buys" the lifelong love of her favorite host, and the male entertainers who succeed at their job by forcing themselves to take full advantage of a woman's innocence, gullibility and naïveté.

Clennell also underscores, with great poignancy, the extreme emotional turmoil taken by this profession on both employees and patrons. Clennell's greatest observed irony is simply the fact that most of the women are, themselves, prostitutes. In the grand tradition of cinema direct Clennell relegates himself to pure observation, carefully refraining from intrusive value judgements or intervention of any kind, and allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions about the participants' onscreen lifestyles. Jennifer Abbott, Mark Achbar In the mid-1800s, corporations began to be recognized as individuals by U.S. courts, granting them unprecedented rights. The Corporation, a documentary by filmmakers Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott and author Joel Bakan, delves into that legal standard, essentially asking: if corporations were people, what kind of people would they be? Applying psychiatric principles and FBI forensic techniques, and through a series of case studies, the film determines that this entity, the corporation, which has an increasing power over the day-to-day existence of nearly every living creature on earth, would be a psychopath.
