| <description><![CDATA[<p>Miranda Bailey<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about changing the way we see content, CherryPicks, Gender imbalance, a new kind of film community, diversity, perspective and the female voice.</p><br><p>More info here about <a href="https://www.thecherrypicks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CherryPicks</a> here.</p><br><p>CherryPicks is the place to find out what women are thinking about movies.</p><br><p>“At CherryPicks we believe the people who review films need to be as diverse as the people who watch them. We are the place to find out what women are thinking about movies. That’s why we highlight reviews and write original stories exclusively from female-identifying and non-binary writers, when most film critics are overwhelmingly male.</p><br><p>As women, we consume more than half the media in the world. And newsflash: we’ve also got opinions. That’s why we made CherryPicks. We create a unique score based on reviews from female-identifying and non-binary voices, so whether you’re looking for a night out, or a night on the couch, you know the opinions you trust come from women like you.”</p><br><p><strong>About Miranda:</strong></p><br><p>Miranda is a prolific producer, actor and director, known for producing high quality independent films. Her passion for bringing compelling, well-crafted stories to the screen has been the driving force in her distinguished 15-year career. </p><br><p>Bailey has produced over 20 films, such as the Oscar-nominated <em>The Squid and the Whale</em>, and the Spirit Award-winning <em>The Diary of a Teenage Girl</em>, <em>Swiss Army Man</em>, released by A24 and the critically acclaimed <em>Norman</em>, released by Sony Pictures Classics. </p><br><p>Bailey’s directorial narrative feature debut <em>You Can Choose Your Family</em>, premiered at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Brett Gaylor<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>The Internet of Everything, </em>advertising and activism, the digital arms race, the third industrial revolution and learning how to respond to a crisis.</p><br><p>Watch the film on <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/m_episodes/the-internet-of-everything" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CBC Gem</a> now.</p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>The Internet is invading all aspects of our lives. No longer confined to computers or phones, the Internet is now in refrigerators, and toilets, and is the infrastructure of our cities. The future will either be a surveillance nightmare or an eco-utopia, the outcome determined by start-ups in Silicon Valley and Shenzhen. </p><br><p>T<em>he Internet of Everything</em> directed by award-winning filmmaker Brett Gaylor is a documentary that examines the hype and hubris hurtling towards the next frontier in the Internet’s evolution. Using the never-ending list of devices we are told we want, the film provides a landscape for a broader discussion about whether the Internet has indeed been a democratizing force or, instead, a fertile ground for the formation of new empires.</p><br><p>Kristina is developing a device that transmits fertility data to the cloud from inside a woman’s private parts; Nellie Bowles, a journalist for the New York Times, introduces a survivor of domestic abuse who was terrorized by her partner’s “smart home.” China’s smart city vision reward citizens for behaviour conforming to social norms, as well as Alphabet’s vision for a corporate neighbourhood built “from the Internet up.” In Barcelona, we grasp a new potential for the Internet to allow for the copying of physical goods, turning the material world of atoms into digital bits that can be transmitted at zero cost anywhere on earth.</p><p> </p><p>Best-selling author and economist Jeremy Rifkin proposes that these digital disruptions are the signifier of an industrial revolution, and that the Internet is as significant a development as railroads and the internal combustion engine.</p><br><p>“I’m a reformed techno-utopian who works in the tech industry and has spent a decade critiquing it,” says director Gaylor. “My previous documentaries, <em>Rip! A Remix Manifesto</em> and <em>Do Not Track</em> have mapped the public’s relationship with the Internet, first with fascination and then obsession, then growing discomfort around the abuse of our private information, and now a sense of confusion and dread.</p><br><p>“If the pace of change and lack of agency is confusing for a techie like me,” continues Gaylor, “everyone else is probably feeling bewildered, too. But now, with the connecting of the physical world into the “Internet of Things”, the stakes have been raised - it’s no longer just the abstractions of cyberspace that are spinning out of control, but instead our homes, our bodies and our cities that are being transformed.”</p><br><p><em>The Internet of Everything</em> is a fast, funny and enlightening take on the bewildering change the Internet has wrought. It embraces the “techlash” while reflecting on the big picture of a world where we are all connected.</p><br><p><strong>About Brett:</strong></p><br><p>Brett’s brain is split between making technology and documentaries. For 10 years, he was part of the Mozilla Foundation’s senior management team. During this time he also produced media work documenting the Internet’s slide from democratic wonderland to dystopic surveillance market.</p><br><p><em>Do Not Track</em>, his 6-part interactive documentary about privacy and the web economy, was the recipient of the International Documentary Association award for best nonfiction series, the Prix Gemaux for Best Interactive Series, the International Association of Broadcasters Online Factual Prize, the Deutscher Prize for online communications, the 2015 Sheffield Documentary Festival jury commendation, and the 2016 Peabody award.</p><br><p><em>OK, Google </em>animated a year of his son Rowan’s accidental voice searches and received the 2019 Webby Award.</p><p> </p><p>His 2008 feature <em>Rip!

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Anastasia Phillips and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Tammy’s Always Dying</em>, mental health issues, perspective, vanity, therianthropy and winemaking and why she never judges a character.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ob0zRUuqqI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>On the 29th of every month, right when the welfare money runs out, Catherine talks her alcoholic mother Tammy off the ledge of the same bridge. This routine has gone on for so long that it’s the only thing Cathy feels she’s good at. And its Tammy’s selfish way of keeping hold of her daughter. But when Tammy is diagnosed with terminal cancer, suddenly she's not so sure she wants to die anymore.</p><br><p>Catherine has embraced failure. She works at the neighborhood dive bar and has terrible relationship with Reggie Seamus, the same idiot she's been with since high school. Except now he’s unhappily married with kids. The only positive force in Catherine's life is Doug, a semi-closeted friend of the family who has the unfortunate habit of always taking Tammy's side. With Tammy’s diagnosis, Catherine's responsibilities become completely overwhelming.</p><br><p>Then a chance meeting with Ilana, a glamorous, reality TV agent gives Catherine an alternative. She can sell her life story and experience 15 minutes of fame. She just has to wait for Tammy to die. But Tammy is responding well to treatment. The 29th comes and goes and…nothing.</p><br><p>Catherine is furious after an altercation with her still ferocious mother. She throws a suitcase into the back of her shit-box car and leaves for the city. To Ilana. To success. Finally, she'll get an audience for her tragedy. But Ilana isn't the hero Catherine anticipated; in fact, Ilana is a selfish drunk, which is exhaustingly familiar to Catherine.</p><br><p>When Doug suddenly dies of a heart attack, Catherine is completely devastated. She decides to go back home and do the only thing she's ever been good at: taking care of Tammy. But Tammy has come to terms with her mortality and wants to do right by her daughter.</p><p>And then it’s the 29th.</p><br><p><strong>About Anastasia:</strong></p><br><p>Anastasia Phillips was born and raised in Toronto. She received a B.F.A in Acting from the University of British Columbia, where she also studied Philosophy. </p><br><p>Her professional acting career began with the title role in the Vancouver Art’s Club production <em>The Diary of Anne Frank</em>, for which she received a Dora nomination for Best Actress. From there, Phillips worked across the country in regional theatres, including the Citadel’s production of Equus, and the Vancouver premier of Morwyn Brebner’s <em>The Optimists</em>. She also toured with the Electric Theatre Company’s award winning production of <em>Studies in Motion</em>.</p><br><p>Phillips moved back to Toronto when she landed a lead role on the CBC series, M.V.P,. A number of television and film projects followed, including the notable feature <em>Nonsense Revolution</em>, which premiered at the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Ellen Toland and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Inside the Rain</em>, living legends, mental illness, big goofy hearts, the resilience of artists and why sometimes people appear in our lives for only a season.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udve8qF6YlE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p>Watch it on Apple TV, Prime, Google Play, Tubi and others…</p><br><p>And learn more about the film <a href="https://www.insidetherainmovie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>College film student Benjamin Glass (Aaron Fisher) has it all: ADHD, OCD, borderline personality. And he’s also bipolar. But Glass is more than his diagnoses – he prefers the term ‘recklessly extravagant’ -- and he’s determined to prove his genius. When a misunderstanding threatens to expel him from college, Glass pushes back; he plans on recreating the incident on video, with the help of a moonlighting sex worker (Ellen Toland), to clear his name. But how will he raise the money for the film, when his parents dismiss the scheme as another manic episode?</p><br><p>Inside the Rain is a wincingly funny rom-com-drama, anchored by off- kilter performances by co-stars Fisher and Toland. The colorful ensemble cast includes Rosie Perez as a tough love shrink, Eric Roberts as an unhinged film producer, and Catherine Curtin and Paul Schulze as the long-suffering parents. The ultimate underdog film and proof that if you believe in yourself, anything is possible.</p><br><p><strong>About Ellen:</strong></p><br><p><em>Inside the Rain</em> marks Ellen Toland's debut as a female lead. A native Texan turned New Yorker, Ellen received her BFA in Acting from Pace University. She went on to train at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and has since continued to study with some of the top acting coaches/studios in the business.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Daniel Stern and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>James vs. His Future Self</em>, sculpting, good conversation, staying focused, regret and living in the moment, and why there’s no ketchup in the future.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi8oOuwsvdo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p>Watch it on: Bell On Demand, Shaw and iTunes.</p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>When an uptight time-travelling obsessed young scientist is visited by his nihilistic future self, he's told that he needs to give up his dream of becoming the world's first time traveler, or else. But when he won't go along with the plan, it becomes a wicked battle of man versus himself - literally.</p><br><p>In <em>James vs His Future Self</em>, Jonas Chernick is James, a brilliant and obsessed particle physicist on the brink of inventing time travel who, in the process, has relegated the only two people who care about him to the sidelines. Daniel Stern is Jimmy, the future, time-travelling version of James, now angry, cynical and driven by regret and loss. Jimmy’s obsessed with righting the wrongs of his life by convincing his younger self to give up his obsession with time travel and to finally stop and smell the roses. Or else.</p><br><p>Directed by Jeremy LaLonde (Cinequest Best Comedy award-winner <em>The Go-Getters, </em>Slamdance hit and Canadian Film Fest award-winner <em>How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town</em>) and co-written by LaLonde and Chernick, <em>James vs His</em> <em>Future Self</em> is an existential twist on the time-traveller-arrives-to-save-the-future trope. An homage to the classic sci-fi rom-coms of the 80’s and 90’s, a la <em>Back to the Future</em>, <em>James vs His Future Self</em><strong><em> </em></strong>is a rare Canadian indie film filled with raunchy humour, heartfelt romance, surprising twists and packed with noteworthy performances.</p><br><p>At the center are Chernick (currently co-starring on the Netflix/CBC hit comedy series <em>Workin’ Moms</em>, and star of the 2012 TIFF award-winner <em>My Awkward Sexual Adventure</em>) and Daniel Stern as his future self, giving the comeback performance of his career. Winner of the Jury Award for Best Supporting Actor at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, and nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Stern (who also currently stars in the hit Hulu series <em>Shrill</em>) is hilarious, dangerous and surprisingly emotional as Jimmy, James’s determined future self. </p><br><p>Alongside Chernick and Stern are head-turning performances by three extraordinary actresses. James is affected by the gravitational pull of three fierce women in his life. His sister Meredith (<em>Bitten’s</em> <strong>Tommie-Amber Pirie</strong>) wants both of them to get over the death of their parents 15 years earlier and finally forge their own paths in the world. His best friend/soul mate Courtney (<strong>Cleopatra Coleman</strong>, from Netflix’s <em>In The Shadow of the Moon</em> and the Fox series <em>Last Man On Earth</em>) is a genius scientist in her own right, and is being courted by CERN to relocate to Switzerland and work on the Large Hadron Collider. This would remove her from James’s life, presumably forever. And Dr. Rowley (<em>Joker </em>& <em>Six Feet Under’s</em> <strong><em>Frances Conroy</em></strong>) is the metaphoric Devil on his shoulder, a lonely giant in the science world whose approval and acceptance could make James’s time-travel dreams a reality.</p><br><p>Is the future inevitable? Or can Jimmy change James’s course?</p><br><p><strong>About Daniel:</strong></p><br><p>Daniel Stern recently completed a major arc playing Aidy Bryant’s (SNL) father in the Hulu comedy series <em>Shrill</em>, produced by Lorne Michaels. Stern can also now be seen starring in <em>Game Over Man!</em> opposite Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson in the Kyle Newacheck-directed Netflix feature.</p><br><p>Stern appears on Judd Apatow’s Netflix series <em>Love</em> and previously co-starred in WGN’s <em>Manhattan</em> and feature films including <em>Diner</em>, <em>It’s My Turn</em>, <em>Breaking Away</em>, and the<em> City Slickers</em> and <em>Home Alone</em> franchises.</p><br><p>He’ll next be seen starring in the feature film <em>Everything’s Peachy,</em> which he adapted from of his own stage play, and which he’ll be directing in 2019.</p><br><p><strong>Image Copyright:<em> </em></strong>Northern Banner Releasing.

Jimmy’s obsessed with righting the wrongs of his life by convincing his younger self to give up his obsession with time travel and to finally stop and smell the roses. Or else.</p><br><p>Directed by Jeremy LaLonde (Cinequest Best Comedy award-winner <em>The Go-Getters, </em>Slamdance hit and Canadian Film Fest award-winner <em>How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town</em>) and co-written by LaLonde and Chernick, <em>James vs His</em> <em>Future Self</em> is an existential twist on the time-traveller-arrives-to-save-the-future trope. An homage to the classic sci-fi rom-coms of the 80’s and 90’s, a la <em>Back to the Future</em>, <em>James vs His Future Self</em><strong><em> </em></strong>is a rare Canadian indie film filled with raunchy humour, heartfelt romance, surprising twists and packed with noteworthy performances.</p><br><p>At the center are Chernick (currently co-starring on the Netflix/CBC hit comedy series <em>Workin’ Moms</em>, and star of the 2012 TIFF award-winner <em>My Awkward Sexual Adventure</em>) and Daniel Stern as his future self, giving the comeback performance of his career. Winner of the Jury Award for Best Supporting Actor at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, and nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Stern (who also currently stars in the hit Hulu series <em>Shrill</em>) is hilarious, dangerous and surprisingly emotional as Jimmy, James’s determined future self. </p><br><p>Alongside Chernick and Stern are head-turning performances by three extraordinary actresses. James is affected by the gravitational pull of three fierce women in his life. His sister Meredith (<em>Bitten’s</em> <strong>Tommie-Amber Pirie</strong>) wants both of them to get over the death of their parents 15 years earlier and finally forge their own paths in the world. His best friend/soul mate Courtney (<strong>Cleopatra Coleman</strong>, from Netflix’s <em>In The Shadow of the Moon</em> and the Fox series <em>Last Man On Earth</em>) is a genius scientist in her own right, and is being courted by CERN to relocate to Switzerland and work on the Large Hadron Collider. This would remove her from James’s life, presumably forever. And Dr. Rowley (<em>Joker </em>& <em>Six Feet Under’s</em> <strong><em>Frances Conroy</em></strong>) is the metaphoric Devil on his shoulder, a lonely giant in the science world whose approval and acceptance could make James’s time-travel dreams a reality.</p><br><p>Is the future inevitable? Or can Jimmy change James’s course?</p><br><p><strong>About Daniel:</strong></p><br><p>Daniel Stern recently completed a major arc playing Aidy Bryant’s (SNL) father in the Hulu comedy series <em>Shrill</em>, produced by Lorne Michaels. Stern can also now be seen starring in <em>Game Over Man!</em> opposite Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson in the Kyle Newacheck-directed Netflix feature.</p><br><p>Stern appears on Judd Apatow’s Netflix series <em>Love</em> and previously co-starred in WGN’s <em>Manhattan</em> and feature films including <em>Diner</em>, <em>It’s My Turn</em>, <em>Breaking Away</em>, and the<em> City Slickers</em> and <em>Home Alone</em> franchises.</p><br><p>He’ll next be seen starring in the feature film <em>Everything’s Peachy,</em> which he adapted from of his own stage play, and which he’ll be directing in 2019.</p><br><p><strong>Image Copyright:<em> </em></strong>Northern Banner Releasing.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Teyama Alkamli and Andrew Moir and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Hockey Mo</em>m, Syria, motherhood and refugees, new Canadians, survival jobs, and something called the newcomer kitchen .</p><br><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CBCTelevision/videos/hockey-mom-trailer/202185444355535/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/episodes/hockey-mom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch it here.</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>Hockey Mom</em></strong> is an intimate, character-driven film that follows a single Syrian mother and her young son rebuilding their life in Toronto with the support of Canada’s private refugee sponsorship program.</p><p> </p><p>When the Syrian war tore her life apart, Fatma bravely seized the opportunity to build a new life for herself on her own terms. Twenty days after she arrived in Toronto from a refugee camp, Fatma fulfilled a years-long wish: she left her husband.</p><p> </p><p>For the past two years, Fatma and her son, Majed, have been living with their sponsors on Vermont Avenue, a friendly street in Toronto. On the surface, their new life in Canada seems fine, but Majed hasn’t made friends and is routinely suspended from school for unruly behaviour. She decides that a change of address might be the solution to his problems. Determined to provide Majed with everything he needs, Fatma finds an apartment in a nearby suburb. But the move makes matters worse and Fatma encounters obstacles every step of the way.</p><p> </p><p>Majed’s school suspensions continue, leaving Fatma with no time to look for a job. When the sponsors tell her that their financial support will soon run out, and with no job prospects in sight, she feels like a failure.

| <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>Teyama Alkamli and Andrew Moir and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Hockey Mo</em>m, Syria, motherhood and refugees, new Canadians, survival jobs, and something called the newcomer kitchen .</p><br><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CBCTelevision/videos/hockey-mom-trailer/202185444355535/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/episodes/hockey-mom" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch it here.</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>Hockey Mom</em></strong> is an intimate, character-driven film that follows a single Syrian mother and her young son rebuilding their life in Toronto with the support of Canada’s private refugee sponsorship program.</p><p> </p><p>When the Syrian war tore her life apart, Fatma bravely seized the opportunity to build a new life for herself on her own terms. Twenty days after she arrived in Toronto from a refugee camp, Fatma fulfilled a years-long wish: she left her husband.</p><p> </p><p>For the past two years, Fatma and her son, Majed, have been living with their sponsors on Vermont Avenue, a friendly street in Toronto. On the surface, their new life in Canada seems fine, but Majed hasn’t made friends and is routinely suspended from school for unruly behaviour. She decides that a change of address might be the solution to his problems. Determined to provide Majed with everything he needs, Fatma finds an apartment in a nearby suburb. But the move makes matters worse and Fatma encounters obstacles every step of the way.</p><p> </p><p>Majed’s school suspensions continue, leaving Fatma with no time to look for a job. When the sponsors tell her that their financial support will soon run out, and with no job prospects in sight, she feels like a failure.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Karim Sayad and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new and intimate film My English Cousin, the myth of Sisyphus, international relations, feeling at home and finding beauty in simple stories.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMtKPzN2u1g" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>This keenly observed documentary by Karim Sayad follows the director's cousin, Fahed, who left Algeria for England in 2001 and, now, contemplates returning to his place of birth. In 2001, Fahed left Algeria for England, settling in, of all places, Grimsby. Nearly two decades later, after marrying, working two jobs to pay the bills, and picking up a distinct Northern English accent, Fahed decides he wants to go back to his place of birth. But while his address in Algeria has remained fixed, the concept of home, he soon finds, is far more fluid.

From Fahed's Ramadan preparations for his flatmates (in whose hands cans of beer are basically a constant fixture), to family members in Algeria questioning Fahed about his marriage plans, Sayad captures the loneliness that trails his real-life cousin no matter where he goes.</p><br><p>(With thanks to TIFF and Kiva Reardon)</p><br><p><strong>About the Director:</strong></p><br><p>Karim Sayad was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, and holds a master's degree in international relations from Geneva's Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Alanis Obomsawin and Face2Face host David Peck talk about reconciliation, leaving a legacy, <em>Jordan’s Principles</em>, passion, commitment, advocacy, fighting back and why every child matters.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdBnTaafD8" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.nfb.ca/film/jordan-river-anderson-the-messenger/" target="_blank">More Info Here</a></p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>It took one little boy, Jordan River Anderson, to ensure that thousands of First Nations and Inuit children can today receive the same standard of social, health and education services as the rest of the Canadian population. In <strong><em>Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger</em>, </strong>Alanis Obomsawin’s latest film (her 52nd), the renowned documentary filmmaker chronicles the long legal fight against a health care system that operated on two disconnected levels, causing injustices and suffering—a situation that has since been significantly improved. The Abenaki filmmaker traces the parallels between the lives of two First Nations children, Jordan River Anderson and Noah Buffalo-Jackson.</p><br><p>A member of the Norway House Cree Nation of Manitoba, Jordan River Anderson had very serious health problems, for which he was being treated at a Winnipeg hospital. He could have ended his life in adapted housing close to his family, but because of his Indian status a dispute arose between the governments of Canada and Manitoba over who should pay the costs of his relocation to home-based care. Jordan died in hospital in 2005. Jordan’s Principle, which states that the first government agency to be contacted is the one responsible for this phase of a child’s care, was unanimously adopted by the House of Commons in 2007, and a ruling by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal resolved the issue of jurisdiction.</p><br><p>Many people and organizations worked hard for this outcome, but despite the judgment and the funding that was allocated for Jordan’s Principle, many First Nations and Inuit parents are still faced with a refusal of social, health and educational services. For example, when Carolyn Buffalo and Richard Jackson needed specialized transportation for their teenage son, Noah Buffalo-Jackson, who suffers from cerebral palsy, they had to pay for it themselves. Similarly, the First Nation of Wapakeka in Ontario appealed for assistance in combating a wave of suicides in their community, but received no help. “We hear a lot about universal health care in Canada,” says Aimée Craft, a law professor at the University of Ottawa who is interviewed in the film, “but why is it universal for everyone except First Nations children?”</p><p>Numerous binding government orders and the goodwill of several Canadian government officials, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, were required before First Nations and Inuit parents and children were finally able to enjoy appropriate support. “The law is a shield that protects this generation of children,” observes Cindy Blackstock, director general of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, and one of the protagonists of the documentary. “It restores their dignity, and allows them to grow up within their own families. Justice is possible.”</p><br><p>Filmed in centres of political power, in First Nations communities, and at public demonstrations, <strong><em>Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger</em></strong> provides a forum in which the voices of parents, caregivers, and their legal representatives can all be heard. Alanis Obomsawin’s latest documentary completes, on a note of optimism, the cycle of films devoted to the rights of children and Indigenous peoples that she began with <strong><em>The People of the Kattawapiskak River</em></strong>.</p><br><p><strong>About the Director:</strong></p><br><p>Alanis Obomsawin, a member of the Abenaki Nation, is one of Canada’s most distinguished documentary filmmakers. As a prolific director with the National Film Board, she has created an extensive body or work focusing on the lives and concerns of Canada’s First Nations.</p><p>She began her professional career in 1960 as a singer in New York City. In 1967, producers Joe Koenig and Bob Verrall invited her to join the NFB as an adviser on a film about Indigenous peoples. She has not put down her camera since.</p><br><p>An activist as well as a filmmaker, Obomsawin is driven to provide a forum for the country’s First Peoples. Her entire filmography is a testament to that desire. Her documentaries have always sought to show the importance of roots and strong intergenerational bonds for the preservation of Indigenous cultures—from <strong><em>Christmas at Moose Factory</em></strong> (1971), in which she used children’s drawings to tell the story of a Cree village on the shore of James Bay, Ontario, to <strong><em>Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger</em></strong> (2019), her most recent film (her 52nd), which documents the long struggle to establish the right of Indigenous children to receive, in their own communities, the same high standard of health care as the rest of the Canadian population.</p><br><p>Obomsawin is a director who knows how to film conflict, as demonstrated by her four films about the Oka Crisis of 1990: <strong><em>Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance</em></strong> (1993), winner of 18 international awards; <strong><em>My Name Is Kahentiiosta</em></strong> (1995); <strong><em>Spudwrench: Kahnawake Man</em></strong> (1997); and <strong><em>Rocks at Whiskey Trench</em></strong> (2000).</p><br><p>Alanis Obomsawin has received numerous awards and honours throughout her career. She was inducted into the Canadian Film and Television Hall of Fame in 2010, and in 2014 she received the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television Humanitarian Award, an honour given in recognition of exceptional contributions to the community and the public sector. In 2015, the Valdivia International Film Festival (Chile) recognized her body of work with its Lifetime Achievement Award, and she received an Honorary Life Member Award from the Directors’ Guild of Canada in 2018.</p><br><p>Obomsawin has received honorary doctorates from many universities, including Dalhousie University in 2016 and McGill University in 2017. In 2016, she also received two of the highest civilian honours conferred by the Province of Quebec when she was named a Grand Officer of the National Order of Quebec and awarded the Prix Albert-Tessier. In 2019, she became a Companion of the Order of Canada.</p><br><p><strong>Image Copyright:<em> </em></strong>Alanis Obomsawin<strong> </strong>and NFB.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Barbara Kopple<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about curiosity, politics and historical unknowns, rich and complex stories, the magic of people, being better informed and why she’s always been a good listener.</p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>It has been called “the most audacious, difficult, complicated, rescue mission ever attempted.” Desert One uniquely blends emotion and bravado to tell the incredible tale of America’s secret mission to free the hostages of the 1979 Iranian revolution. Two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple discovers a wealth of unearthed archival sources and receives unprecedented access, engaging in intimate conversations with many of the soldiers closest to the story, some for the first time, as well as President Jimmy Carter, Vice President Walter Mondale and TV newsman Ted Koppel.</p><br><p>Evocative new animation brings audiences closer than anyone has ever gotten to being on the inside for this history-making operation. This is the thrilling story of a group of Americans working together to overcome the most difficult problem of their lives. Among those Americans is President Jimmy Carter, readying to face a re-election challenge when self-described student revolutionaries suddenly take power in Iran. Anti-American students take the U.S. embassy in Tehran by force and hold hostage fifty-two American diplomats and citizens.</p><br><p>Using new archival sources and unprecedented access to key players on both sides, master documentarian Barbara Kopple reveals the true story behind one of the most daring rescues in modern US history: a secret mission to free hostages captured during the 1979 Iranian revolution.</p><br><p>At a moment when tensions once again rise between the governments of Iran and the U.S., old wounds remain painfully current for many on each side who detail their recollections in Desert One -- but talk of hope also emerges, that the lessons of the past might finally guide us to a better future.</p><br><p><strong>About the Director:</strong></p><br><p>Barbara Kopple is a two-time Academy Award® winning filmmaker.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Brad Jersak<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about religiosity, alienation and separation, the truth of our beings, faith and doubt statements, following a ‘script’ versus leading a life of love, reality, truth and justice. </p><p><em> </em></p><p>For more info about Brad <a href="https://bradjersak.com/" target="_blank">head here</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Check out his <a href="https://bradjersak.com/a-more-christlike-blog/" target="_blank">blog here</a>.</p><br><p><strong>About Brad:</strong></p><br><p>By now, most of his social networks and some of his readership have heard of his move into the Eastern Orthodox Church. He was ‘chrismated’ at the end of June, 2013 and tonsured as a ‘reader’ for the All Saints Monastery in Dewdney in October. You might wonder why he - an evangelical/charismatic/Anabaptist - would don a cassock and take up incense and chanting. If you’re curious, here’s the <a href="https://bradjersak.com/orthodoxy/" target="_blank">short version</a>.</p><br><p>Brad Jersak is an author and itinerant teacher based in Abbotsford, BC Canada. He is the Dean of Ministry Studies at St. Stephen's University where he teaches New Testament/Theology, Patristics and some philosophy. He also teaches on the core faculty with the Institute for Religion Peace and Justice. He also serves as an editor and graphic designer for CWR magazine.</p><br><p>Brad is a preacher and reader at All Saints of N.A.

Inspired by the writings and ideas of Glassie – <em>Field Work</em> is an immersive and meditative documentary set among the rituals and rhythms of working artists across Brazil, Turkey, North Carolina and Ireland.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Cornelia Principe<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk her new film <em>Prey,</em> justice, survivors guilt, truth, oppression and the abuse of power and why external oversight will be required for meaningful reform within the structure of the church.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjDJbF_DTbQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p>The film is now streaming on <a href="https://www.tvo.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TVO</a></p><br><p><strong>Winner </strong>– <em>Roger’s Audience Award for Best Canadian Documentary</em> – Hot Docs 2019</p><p><strong>Winner </strong>– <em>Special Jury Prize for Best Canadian Feature Documentary</em> – Hot Docs 2019</p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p><strong><em>Prey</em></strong> follows London, Ontario lawyer Rob Talach – a.k.a. “The Priest Hunter” – and focuses on two survivors, Patrick McMahon and Rod MacLeod. The latter is determined to be the one plaintiff who does not settle in the case of William “Hod” Hodgson Marshall — a Basilian priest and teacher in Sudbury, Toronto and Windsor, who sexually abused at least 17 minors over the course of 38 years.</p><br><p>While not allowed into the actual court proceedings, <strong><em>Prey</em></strong> recreates the mood of the trial, while profiling the various people connected to it. McMahon - who was molested by Father Marshall in his own bed when the priest, a family friend, was invited to sleep over – mounts a one-man protest outside the churches and courtroom.</p><br><p>On the surface, this seems like an unsolvable case. But Talach has fought this fight many times, and takes nothing for granted, as the settlement money waved at MacLeod rises higher.</p><br><p>“Emotionally, this was a very difficult film to work through,” says the director Matt Gallagher, “The sheer scope of the abuse uncovered in these stories is chilling enough on its own. But the power of the secret held by these survivors, and the doubt and even blame they encountered when they began to talk, that’s an extra ordeal that’s hard to imagine.”</p><p> </p><p><strong>About the Producer: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Cornelia Principe is an Emmy©-nominated, award-winning producer with over 20 years of experience.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Heather Young<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Murmur, </em>loneliness, solitude and quiet desperation, relationships and our desire for love, inclusion and connection with others.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpNImyyb18c" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p><strong><em></em></strong><em>Murmur</em> follows Donna, a sixty-something year-old who is scheduled to perform community service in an animal rescue shelter following a DUI charge. Over time Donna begins to relate to the abandoned animals that surround her and she forms a particular bond with a senior dog that she brings home to prevent from being euthanized. Donna begins collecting other animals from the shelter and buying them online, until her small apartment is over-run and her unchecked compulsion for connection ultimately causes her home and life to fall into further disarray. </p><p> </p><p>‘It is important to me to tell the stories of older women and allow them to be complex, flawed and fully realized characters, the likes of which are rarely depicted in cinema,” says award-winning filmmaker Heather Young of Murmur. “Donna is a difficult character, but hopefully one that will resonate. Her loneliness and addictive nature cause her to act in ways that are at times counterintuitive and destructive but ultimately she is looking for connection -- and that is something that we can all relate to.’</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>About the Director:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Heather Young is a filmmaker originally from New Brunswick now living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. After graduating from the University of New Brunswick and NSCAD University she made several short films. <em>Fish</em> played at festivals all over the world including Palm Springs Shortfest, the Vancouver International Film Festival, Vienna Independent Shorts and TIFF Canada’s Top Ten Festival.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Dekel Berenson<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his beautiful new short film <a href="https://www.annashortfilm.com/" target="_blank"><em>Anna</em></a><em>, </em>hard work and luck, politics and activism, child labour, allegory and truth and why movies should never just be entertaining. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PepdSLI5G3I" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong><span class="ql-cursor"></span></strong></p><p>Anna, a middle-aged single mother, lives in a small industrial town in war-torn Eastern Ukraine.

Despite not having been out for years she decides to take part in the event. </p><br><p>At the party, Anna is confronted with the realities of old age, with the American men's real intentions, and by her underaged daughter who is also attending the event.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Sophie Deraspe<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Antigone, </em>Greek tragedies, empathy, dignity, resistance and trusting and following your heart</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo5os3XbZC4" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><br><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p><strong><span class="ql-cursor"></span></strong>Antigone is a moving, compassionate and beautiful story and it won the best film at TIFF 2019. Gripping, powerful, and of-the-moment, <em>Antigone</em> loosely adapts Sophocles' Greek tragedy and situates it in contemporary Montreal. The latest from critically acclaimed Québécois writer-director Sophie Deraspe (<em>The Wolves</em>, <em>The Amina Profile</em>) is a compassionate family drama that doesn't hold back on its indictment of the current refugee and immigrant experience in North America.</p><br><p>Following the murder of their parents, Antigone, her sister Ismène, her brothers Étéocle and Polynice, and their grandmother Ménécée find refuge in Montreal. They live a quiet modest life in a tiny apartment in a working-class neighbourhood. A straight-A student seemingly destined for greatness, Antigone (masterfully played by Nahéma Ricci in her first leading role) is the glue that holds the family together. </p><br><p>Tragedy strikes when Étéocle is wrongfully gunned down by police during the arrest of Polynice, a small-time drug dealer. Motivated by her sense of duty towards her family and fuelled by the memory she cherishes of her dead parents, Antigone decides to jeopardize her own future to preserve that of her family.</p><br><p><em>Antigone</em> acutely explores familial sacrifice, the burden of responsibility, and the nature of justice with exceptional depth and nuance. Although inspired by a story 2,500 years old, Deraspe's film is a timely meditation, one that prompts serious reflection on immigrant life in ostensibly welcoming contemporary Canada.</p><br><p><em>With thanks to TIFF.</em></p><br><p><strong>About the Director:</strong></p><br><p>One of the leading figures of new Quebec cinema, Sophie Deraspe fell in love with cinema through her Visual Arts studies in Austria and Literature studies at the University of Ottawa and Montreal. </p><br><p>As both a filmmaker and cinematographer, she worked primarily within the realms of documentary before making her first feature, <strong><em>Rechercher Victor Pellerin</em></strong><em>/</em><strong><em>Missing Victor Pellerin</em></strong> in 2016. </p><br><p>Her second feature, <strong><em>Les signes vitaux</em></strong><em>/</em><strong><em>Vital Signs</em> in 2009</strong>, was in IFFR's Tiger Competition and she won the FIPRESCI award at Torino Film Festival for <strong>Les loups</strong> in 2015. The documentary <strong><em>Le profil Amina</em></strong><em>/</em><strong><em>A Gay Girl in Damascus: The Amina Profile</em></strong><em> </em>was selected as a World Cinema Documentary at Sundance and won the Special Jury Prize at Hot Docs. </p><br><p><strong><em>Antigone</em></strong><em> </em>was chosen as Best Canadian Feature at the Toronto International Film Festival and it will represent Canada at the Oscars in the category Best International Feature Film.</p><br><p><strong>Image Copyright:<em> </em></strong>Association Coopérative des Productions Audio-Visuelles and Sophie Deraspe.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>François Girard<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>The</em> <em>Song of Names,</em> history, remembrance, choices, mystery and discovery, film as music, the paradox of technology and musical, archeological digs. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbc3iujW6Oc" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Martin Simmonds (Tim Roth) has been haunted throughout his life by the mysterious disappearance of his “brother” and extraordinary best friend, a Polish Jewish virtuoso violinist, Dovidl Rapaport, who vanished shortly before the 1951 London debut concert that would have launched his brilliant career. Thirty-five years later, Martin discovers that Dovidl (Clive Owen) may still be alive, and sets out on an obsessive intercontinental search to find him and learn why he left.</p><p> </p><p>Shortly before World War II, Martin’s music publisher father, Gilbert (Stanley Townsend), invites young Dovidl Rapoport (Luke Doyle), a ten-year-old Jewish violin prodigy from Poland, to live in their London home. Gilbert’s intent is to help the boy achieve his musical potential and protect him from the imminent German invasion of Poland. Martin (Misha Handley), also ten, initially sees Dovidl as an invader in his house, but Dovidl’s worries about the plight of his family in Warsaw elicits Martin’s compassion, and he is won over by the young genius’s charisma and rebelliousness. </p><p> </p><p>Soon they are as close as brothers. Having the extraordinary Dovidl as his best friend and confidante opens up Martin’s narrow world, and enhances his selfconfidence. Over several years as the boys grow up, Gilbert lavishes all his attention and the money he has on developing Dovidl’s (now Jonah Hauer-King) talent, a process that elicits jealousy from Martin (now Gerran Howell), despite his love for Dovidl. Eventually, Gilbert stages an extravagant London debut for Dovidl at age 21. Unfortunately, as the audience and orchestra await Dovidl’s arrival on stage, Dovidl fails to appear.</p><p> </p><p>The cancellation of the concert bankrupts and devastates Gilbert, who dies soon after. It also leaves Martin with the loss of the “brother” he loved, the lingering question of what happened, and a growing bitterness over Dovidl’s responsibility for Martin’s father’s death. Almost four decades later, Martin follows the clues that lead him ever closer to his friend, until he learns the meaning of ‘The Song of Names,’ a profoundly moving piece of music that holds the answer to why his brother vanished so suddenly from his life.</p><br><p><strong>About the Director: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>François Girard gained notoriety as much for his filmmaking as for his staging of operas and theater plays. In 1993, his feature film <em>Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould</em> would go on to garner international success including four top Genie Awards. Five years later he directed <em>The Red Violin</em>, featuring Samuel L. Jackson, which received an Academy Award for best original score and enshrined Girard as an important player on the international movie scene. The film also won eight Genie Awards and nine Jutra Awards. <em>Silk</em>, which he later directed, was adapted from Alessandro Baricco’s best-selling book, and was released worldwide in 2007.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Yaron Zilberman, Yehuda Nahari Halevi and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Incitement,</em> the complicated history of the Middle East, justice, peace and racism, inclusion, war and the real cost of radicalization. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFli9HgwtVU" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>“This rigorous psychological thriller by American-Israeli director Yaron Zilberman (<em>A Late Quartet</em>) depicts the lead-up to the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin through the worldview of his assassin, Yigal Amir.</p><br><p>In 1995, Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister of Israel, was assassinated by an ultranationalist, right-wing Zionist who opposed the leader's signing of the Oslo Accords.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Robert Fisk and Yung Chang<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>This Is Not A Movie,</em> fake news and journalism, our addiction to social media, complicity, a “dead language”, and something called, “apparent clarity.”</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4VuvQChWQ8" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>For more than 40 years, journalist Robert Fisk has reported on some of the most violent and divisive conflicts in the world: Northern Ireland, the Balkans, and Syria. Yong Chang’s <em>This Is Not a Movie</em> captures Fisk in action—feet on the ground, notebook in hand, as he travels into landscapes devastated by war, interviewing both combatants and ordinary folk, ferreting out the facts and firing reports back home to reach an audience of millions. </p><p> </p><p>As corporations devour independent media, and language becomes a weapon, another less obvious battle is taking place. In an ever-accelerating 24-hour news cycle, the process of translating raw experience into incisive and passionate dispatches requires the determination to see things first-hand and the tenacity to say what others won’t. </p><p> </p><p>In his relentless pursuit of the facts, Fisk has attracted his share of controversy. But in spite of the danger, he has continued to cover stories as they unfold, talking directly to the people involved, whether that’s Osama Bin Laden or a young Palestinians woman whose father was recently murdered. Unlike the glamorous films that fueled Fisk’s early ambitions, justice rarely prevails, villains aren’t punished, and there are no tidy endings. As Fisk says, “the truth is that this is not a movie.”</p><br><p> </p><p><strong>About the Director and Robert: </strong></p><br><p><strong>Yung Chang</strong> is the director of Up the Yangtze, China heavyweight and The Fruit Hunters. He is currently completing a screenplay for his first dramatic feature, <em>Eggplant.</em> In 2015, Chang was selected to participate in the prestigious Sundance Labs for<em> Eggplant</em>. His award-winning short <em>Gatekeeper </em>is a Vimeo Staff Pick and distributed by Field of Vision, Laura Poitras’ curated online film unit. </p><p> </p><p>Chang’s films have screened at international film festivals including Sundance, Berlin, Toronto, and IDFA and have played theatrically in cinemas around the world. <em>Up the Yangtze</em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1114277/" target="_blank"><em> </em></a>was one of the top-grossing documentary releases in 2008. In 2013, <em>China Heavyweight</em> became the most widely screened social-issues documentary I Chinese history with an official release in 200 Chinese cinemas. </p><p> </p><p>His films have been critically acclaimed, receiving awards in Paris, Milan, Vancouver, San Francisco, the Canadian Screen Award, Taiwan Golden Horse, Cinema Eye Honors, among others and have been nominated at Sundance, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Emmys.</p><p></p><p>Chang's films have been shown on international broadcasters including PBS, National Geographic, ARTE, ZDF, Channel 4, HBO, TMN, NHK, CBC, Bell Media, TV2, SBS, RTS and EBS.

| <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>Robert Fisk and Yung Chang<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>This Is Not A Movie,</em> fake news and journalism, our addiction to social media, complicity, a “dead language”, and something called, “apparent clarity.”</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4VuvQChWQ8" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>For more than 40 years, journalist Robert Fisk has reported on some of the most violent and divisive conflicts in the world: Northern Ireland, the Balkans, and Syria. Yong Chang’s <em>This Is Not a Movie</em> captures Fisk in action—feet on the ground, notebook in hand, as he travels into landscapes devastated by war, interviewing both combatants and ordinary folk, ferreting out the facts and firing reports back home to reach an audience of millions. </p><p> </p><p>As corporations devour independent media, and language becomes a weapon, another less obvious battle is taking place. In an ever-accelerating 24-hour news cycle, the process of translating raw experience into incisive and passionate dispatches requires the determination to see things first-hand and the tenacity to say what others won’t. </p><p> </p><p>In his relentless pursuit of the facts, Fisk has attracted his share of controversy. But in spite of the danger, he has continued to cover stories as they unfold, talking directly to the people involved, whether that’s Osama Bin Laden or a young Palestinians woman whose father was recently murdered. Unlike the glamorous films that fueled Fisk’s early ambitions, justice rarely prevails, villains aren’t punished, and there are no tidy endings. As Fisk says, “the truth is that this is not a movie.”</p><br><p> </p><p><strong>About the Director and Robert: </strong></p><br><p><strong>Yung Chang</strong> is the director of Up the Yangtze, China heavyweight and The Fruit Hunters. He is currently completing a screenplay for his first dramatic feature, <em>Eggplant.</em> In 2015, Chang was selected to participate in the prestigious Sundance Labs for<em> Eggplant</em>. His award-winning short <em>Gatekeeper </em>is a Vimeo Staff Pick and distributed by Field of Vision, Laura Poitras’ curated online film unit. </p><p> </p><p>Chang’s films have screened at international film festivals including Sundance, Berlin, Toronto, and IDFA and have played theatrically in cinemas around the world. <em>Up the Yangtze</em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1114277/" target="_blank"><em> </em></a>was one of the top-grossing documentary releases in 2008. In 2013, <em>China Heavyweight</em> became the most widely screened social-issues documentary I Chinese history with an official release in 200 Chinese cinemas. </p><p> </p><p>His films have been critically acclaimed, receiving awards in Paris, Milan, Vancouver, San Francisco, the Canadian Screen Award, Taiwan Golden Horse, Cinema Eye Honors, among others and have been nominated at Sundance, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Emmys.</p><p></p><p>Chang's films have been shown on international broadcasters including PBS, National Geographic, ARTE, ZDF, Channel 4, HBO, TMN, NHK, CBC, Bell Media, TV2, SBS, RTS and EBS.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>August Diehl and Valerie Pachner and Face2Face host David Peck talk about Terence Malik’s new film <em>A Hidden Life,</em> true love, pacifism and evil, truth and justice, taking an ethical stance and standing up to power. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJXmdY4lVR0" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>“..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”</p><br><p>George Eliot</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><em>A Hidden Life</em><strong> </strong>is based on the true story of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian peasant farmer who refused to take the oath of allegiance to Hitler during World War II, sacrificing everything, including his life, rather than to fight for the Nazis. </p><br><p>When Franz is called up to basic training, a requirement for all Austrian men, he is away from his beloved wife and children for months. Eventually, when France surrenders and it seems the war might end soon, he is sent back home. His mother and sister-in-law Resie come to live with them, and for a while things seem to go on as normal. </p><br><p>Instead of retreating, the war escalates, and Franz and the other men in the village are called up to fight. The first requirement of a new soldier is to swear an oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Despite pleas from his neighbors, fellow soldiers and commanding officers, Franz refuses the oath—objecting to Hitler and the Nazi regime. With a sense of personal responsibility and the inability to do what he believes is wrong, Franz refuses. </p><br><p>After months of incarceration, the case goes to trial. Franz is found guilty and sentenced to death. Franz continues to stand up for his beliefs and is executed by the Third Reich in August 1943. His wife and three daughters survive. </p><p>The relationship, however, between Franz and his wife Fani endures. The film portrays their bond as deeply as Franz’s devotion to his cause. At every turn Fani is there for Franz - strong, unfaltering and supportive of his path while raising their daughters and running the farm alone, eventually with help from her mother-in-law and sister. </p><br><p>Terence Malik’s film draws on actual letters exchanged between Franz and Fani while Jägerstätter was in prison. The collection was edited by Erna Putz and published in English by Orbis Books. Some lines have been added to the letters, and sometimes the letters are paraphrased. </p><br><p>The story was little known outside of St. Radegund, and might never have been discovered, were it not for the research of Gordon Zahn, an American who visited the village in the 1970s. </p><br><p><strong>About the Cast: </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>August Diehl</strong> made his debut in 23, which garnered him a Bavarian Film Award for Best Young Actor and a German Film Award for Best Actor. Best known for his role in the Academy Award-Winning <em>The Counterfei</em>ters and <em>Inglorious Bastards</em> Diehl’s additional credits include <em>The Ninth Day</em>, <em>Slumming </em>and<em> If Not Us, Who</em>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Valerie Pachner</strong> was Born in Wels, Upper Austria, and trained at the famous Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. She moved to Munich after completing her studies. In 2013 she became part of the permanent ensemble at the Residenztheater. </p><p> </p><p>In addition to her stage work, Pachner also took on movie roles, among them Egon Schiele: Death and The Maiden, a part for which she was awarded the Austrian Film Prize. Pachner played the lead in The Ground Beneath My Feet which received its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2019.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Image Copyright:<em> </em></strong>Elizabeth Bay Productions Productions.

With a sense of personal responsibility and the inability to do what he believes is wrong, Franz refuses. </p><br><p>After months of incarceration, the case goes to trial. Franz is found guilty and sentenced to death. Franz continues to stand up for his beliefs and is executed by the Third Reich in August 1943. His wife and three daughters survive. </p><p>The relationship, however, between Franz and his wife Fani endures. The film portrays their bond as deeply as Franz’s devotion to his cause. At every turn Fani is there for Franz - strong, unfaltering and supportive of his path while raising their daughters and running the farm alone, eventually with help from her mother-in-law and sister. </p><br><p>Terence Malik’s film draws on actual letters exchanged between Franz and Fani while Jägerstätter was in prison. The collection was edited by Erna Putz and published in English by Orbis Books. Some lines have been added to the letters, and sometimes the letters are paraphrased. </p><br><p>The story was little known outside of St. Radegund, and might never have been discovered, were it not for the research of Gordon Zahn, an American who visited the village in the 1970s. </p><br><p><strong>About the Cast: </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>August Diehl</strong> made his debut in 23, which garnered him a Bavarian Film Award for Best Young Actor and a German Film Award for Best Actor. Best known for his role in the Academy Award-Winning <em>The Counterfei</em>ters and <em>Inglorious Bastards</em> Diehl’s additional credits include <em>The Ninth Day</em>, <em>Slumming </em>and<em> If Not Us, Who</em>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Valerie Pachner</strong> was Born in Wels, Upper Austria, and trained at the famous Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna. She moved to Munich after completing her studies. In 2013 she became part of the permanent ensemble at the Residenztheater. </p><p> </p><p>In addition to her stage work, Pachner also took on movie roles, among them Egon Schiele: Death and The Maiden, a part for which she was awarded the Austrian Film Prize. Pachner played the lead in The Ground Beneath My Feet which received its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2019.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Image Copyright:<em> </em></strong>Elizabeth Bay Productions Productions.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Mahnaz Mohammadi, Farzad Pak and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Son/Mother,</em> activism, family, choices and women’s rights, tradition, values and storytelling, patriarchy, empathy and how things do change bit by bit, over time. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YumbwfNBHew" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Leila is a single working mom of two. The factory she works at faces a crisis and jobs are at stake. Kazem, the factory bus driver, proposes marriage to Leila, but she hesitates to accept his conditions. Kazem has a daughter the same age as her 12-year-old son, Amir, and since tradition frowns upon a young girl sharing a household with her step-brother, Kazem tells Leila not to bring her son until he marries his daughter off.</p><p> </p><p>After Leila is fired from her job, she makes the decision to stay with Kazem and leave Amir at a boarding school for deaf children, while she tries to manage his return. There, Amir is forced to pretend he’s deaf-and-dumb, and after a few months tries to run away to search for his mother. On the run, he faces Kazem who asks him to think about his family’s future. Amir has to decide.</p><br><p><strong>About the Directors: </strong></p><p> </p><p>Well-known for her provocative documentaries on social issues as well as her tireless activism, Iranian director <strong>Mahnaz Mohammadi</strong> has made headlines in the likes of The Guardian, the Hollywood Reporter or Variety, and has been supported by Amnesty International and the French Directors Guild (Société des réalisateurs de films) among others.</p><p> </p><p>Mohammadi wrote and directed her first short documentary, Women without Shadows, in 2003.

The film premiered in 2010 at the ‘A Day in Tehran’ event in Paris, with the director in attendance, which became one of the reasons for Iranian authorities to ban Mohammadi from leaving the country and from producing any more films.</p><p> </p><p>The avid women’s rights activist also contributed to Rakhshan Bani-Etemad’s documentary We Are Half the Iran’s Population, which portrayed the demands of Iranian women in the 2009 presidential election. At the time, Mohammadi was already considered a public enemy, her passport was withheld by the court, and her home was searched. The authorities also confiscated her work and filming equipment along with other personal belongings, while banning her from working as a filmmaker. Several of her films have been banned in Iran. In 2011, she starred in Reza Serkanian‘s drama The Momentary Marriage and was invited to the 64th Cannes Film Festival, but was not allowed to attend. Greek-French filmmaker Costa-Gavras read a letter she sent, including the famous words: “I am a woman, I am a filmmaker, two sufficient grounds to be guilty in this country.” In June, she was arrested and jailed in Tehran’s infamous Evin Prison.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Rebecca Snow and Steve Gamester<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Cheating Hitler: Surviving The Holocaust</em>, survivors guilt<em>, </em>meaningful history and the power of memory, pivotal moments in personal stories and why we never should forget.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZmmJLwD1gE" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.history.ca/shows/cheating-hitler/" target="_blank">You can watch the film here.</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Rose, Maxwell and Helen were 10, 9 and 7 years old when the Second World War began. Robbed of their childhood, they were old before they were young.</p><p> </p><p>They endured the terror of forced labour, killing squads and concentration camps. After the war, they discovered their families had been decimated, that their homes were reduced to rubble, and their possessions lost or stolen. Now, 75 years after the war ended, these three survivors are looking for answers to deeply personal questions they’ve carried with them their entire lives.</p><p> </p><p><em>Cheating Hitler</em> is a modern-day investigation into lingering mysteries from the Holocaust. Three survivors and family members travel to Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania exploring some of the hidden and rarely visited sites where the Holocaust occurred. They consult with historians, genealogists and forensic experts and uncover new life-changing information.</p><p> </p><p>Children have always been central to the story of the Holocaust.

| <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>Rebecca Snow and Steve Gamester<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Cheating Hitler: Surviving The Holocaust</em>, survivors guilt<em>, </em>meaningful history and the power of memory, pivotal moments in personal stories and why we never should forget.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZmmJLwD1gE" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.history.ca/shows/cheating-hitler/" target="_blank">You can watch the film here.</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Rose, Maxwell and Helen were 10, 9 and 7 years old when the Second World War began. Robbed of their childhood, they were old before they were young.</p><p> </p><p>They endured the terror of forced labour, killing squads and concentration camps. After the war, they discovered their families had been decimated, that their homes were reduced to rubble, and their possessions lost or stolen. Now, 75 years after the war ended, these three survivors are looking for answers to deeply personal questions they’ve carried with them their entire lives.</p><p> </p><p><em>Cheating Hitler</em> is a modern-day investigation into lingering mysteries from the Holocaust. Three survivors and family members travel to Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania exploring some of the hidden and rarely visited sites where the Holocaust occurred. They consult with historians, genealogists and forensic experts and uncover new life-changing information.</p><p> </p><p>Children have always been central to the story of the Holocaust. The most recognized victim, Anne Frank, was a child. And yet, for decades, the testimony of most child survivors was overlooked. Some felt overshadowed by the experiences of their elders, too traumatized to share their memories, or felt guilt for surviving and living long lives.</p><p> </p><p>This film focuses entirely on the unique experiences of children survivors, now in their final years, and often telling stories and revealing secrets on camera for the first time.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>John Walker and Aaron James<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>Assholes: A Theory, </em>the public good, economics and indifference<em>, </em>activism and authoritarianism, capitalism and greed, public spaces and shared prosperity. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA8fS7_pPIc" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>You Can Buy the Book </em><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0385535651/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=davpecliv-20&camp=15121&creative=330641&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0385535651&linkId=afe41240d69432433d580e689aa172ac" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><strong>.</strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>Ever get the feeling that assholes are taking over the world?</p><p>Bad behaviour is as old as human history, something we all encounter at some point—whether on the playground, in the workplace or in public life.

His films have been widely broadcast and have appeared at major international film festivals in Toronto, Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, London and Tokyo. From the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, he has received 19 nominations and awards, including the coveted Donald Brittain Award for best social/political documentary, for <em>Utshimassits: Place of the Boss</em>.</p><p> </p><p>Walker also received a Gemini for best documentary director (<em>The Hand of Stalin</em>) and a Genie for best feature documentary (<em>Strand – Under the Dark Cloth</em>), a personal portrait of his mentor, the photographer and filmmaker Paul Strand. His film on the Cape Breton coal miners’ choir, <em>Men of the Deeps</em>, won three Gemini Awards, including best performing arts, best documentary photography and best sound, as well as a best director nomination. </p><p> </p><p>Walker’s directorial credits on Great Britain’s Channel 4 include <em>Hidden Children</em>, a film about children who concealed their Jewish identity to survive the Holocaust; <em>Orphans of Manchuria</em>, also nominated for the Donald Brittain Award; and the groundbreaking <em>Distress Signals</em>, based on the communication theories of Canadian scholar Harold Innis, which also received a nomination for a Donald Brittain Award. With <em>Utshimassits: Place of the Boss</em>, he turned his attention to a tragedy on Canadian soil – juxtaposing the powerful testimony of the Mushuau Innu of Davis Inlet with the vast Labrador landscape. Walker’s feature-length films include the Genie-nominated <em>The Fairy Faith</em>, <em>Tough Assignment</em>, <em>Strand – Under the Dark Cloth</em>, and the critically acclaimed feature drama <em>A Winter Tan</em>, starring Jackie Burroughs, which received seven Genie nominations including best motion picture and best director, and won best actress.</p><p> </p><p>Walker also co-produced, wrote and directed the provocative feature film <em>Passage</em>, a fiction/documentary for BBC and History Television about the search for the fabled Northwest Passage. The <em>Toronto Star</em> called it “One of the great triumphs in Canadian documentary film history.” His feature documentary <em>A Drummer’s Dream</em> was described by the <em>Globe and Mail</em> as “Beautifully shot and recorded with a lovely sound … (it) isn’t really about drumming, but about joy and self-expression.”</p><p> </p><p>His passionate commitment to the documentary form led him to co-found DOC, <a href="https://www.docorg.ca/" target="_blank">Documentary Organization of Canada</a> (formerly Canadian Independent Film Caucus).

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Coky Giedroyc and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>How To Build a Girl,</em> friendship, loyalty and family, discovery and how life unfolds in front of us in a real, messy and wonderful way and the uncertain personal journeys we all seem to take. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Johanna Morrigan (Beanie Feldstein) is a sixteen-year-old, extrovert from the outskirts of Wolverhampton with raging hormones and gigantic dreams. Even though she loves her big, boisterous, dysfunctional family, Johanna knows with absolute certainty that there is something bigger and better for her out in the world. And when she finds it, only then will she start ‘being me’. But quite what ‘me’ is, hasn’t been invented yet.</p><p> </p><p>With her inimitable wit and bottomless imagination, writing is surely her ticket to a brand-new self. After a couple of false starts, Johanna wins a job at top music magazine, D&ME and reinvents herself as revered and feared music critic – Dolly Wilde, the enfant terrible. As she slaughters her way to greater and greater success, the lines between Johanna Morrigan and Dolly Wilde begin to haze. Can she curate her success and hold onto her family, her heroes and her heart? And once you’ve built your girl, is it possible to tear her down and start again?</p><p> </p><p>Based on the novel by Caitlin Moran, <em>How To Build a Girl</em> is an irreverent coming of age comedy about what it’s really like to be a girl.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>About the Director: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Coky Giedroyc is a British, critically acclaimed director most recently celebrated for her work on Harlots, written by Moira Buffini for Monumental Television and Hulu.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016, she was awarded a BAFTA for best director of The Sound Of Music</p><p>Live starring Kara Tointon and Alexander Armstrong.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Shawney Cohen and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new <em>Rat Park</em>, addiction, mental health, context and environment, boredom and drug decriminalization and rats that meditate. </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://video.vice.com/en_uk/video/rat-park/5d9b7731be407759700814f1" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p>Watch on CRAVE TV and for more info on the <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_ca/series/e64vw6/rat-park" target="_blank">film head here</a>. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The secret to solving the world’s drug crisis lies in a forgotten psychology experiment involving rats and heroin. Thirty years later, RAT PARK shows how the experiment’s radical findings are more relevant than ever. Following three stories 10,000 miles apart, we witness why drug laws and addiction are not really about the drugs. They’re about the cages we live in. In Portugal, a ceramics artist struggles with an all-consuming heroin problem even in a society that unconditionally supports drug users On the other side of the world, a young grieving mother and a hardened photojournalist in the Philippines grapple with the extrajudicial killings of drug users.</p><p> </p><p>And in Palm Beach, an outlaw recovery worker fights for life-saving tools for drug users living in ground zero of America’s opioid crisis. Through the perspective of the rat experiment's creator and leading drug policy experts, RAT PARK shows us that a world where all drugs are legalized might be the only option in the aftermath of the futile war on drugs.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>About the Director: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Shawney Cohen is a Toronto based filmmaker who has created some of the most important documentaries for VICE. His film Dopesick gained international attention for being one of the first feature documentaries to uncover the street use and origins of fentanyl.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Garin Hovannisian, Serj Tankian and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their new film <em>I Am Not Alone</em>, politics and protest, Armenia and the Velvet Revolution, citizen protests, activism, advocacy pessimism and hope. </p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POHr1kOqez8" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>On Easter 2018, a man put on a backpack and went live on Facebook to announce that he was beginning a walk across Armenia. His mission: to inspire a velvet revolution — and topple the corrupt regime that enjoys absolute power in his post-soviet nation. With total access to all key players, I AM NOT ALONE tells the miraculous true story of what happens in the next 40 days.</p><br><p>Garin Hovannisian’s gripping documentary deftly follows the efforts led by journalist, politician, and activist Nikol Pashinyan to prevent the election of the country’s president, Serzh Sargsyan, as the new prime minister — a move that would essentially put Sargsyan in control of Armenia for life, making him a de facto dictator.</p><br><p>The movement begins hopelessly, with Nikol and just a handful of supporters — including a stray dog — setting out on a 14-day march from one side of the country to the capital Yerevan. As they clash against the regime, there are many moments when their efforts seem doomed to fail, like every democratic movement in Armenia before them. But this time something is different. Step by step, the marchers begin to capture the hearts and minds of the Armenian public. Within a few weeks, the country erupts in a spectacular revolution, as millions of citizens take to the streets, disperse across their neighborhoods, and stage some of the most creative, powerful, and surprising acts of civil disobedience in modern history. </p><br><p>This incredible political drama presents an emotional and inspiring roadmap for how a true democratic movement can achieve profound change against all odds. It is packed with rich and memorable characters, plot twists, and a true hero’s journey.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>About the Guests: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Garin Hovannisian</strong> has been an active participant in Armenia’s struggle for freedom, and has written about it for <em>The Atlantic, The New York Times</em>, and in his memoir <em>Family of Shadows</em>. He is the co-writer/director of the feature film <em>1915</em> (2015), a psychological mystery set 100 years after the Armenian Genocide, and praised by the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> as a “a high-minded version of <em>Birdman</em>…a creative way to do justice to such a monumental topic.” He splits his time between Los Angeles and Yerevan, Armenia, where he has founded the arts foundation Creative Armenia. His production company Avalanche Entertainment (est. 2014) has produced <em>I Am Not Alone</em> and <em>1915</em>, and a variety of forthcoming projects in film and television. </p><br><p><strong>Serj Tankian</strong> acted a composer and executive producer on the project and he is a Grammy-winning frontman of the band <em>System of a Down</em> has long been a musical inspiration to the democratic struggle in Armenia. He is the film’s composer and EP, and an interview subject. In addition to five albums with SOAD and five solo albums ranging from metal to jazz to orchestral symphony, Tankian has been composing films since 2015, including titles such as <em>1915</em> (2015), <em>Intent to Destroy</em> (2017),<em> Furious: The Legend of Krovat</em> (2017), and <em>Spitak</em> (2018).

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Natasha Luckhardt and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <a href="http://www.widowsofasbestos.com/" target="_blank">Town of Widows</a>, human rights, public engagement and picket lines, trust in the system, workplace justice, and why evidence is rarely neutral.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1579855939557" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p>Watch here on <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/episodes/town-of-widows" target="_blank">CBC Docs</a>. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Directed by Natasha Luckhardt and Rob Viscardis, <strong><em>Town of Widows </em></strong>is a documentary exposé of widows and workers in the “Electric City” of Peterborough, ON fighting for justice in a system stacked against them. </p><p> </p><p>Peterborough, ON., was home to a GE plant for over a century. With 6000 employees at its peak in the 1960’s and 1970’s, GE threw Christmas parties for the community of workers and helped to start the town’s university. But over time, employees and their families noticed more and more GE workers dying from cancer. </p><p> </p><p>Looking back, the warning signs and symptoms were there—the nosebleeds and headaches, the red patches on their skin, the coughs that wouldn’t go away—and workers had a hunch GE was making them sick. </p><p> </p><p>In <strong><em>Town of Widows</em></strong> co-directors Natasha Luckhardt and Rob Viscardis chronicle former GE workers and widows seeking compensation for decades of contamination that caused hundreds of fatal and chronic illnesses.

With 6000 employees at its peak in the 1960’s and 1970’s, GE threw Christmas parties for the community of workers and helped to start the town’s university. But over time, employees and their families noticed more and more GE workers dying from cancer. </p><p> </p><p>Looking back, the warning signs and symptoms were there—the nosebleeds and headaches, the red patches on their skin, the coughs that wouldn’t go away—and workers had a hunch GE was making them sick. </p><p> </p><p>In <strong><em>Town of Widows</em></strong> co-directors Natasha Luckhardt and Rob Viscardis chronicle former GE workers and widows seeking compensation for decades of contamination that caused hundreds of fatal and chronic illnesses. They open up to Luckhardt and Viscardis’ camera, sharing their anger with GE and frustration with the WSIB’s compensation system. First-hand accounts from survivors, and interviews with labour leaders, medical experts and Toronto Star reporter Sara Mojtehedzadeh, are woven together with archival photos and footage of the century old plant and decades long fight. </p><p> </p><p>The challenges they face are formidable.

Hurt people hurt people, as they say. The only thing the men and women in <em>Coppers</em> have in common is that they’re retired and ready to look back.

That same year, his film <em>When Jews Were Funny</em>, won the prize for Best Canadian Feature Film at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Michael Ungar and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new book, resilience, the seduction of hope, herd immunity, why selfishness often backfires and why the self help industry isn’t working.</p><p> </p><p>You can buy his book here: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/199943952X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=davpecliv-20&camp=15121&creative=330641&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=199943952X&linkId=1a049dab4431ab53e4c816aad9fab385" target="_blank">Change Your World: The Science of Resilience and The Path to Success</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p>How much can grit, motivation, and positive thinking actually matter when the world around us is starved of support and opportunity? A billion-dollar self-improvement industry always puts responsibility for change on our shoulders. But this approach, which owes more to the myths of rugged individualism and victim-blaming politics than to credible scientific research, produces few real and lasting improvements to our health and happiness.</p><br><p>Dr. Michael Ungar’s mind-bending new book, Change Your World: The Science of Resilience and The Path to Success (Sutherland House Book, May 30, 2019), reveals the emptiness of the self-improvement movement and offers instead a stunning new perspective on success and personal change. What we really need when things get tough and the odds are stacked against us, he writes, are strong support systems and an environment rich in opportunity. Using the science of resilience and real-life stories from across classes and cultures, he shows how nurturing spouses and families, supportive employers, and effective institutions are the real differences between success and failure in our lives. The good news is that it is easier to change your world than it is to change yourself.</p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong>Biography:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Dr. <a href="http://www.michaelungar.com/" target="_blank">Michael Ungar</a> is among the best known writers and researchers on the topic of resilience in the world. His work has changed the way resilience is understood, shifting the focus from individual traits to the interactions between people and their families, schools, workplaces, and communities. As the Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience and Professor of Social Work at Dalhousie University, as well as a family therapist, he has helped to identify the most important factors that influence the resilience of children and adults during periods of transition and stress.

| <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>Michael Ungar and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new book, resilience, the seduction of hope, herd immunity, why selfishness often backfires and why the self help industry isn’t working.</p><p> </p><p>You can buy his book here: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/199943952X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=davpecliv-20&camp=15121&creative=330641&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=199943952X&linkId=1a049dab4431ab53e4c816aad9fab385" target="_blank">Change Your World: The Science of Resilience and The Path to Success</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p>How much can grit, motivation, and positive thinking actually matter when the world around us is starved of support and opportunity? A billion-dollar self-improvement industry always puts responsibility for change on our shoulders. But this approach, which owes more to the myths of rugged individualism and victim-blaming politics than to credible scientific research, produces few real and lasting improvements to our health and happiness.</p><br><p>Dr. Michael Ungar’s mind-bending new book, Change Your World: The Science of Resilience and The Path to Success (Sutherland House Book, May 30, 2019), reveals the emptiness of the self-improvement movement and offers instead a stunning new perspective on success and personal change. What we really need when things get tough and the odds are stacked against us, he writes, are strong support systems and an environment rich in opportunity. Using the science of resilience and real-life stories from across classes and cultures, he shows how nurturing spouses and families, supportive employers, and effective institutions are the real differences between success and failure in our lives. The good news is that it is easier to change your world than it is to change yourself.</p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong>Biography:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Dr. <a href="http://www.michaelungar.com/" target="_blank">Michael Ungar</a> is among the best known writers and researchers on the topic of resilience in the world. His work has changed the way resilience is understood, shifting the focus from individual traits to the interactions between people and their families, schools, workplaces, and communities. As the Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience and Professor of Social Work at Dalhousie University, as well as a family therapist, he has helped to identify the most important factors that influence the resilience of children and adults during periods of transition and stress. He is the author of 15 books that have been translated into five languages, numerous manuals for parents, educators, and employers, as well as more than 170 scientific papers. Dr. Ungar’s immense influence comes from his ability to adapt ideas from his research and clinical practice into best-selling works like <em>Too Safe For Their Own Good: How Risk and Responsibility Help Teens Thrive</em> and <em>I Still Love You: Nine Things Troubled Kids Need from Their Parents</em>. His blog Nurturing Resilience appears on<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/nurturing-resilience" target="_blank"> Psychology Today’s</a> website.</p><br><p>Dr. Ungar is also the founder and Director of the<a href="http://www.resilienceresearch.org/" target="_blank"> Resilience Research Centre</a> where he coordinates over ten million dollars in research in more than a dozen countries.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Joe Berridge<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about cities and entropy, why they’re like purpose built machines, liberty, innovation, democracy and urban planning and why successful cities need immigrants. </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>About the Book:</strong></p><p> </p><p> There is no such thing as a perfect city, but great cities have moments of perfection - perfect streets or buildings, perfect places to raise a family or to relax with a coffee - and all strive for perfection when they undertake grand civic projects revitalizing their downtowns or waterfronts, or building innovation hubs, airports, and arenas, or reforming their governance systems, or integrating streams of new immigrants. </p><br><p>Cities, more than ever, are the engines of our economies and the ecosystems in which our lives play out, which makes questions about the perfectibility of urban life all the more urgent. Joe Berridge, one of the world’s leading urban planners, takes us on an insider’s tour of some of the world’s largest and most diverse cities, from New York to London, Shanghai to Singapore, Toronto to Sydney, Manchester to Belfast, to scrutinize what is working and what is not, what is promising and what needs to be fixed in the contemporary megalopolis. </p><br><p>We meet the people, politicians, and thinkers at the cutting edge of global city making, and share their struggles and successes as they balance the competing priorities of growing their economies, upgrading the urban machinery that keeps a city humming, and protecting, serving, and delighting their citizens. We visit a succession of great urban innovations, stop to eat in many of Joe’s favorite places, and leave with a startling view of the magical urban future that awaits us all.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>About Joe: </strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://prbythebook.com/experts/joe-berridge/" target="_blank">Joe Berridge</a>, a partner at Urban Strategies, is an urban planner and city builder who has had an integral role in the development of complex urban planning and regeneration projects in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Europe and Asia.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Judy Wood, Trevor Brisbin<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about the new film <em>Saint Judy</em>, a nation of immigrants, justice, idealism and realism, transformation and truth, hope, security and why sometimes fighting back matters.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=w8qvdfdQ9xA" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><br><p>Saint Judy tells the true story of Los Angeles immigration attorney Judy Wood, who single-handedly changed the United States law of asylum and saved countless lives in the process.</p><br><p>In a landmark case, one of her first as an immigration lawyer, Judy Wood represented an Afghan woman who fled her home country after being persecuted by the Taliban for opening a school for girls. After a tenacious battle both in and out of court, Judy's efforts culminated in arguments before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit where she fought to include women as a protected class.</p><br><p><strong><em>About the Guests:</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><em>Judy Wood</em> came to immigration law as a result of Salvadoran political prisoners, who were stranded in El Salvador during the 1980's when the Civil War was raging.

However, as a teenager, I had a profound ‘conversion’ experience that led me into evangelicalism. Straight from high school I went to Bible college, and on to seminary.

This is when I decided to fully lean into progressive faith and pursue a doctorate at Claremont School of Theology.</p><br><p>Trevor had spent the previous 15 years preaching to a medium-sized white evangelical and privileged church, where he had a voice and a platform.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Larry Weinstein and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies</em>, consumerism, art and persuasion, demagogues and Donald Trump, Che Guevara and why religion is the ultimate propaganda.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZP2H00aOR0" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In a world where access to media is unprecedented, the global conversation around the propagation of information, “alternative facts” and “fake news” has never been more heated. As media outlets become increasingly polarized, and as social media rules information feeds, where does propaganda come into play? How is it influencing changes in the world order? <em>Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies</em> demystifies the predominant means and methods of propagandist persuasion that have been employed by those seeking power. It explores and analyzes the present day landscape and contextualizes it by looking back at key epochs of history when propaganda defined nations and kept populations in check.</p><p> </p><p>From ancient cave drawings, to the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, to the unbridled stabs of Twitter, every form of media has been exploited in order to sway, awe and intimidate. The intellect is relegated to a distant second place to raw emotion that is fueled by sinister threats and unrealistic promises. The lie overrules the truth and becomes the new reality—alternative facts are dispensed in rants and raves. Propaganda has been at times relatively innocuous, but at others powerful and deadly, especially in the hands of the most infamously demonic demagogues through the ages.</p><br><p><strong>About the Director:</strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p>Weinstein began to make films as a teenager while attending Earl Haig Secondary School.He went on to attend York University's film school.

Best known for classical-music projects such as Ravel’s Brain, Beethoven’s Hair and Mozartballs, Weinstein made 36 films that have garnered dozens of awards from around the world, including three International Emmy Awards (and several other Emmy nominations) and 12 personal Canadian Screen/Gemini Awards, as well as major awards in Canada, the United States, France, The Czech Republic, Mexico, and Australia.</p><br><p>His films have been broadcast in over 40 countries and he has been the subject of many International film retrospectives including those at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, The Jakarta International Film Festival in Indonesia, Doc Aviv in Israel, MOFFOM (Music on Film-Film on Music) in the Czech Republic, The Look of Sound in Germany, Impara L’Arte in Italy, the Havana Film Festival in Cuba, and a recent tribute at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Lily Zepeda and Jack Sim<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Mr. Toilet, </em>constipation of thought, passion and purpose, normalizing the toilet globally and why we can’t solve problems we don’t talk about. </p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCh0g7sumcA" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>What do you get when you cross an eccentric self-made man with a load of crap? Jack Sim. To a stranger, he’s a guy obsessed with toilets, but to those who know him, he’s “Mr. Toilet,” a crusader for global sanitation. Born in the Singapore slums, Jack Sim knows firsthand the agonies of not having a proper loo. Now he’s dedicating his life to a crisis no one dares talk about: Poo.</p><br><p>Not having a place “to go” isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a problem that impacts 2.4 billion people worldwide. In India alone, 200,000 children die each year from lack of safe sanitation, while women are regularly raped because they have to defecate in public spaces. </p><br><p>Jack’s kids describe him as a 12-year old trapped in a 60-year old’s body. He’s full of jokes and it can be hard to take him seriously. But, he uses humor as his weapon to fight an uphill battle against bathroom taboos. He founded the World Toilet Organization and spent the last 13 years lobbying 193 countries to raise awareness for proper sanitation. He even successfully lobbied the United Nations to create World Toilet Day – the first international day of celebration for the toilet.</p><br><p>Mr. Toilet realizes there is a price to pay for being the world’s #2 man, but as a su-poo-hero he can’t quit. </p><br><p>For more info about the film <a href="https://mrtoiletfilm.com/" target="_blank">head here</a>. </p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>About the Guests:</em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><a href="http://lilyzepeda.com/" target="_blank">Lily Zepeda’s</a> passion for exploring unconventional stories began with a career in journalism, interviewing subjects ranging from Grammy award-winning musicians to Olympians. She went from TV production to embarking on a 5-year journey to make her first feature film,<em> Mr. Toilet: The World’s #2 Man. </em>Curiosity is the air she breathes. Every story she comes across she approaches it with humor, vulnerability and connection—the three elements that are consistent throughout her work as a storyteller. </p><br><p>She’s a Diversity Fellow and Accelerator Lab grantee from <em>Chicken & Egg Pictures</em>as well as a Hedgebrook Lab finalist. </p><br><p><strong> Jack Sim</strong>, founder of <a href="http://worldtoilet.org/" target="_blank">World Toilet Organization</a>, has been a successful businessman since age 24. Having achieved financial success in his 40s, Jack felt the need to change his direction in life and give back to humanity – he wanted to live his life according to the motto “Live a useful life”. Jack soon left his business and embarked on a journey that saw him being the voice for those who cannot speak out and fighting for the dignity, rights and health for the vulnerable and poor worldwide.</p><p> </p><p>Jack discovered that toilets were often neglected and grew concerned that the topic was often shrouded in embarrassment and apathy; talking toilets was taboo! Jack felt this led to the neglect of restrooms island wide. In 1998, he established the Restroom Association of Singapore whose mission was to raise the standards of public toilets in Singapore and around the world.</p><p> </p><p>Jack founded the World Toilet Organization and four years later and in 2004, Jack was awarded the Singapore Green Plan Award 2012 by Singapore’s National Environment Agency for his contribution to Environment. </p><p> </p><p>In 2007, Jack became one of the key members to convene the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance comprised of over 130 organizations active in the sanitation sector.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Darlene Naponse<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Falls Around Her, </em>Mother Earth, silence, love and laughter, Indigenous storytelling, shared stories and the Seven Grandfathers Teachings. </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmPKZKPvtaQ" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present.</p><p> </p><p>The idea for Falls Around Her came to writer and director Darlene Naponse about seven years ago, and over the years she would work on it between her many other artistic endeavors. Introduced to <a href="http://www.thefilmfarm.ca/" target="_blank">The Film Farm</a> by producer Christine Haebler as a filmmaker to watch, producers Jennifer Weiss, Simone Urdl and their producing partner on the film, Jamie Manning, soon began chatting with Darlene. When Darlene showed them an early draft of the script, they immediately fell in love with it. The Film Farm would spend the next year or so collaborating on creative concerns and taking over all of the funding issues so that Darlene could concentrate on making the best film possible. </p><p> </p><p>Honour the Seven Grandfathers teachings: Honesty – Wisdom – Respect – Bravery – Humility – Truth – Love. </p><p> </p><p>Those words would accompany Falls Around Her’s first callsheet and would be included in every callsheet during the shoot. For the Anishinaabe people, the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers is a set of teachings on human conduct toward others. It was a daily reminder to treat all creation with respect and the cast and crew took those words to heart every day and it contributed to a joyful set.</p><p> </p><p><strong>About the Director:</strong> </p><p> </p><p>Darlene is an Anishinaabe Kwe from Atikameksheng Anishnawbek - Northern Ontario. She was born and raised in her community and now works out of her studio located in Atikameksheng Anishnawbek.</p><p> </p><p>She is a writer, film director, and video artist. Her film work has been viewed internationally including the Sundance Film Festival in 2001/2002/2003. Her latest feature “Every Emotion Costs”, screened worldwide, winning various awards. Her art-based video work was installed in various galleries and programs nationally/internationally. She is currently working on a book of short stories. She worked with community leaders and elders to write and ratify the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Gchi-Naaknigewin (Constitution). She continues governance and First Nations and/human rights work in her community. She owns Pine Needle Productions an award-winning boutique Film/Video/Audio Recording Production Studio, located in Atikameksheng Anishnawbek.</p><p> </p><p>Darlene has built a wide range of work. She is passionate and pure as an independent artist. She remains creative control in all her films and continues to work with dedication to the protection of story, appropriation and respect to imagery, history, and tradition of First Nations people. Her work is deeply connected to her community, First Nations realities of the 21st century and</p><p>Mother Earth. Darlene is honored to listen to stories of sadness, rejoice, hope, rejection, reflection, optimism and an understating of just who we are as Native people living on Mother Earth. </p><p> </p><p>As a storyteller, Darlene is in search of imaginative images giving truth through word, film, art and song.</p><p> </p><p>Find out <a href="http://www.naponse.com/" target="_blank">more about Darlene here</a>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Image: </strong>Copyright<strong> </strong>Darlene Naponse and <a href="http://www.thefilmfarm.ca/" target="_blank">The Film Farm</a>.

The 2019 edition of National Canadian Film Day features more than 1000 screenings in Canada and internationally in 23 countries outside of Canada.</p><br><p><strong><em>Image Copyright: </em></strong>Reel Canada<em>. </em>Used with permission.</p><br><p><strong><em>Music Copyright</em></strong>: David Peck and Face2Face.

It is about family, extreme poverty, the hope and innocence of children, rescue and salvation, and the challenges we all face. The four Lopez children are ages 6 to 10 when we first meet them. They have never been to school. They cannot read or write. They are kids, prone to mischief and silliness. They rely on each other as siblings, playmates, companions, and friends. Unlike their parents, they don’t fully grasp what they don’t have. La Chureca is the only life, and only world, they’ve ever known.</p><br><p>Clean Hands is a powerful story of real human drama.

| <description><![CDATA[<p> </p><p>Melanie Wood and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Living in HOpe</em>, people as people, human centered healthcare, learning to live with others and why you should never ye your hair grey. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://vimeo.com/273416891" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.knowledge.ca/program/living-hope" target="_blank">Watch the Series</a> here on the Knowledge Network. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Living in HOpe is the culmination of more than a year of filming with unprecedented access at The HOpe Centre in North Vancouver. Each of the four Living in HOpe episodes offers a bold challenge to rethink how we perceive people living with mental illness. </p><p> </p><p>One in three Canadians will experience mental illness or a substance use disorder in their lifetime, while more than 600,000 Canadians have reported needing mental health care that isn’t provided. Despite this, and recent nationwide awareness campaigns to increase understanding of mental illness, there is still deep stigma associated with mental disorders, particularly those relating to psychosis or schizophrenia—as seen in the shame that many HOpe Centre patients experience.</p><p> </p><p>“Often we hear about mental illness only after someone has recovered. As a society we are used to hearing—and wanting—success stories, but the reality for many who experience mental disorders is that it is a long, sometimes lifelong struggle,” says Melanie Wood, writer and director of Living in HOpe.</p><p> </p><p>“By sharing stories of patients even when they are at their most vulnerable, we better understand that people living with mental illness are not ‘other’. They are just people. And they have a voice.” The documentary’s scenes are intimate, compassionate and dramatic. Patients share the circumstances that brought them to HOpe—and their dreams for the future. The series is surprisingly full of humour, jokes between patients, and witty remarks about their own illness.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Melanie Wood has written, directed, produced, and executive-produced a wide variety of current affairs and documentary programs. Her work as producer and documentary filmmaker reflects not only the pulse of the times, but the voices of those who inhabit them. Her work pursues themes that strike a personal chord, and indeed affect all of us in some way. Melanie’s produced and directed two documentaries on the borderlands between the Internet and the human spirit. Her documentary <em>A Stranger In Our Home,</em><strong> </strong>the disturbing tale of two teenage victims of Internet predators, has been extremely popular for both broadcasters and educators around the world. </p><p> </p><p>The groundbreaking documentary <em>O.com</em>, on cybersex addiction, was a finalist at the New York Festival. It also won the Platinum Award at Worldfest-Houston, the Jury Award at the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival and was selected to screen at the Montreal World Film Festival. Her documentary, <em>School Of Secrets,</em><strong><em> </em></strong>presents a tale of truth – and its consequences – in the story of a Vancouver teacher and the teenage girls he seduced. School Of Secrets premiered on <em>The Lens</em> on <em>CBC Newsworld </em>and won a Remi Award in Houston and a Gracie Award in New York for Best Documentary under 60 minutes.</p><p> </p><p>Wood’s international documentary credits also include <em>To Have and To Hold,</em> profiling the victims of stalkers, <em>The Sweet Assassin</em> revealing the devastating effects of diabetes in the First Nations community, <em>On Wings and Dreams: The Men Who Built Canada’s Airlines </em>an historical documentary for Global Television, and <em>Chasing The Cure: Brett Finlay, Man Against Microbe</em>, a one hour science biography in a series for Paperny Films broadcast on Discovery Health. </p><p> </p><p>Recently Melanie produced <em>Carbon Hunters</em>, a film by director Miro Cernetig for CBC, and BBC International. She also produced and directed <em>The Difference Makers: with Rick Hansen</em>, a prime time mini documentary series for Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium.

| <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p> </p><p>Melanie Wood and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Living in HOpe</em>, people as people, human centered healthcare, learning to live with others and why you should never ye your hair grey. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://vimeo.com/273416891" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.knowledge.ca/program/living-hope" target="_blank">Watch the Series</a> here on the Knowledge Network. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Living in HOpe is the culmination of more than a year of filming with unprecedented access at The HOpe Centre in North Vancouver. Each of the four Living in HOpe episodes offers a bold challenge to rethink how we perceive people living with mental illness. </p><p> </p><p>One in three Canadians will experience mental illness or a substance use disorder in their lifetime, while more than 600,000 Canadians have reported needing mental health care that isn’t provided. Despite this, and recent nationwide awareness campaigns to increase understanding of mental illness, there is still deep stigma associated with mental disorders, particularly those relating to psychosis or schizophrenia—as seen in the shame that many HOpe Centre patients experience.</p><p> </p><p>“Often we hear about mental illness only after someone has recovered. As a society we are used to hearing—and wanting—success stories, but the reality for many who experience mental disorders is that it is a long, sometimes lifelong struggle,” says Melanie Wood, writer and director of Living in HOpe.</p><p> </p><p>“By sharing stories of patients even when they are at their most vulnerable, we better understand that people living with mental illness are not ‘other’. They are just people. And they have a voice.” The documentary’s scenes are intimate, compassionate and dramatic. Patients share the circumstances that brought them to HOpe—and their dreams for the future. The series is surprisingly full of humour, jokes between patients, and witty remarks about their own illness.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Melanie Wood has written, directed, produced, and executive-produced a wide variety of current affairs and documentary programs. Her work as producer and documentary filmmaker reflects not only the pulse of the times, but the voices of those who inhabit them. Her work pursues themes that strike a personal chord, and indeed affect all of us in some way. Melanie’s produced and directed two documentaries on the borderlands between the Internet and the human spirit. Her documentary <em>A Stranger In Our Home,</em><strong> </strong>the disturbing tale of two teenage victims of Internet predators, has been extremely popular for both broadcasters and educators around the world. </p><p> </p><p>The groundbreaking documentary <em>O.com</em>, on cybersex addiction, was a finalist at the New York Festival. It also won the Platinum Award at Worldfest-Houston, the Jury Award at the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival and was selected to screen at the Montreal World Film Festival. Her documentary, <em>School Of Secrets,</em><strong><em> </em></strong>presents a tale of truth – and its consequences – in the story of a Vancouver teacher and the teenage girls he seduced. School Of Secrets premiered on <em>The Lens</em> on <em>CBC Newsworld </em>and won a Remi Award in Houston and a Gracie Award in New York for Best Documentary under 60 minutes.</p><p> </p><p>Wood’s international documentary credits also include <em>To Have and To Hold,</em> profiling the victims of stalkers, <em>The Sweet Assassin</em> revealing the devastating effects of diabetes in the First Nations community, <em>On Wings and Dreams: The Men Who Built Canada’s Airlines </em>an historical documentary for Global Television, and <em>Chasing The Cure: Brett Finlay, Man Against Microbe</em>, a one hour science biography in a series for Paperny Films broadcast on Discovery Health. </p><p> </p><p>Recently Melanie produced <em>Carbon Hunters</em>, a film by director Miro Cernetig for CBC, and BBC International. She also produced and directed <em>The Difference Makers: with Rick Hansen</em>, a prime time mini documentary series for Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium. She is currently producing <em>Liberia’77 </em>in association with Knowledge Network. <em>Liberia’77</em> is the personal photographic journey of director Jeff Topham that examines how despite time, war, distance and culture photography connects us all.</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://strangerproductions.ca/" target="_blank">Find out more about Melanie’s work here.</a></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Image Copyright: </em></strong>Melanie Wood and Stranger Productions<em>.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Charles Officer and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>Invisible Essence</em>, the <em>The Little Prince</em>, the personal and universal, a return to childhood, imagination, mystery, wonder and the contemplation of sunsets. </p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLxvR-UNz68" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><em>Invisible Essence: The Little Prince </em>explores the global legacy of <em>The Little Prince </em>75 years after its publication. Weaving the author Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s extraordinary biography with fascinating discussions of key sections of the book, the film explores the ways life and art reflect one another in curious ways. Indeed, the film reveals that St-Ex’s own story – his childhood, his love affair, his friendships, his politics, and his harrowing brushes with death – inform the story at every turn. </p><br><p>Working imaginatively with the famous line “what is essential is invisible to the eye”, the film introduces a modern day Little Prince – a seven year-old blind Pakistani-Canadian boy who absorbs the book for the first time – and follows him over the course of a day as he grapples with the meanings of the story he has just read. </p><br><p>Throughout, <em>Invisible Essence: The Little Prince</em> captures engaging conversations with an incredible range of individuals such as Mark Osborne (director of the animated film ‘The Little Prince’), Adam Gopnik (Staff Writer at <em>The New Yorker</em>), Rupi Kaur (Poet, <em>New York Times</em> Bestselling Author), Stacy Schiff (Pulitzer-Prize-winning biographer of St-Exupéry), and Olivier and François d'Agay (the great nephew and nephew of Antoine de Saint- Exupéry). </p><br><p>Although a fable, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s transcendent story suggests an ethical philosophy about life in its own way, a code of respect for humanity. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Charles Officer is the founder and creative director of <a href="http://www.canesugarfilmworks.com/" target="_blank">Canesugar Filmworks</a>.

A top neuroscientist performs an MRI scan of his brain to see if he is hard-wired for empathy. A researcher at Western University in Ontario tests his personality and makes a startling discovery.

Next of Kin profiles an innovative program at the Resource Association For Teens (RAFT) in St. Catharines, Ontario.

They dig into government records and databases, navigate social media networks, and carefully search through school yearbooks, phone directories and newspaper obituaries: anything that might offer leads to bring Jacob and Tahylour one step closer to finding their biological families. </p><br><p>What Jackie and Amanda help Jacob and Tahylour discover will change their lives in unexpected ways. <em>Next of Kin</em> is about the lasting scars of broken families and the urgent need to improve our child welfare system so children can grow up to lead healthy, productive lives.</p><br><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><br><p>Nadine Pequeneza is best known for her observational films offering unique access to character-driven stories about social justice.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Patricia Marcoccia and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film <em>Shut Him Down: The Rise of Jordan Peterson</em>, human rights and pronouns, fearful associations, differing world-views and sacred ceremonies.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JogZlEeJmjA" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><em>Shut Him Down: The Rise of Jordan Peterson</em> is the directorial debut of Patricia Marcoccia. It’s a timely one-hour point-of-view documentary film focusing on University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson’s controversial rise to fame from an unprecedented behind-the-scenes perspective. The film documents over 110 hours of vérité, fly-on-the-wall moments with Peterson, his family, activists, students and professors, ranging from staunch supporters of Peterson to those who vehemently oppose him.</p><p> </p><p>In fall 2016, Peterson published a video entitled “Professor Against Political Correctness,” thrusting him into the national spotlight for his criticisms of Canadian human rights legislation Bill C-16. In the video, Peterson argued that the law crosses a dangerous line with regards to freedom of expression because it enforces the use of alternate gender pronouns for persons who identify as a gender outside of male or female. Peterson’s views were immediately described as transphobic and dangerous by people like A.W. Peet, a self-described non-binary University of Toronto physics professor. As Dr. Peet states in the film, “Bill C-16 is not about cisgender people, it’s about protections for transgendered people.”</p><p> </p><p>Director Marcoccia, who was shooting another film about Peterson when the controversy ignited, stumbled into one of the biggest debates in Canada. As the debate ensued, media attention shifted from questions like “Is Peterson right or wrong about this debate,” to “who is this world-renowned professor and are his ideas dangerous?”</p><p> </p><p>“As a documentary filmmaker, my goal wasn’t to push out a message,” continues Marcoccia, “But it was important that I deeply understood what was at stake for people coming at this from different vantage points: non-binary people; activists; professors; students, and to create a film that enabled <em>each side</em> to voice itself on its own terms.”</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><br><p>Patricia Marcoccia is a Toronto-based filmmaker with 8 years of multidisciplinary experience in digital media production, journalism, and documentary film. Her first documentary short, <em>We Make Stories Out of Totem Poles, </em>2016, was screened at festivals internationally and her premiere feature-length documentary, <strong>Shut Him Down</strong>, aired on CBC in the fall 2018 and is available online.</p><br><p>Before her foray into documentary film, Patricia worked as a journalist and digital media producer with agencies that focus on social change mandates. She collaborated on innovative projects such as a Telefilm multi-city national workshop series on online marketing and multiplatform distribution for film, and Melting Silos, a trans media development workshop sponsored by NFB, Telefilm, CMPA and BC Film.</p><br><p>In 2011 Patricia participated in DOXA Documentary Film Festival’s Kris Anderson Program for emerging female filmmakers. She went on to work as associate producer for the interactive component of Canadian Screen Award nominated action documentary series, Battle Castle.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Jawad Rhalib and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>When Arabs Danced</em>, stereotypes, the gender gap and the oppression of women, art, fundamentalism and culture and the power of knowledge.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4VaJ0gK1s4" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Writer, director, and journalist Jawad Rhalib presents a timely exploration of Muslim identity in relation to artistic expression and harmful stereotypes, through archival footage, interviews, and evocative performances. As invested in mood as it is in message, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4VaJ0gK1s4" target="_blank">When Arabs Danced</a> forgoes conventional artist-profile tropes in favour of a weave of rehearsals, conversations, performances, and a trove of archival materials that remind us of the long and often sensual history of dance and music found throughout the Arab world. In the wake of the terror shockwave provoked by Daesh’s islamo-fascism, director Jawad Rhalib questions the many facets of Arab culture that have sadly been forgotten by western and middle-eastern media alike; its love for dancing and music, but also for literature, philosophy, and science. </p><br><p>These aspects, though, willingly ignored by both racists and religious zealots and fundamentalists, have always been an integral part of the great texture of the Arab identity. </p><br><p>Through some humorous clips of president Nasser’s public speeches addressing the Muslim Brotherhood about imposing on all Egyptian women the obligation of the hijab, the complexities behind a stage adaptation of Michel Houellebecq’s controversial book Submission and the many issues of gender identity in Arab societies, the film explores how Islamic fascism has suffocated the freedom, creativity and all progressive values of the Arab society.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Jawad Rhalib has worked as an author and journalist. His films include the documentaries <em>El Ejido</em>, <em>The Damned of the Sea</em> and <em>Le chant des tortues</em>, and the features <em>7, rue de la Folie</em>, <em>Insoumise</em>. <em>When Arabs Danced</em> is his latest film.</p><br><p>As an author and a director, Jawad Rhalib has oriented his work on social realism. He wrote and directed short, medium and full-length films and feature length documentaries.

| <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>Jawad Rhalib and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film <em>When Arabs Danced</em>, stereotypes, the gender gap and the oppression of women, art, fundamentalism and culture and the power of knowledge.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4VaJ0gK1s4" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Writer, director, and journalist Jawad Rhalib presents a timely exploration of Muslim identity in relation to artistic expression and harmful stereotypes, through archival footage, interviews, and evocative performances. As invested in mood as it is in message, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4VaJ0gK1s4" target="_blank">When Arabs Danced</a> forgoes conventional artist-profile tropes in favour of a weave of rehearsals, conversations, performances, and a trove of archival materials that remind us of the long and often sensual history of dance and music found throughout the Arab world. In the wake of the terror shockwave provoked by Daesh’s islamo-fascism, director Jawad Rhalib questions the many facets of Arab culture that have sadly been forgotten by western and middle-eastern media alike; its love for dancing and music, but also for literature, philosophy, and science. </p><br><p>These aspects, though, willingly ignored by both racists and religious zealots and fundamentalists, have always been an integral part of the great texture of the Arab identity. </p><br><p>Through some humorous clips of president Nasser’s public speeches addressing the Muslim Brotherhood about imposing on all Egyptian women the obligation of the hijab, the complexities behind a stage adaptation of Michel Houellebecq’s controversial book Submission and the many issues of gender identity in Arab societies, the film explores how Islamic fascism has suffocated the freedom, creativity and all progressive values of the Arab society.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Jawad Rhalib has worked as an author and journalist. His films include the documentaries <em>El Ejido</em>, <em>The Damned of the Sea</em> and <em>Le chant des tortues</em>, and the features <em>7, rue de la Folie</em>, <em>Insoumise</em>. <em>When Arabs Danced</em> is his latest film.</p><br><p>As an author and a director, Jawad Rhalib has oriented his work on social realism. He wrote and directed short, medium and full-length films and feature length documentaries. His movies El Ejido, The Law of Profit, The Damned of The Sea, The Turtle’s Song, The Swallows of Love, When Arbs danced, have been selected for competitions in prestigious festivals. </p><br><p>He won the Grand Prize for the movie El Ejido, The Law of Profit at Fespaco, the Audience Award for The Damned of The Sea at Vision du Réel Nyon, the Great Prize at Monte-Carlo IFF, the Great Prize EcoCamera at RIDM and was nominated for the European Academy Awards. </p><br><p>In 2014, he made his first feature fiction film: madness with selections at Montreal world film festival, Seminci – Valladolid International Film Festival, FIFF Namur, the Festival cinéma d’Agadir where the film won the prize of the best scenario and the prize for the female interpretation. </p><br><p>His second feature fiction film <em>Rebellious Girl</em> won the jury’s prize at Marrakech International Film Festival FIFM. </p><br><p>His last movie When Arabs Danced won the Audience Award and Best Film at Vision du Réel- Nyon 2018. </p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Image Copyright: </em></strong><em>Jawad Rahlib and R & R productions.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Koen Mortier<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film ‘<em>Angel</em>,’ hysterical and honest love, fantasy and relationships, the fate of celebrity, addiction and the profound existential choices we all make.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5frgvkOfubw" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>A fateful encounter between a Senegalese sex worker and a world-famous Belgian racing cyclist turns tragic, in director Koen Mortier’s atmospheric and ephemeral film about finite bodies and infinite loves.</p><p> </p><p>Lush, sensual, and hallucinatory, this latest film from auteur Koen Mortier is no ordinary love story. A wondrously cinematic adaptation of a novel by Belgian author Dimitri Verhulst, <em>Angel</em> tells the story of people from different worlds whose paths cross for one brief but unforgettable encounter.</p><p> </p><p>Fae is a Senegalese sex worker and Thierry (Vincent Rottiers) is a world-renowned Belgian racing cyclist who has known both acclaim and disgrace.

Mortier’s story telling is circular, prowling through past and present, dreams and fantasies. Rottiers’s subtly graded performance is both touching and troubling, while N’Diaye, who viewers might recognize from Quebec director Robert Favreau’s <em>Un dimanche à Kigali</em>, is simultaneously earthy and angelic.

| <description><![CDATA[<p>Alejandra Marquez Arbella<strong>, </strong>Ilse Salas<strong> </strong>and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film ‘<em>The Good Girls</em>,’ sexual, historical and political context, choice and options, forced marriage and how the personal becomes universal. </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0paBosD04mM" target="_blank">Trailer</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Synopsis </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>A well-to-do socialite and her husband must wrestle with the impact of Mexico’s 1982 economic crisis. In her elegant new film Alejandra Márquez Abella shines a crystalline light on the mores of Mexico's upper middle class during the country's debt crisis of 1982. As her camera glides through the monied world of the wives and fiancées of the well to do, she captures, with rigour, humour, and irony the details, subtle glances and muted conversations that determine the pecking order within the wealthy circles.</p><p> </p><br><p>Sofia and Fernando have it all — money, status, beautiful houses, servants. Fernando has inherited all his wealth, acquired by his father with the help of his uncle Javier. At dinner one night, Javier announces he is stepping aside. There are a few dark clouds on the horizon: their American business associates have backed out of a deal, and the President of Mexico has just appeared on television with ominous news about the economy. Initially, their world remains untroubled. Sofia watches with slight hauteur as two new arrivistes, a young woman and her rather gauche husband, try to enter her social circle. But gradually cracks appear in Sofia and Fernando's manicured lives, as the social and economic order starts to shift around them.</p><p> </p><p>Márquez Abella captures all of the interplay with complete assurance. Her film is perfectly cast, beautifully framed, and carefully observed - décor, clothes, setting. Nothing is out of place in this insightful, quasi-tragic look at a time that has many parallels in the present</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The film is inspired by the books of the famous Mexican contemporary writer, María Guadalupe Loaeza Tovar. She wrote about 40 books, portraying the Mexican upper class including Las Niñas Bien, Las Reinas de Polanco, Debo, Luego Sufro and Compro, Luego Existo. With her usual wit and poignancy, Guadalupe Loaeza delivers a series of stories as entertaining as they are revealing. She is a famous chronicler, an astute observer and a sharp critic of the Mexican bourgeoisie and the pos-1985 democratization of Mexico. At first, the characters and situations seem to simply be imaginations and stories made up by the author. However, one can take a look at Mexico’s history of the past three decades and realize that everything described is a part of the national, tragic reality. The men and women throughout these pages are representative of a particular social sector whose habits, attitudes, and behaviors are described with meticulous realism.</p><br><p> </p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Alejandra Marquez Abella was born in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, raised in Mexico City. She studied filmmaking at Centre d’Estudis Cinematographics de Catalunya in Barcelona. </p><p> </p><p>Her short ‘5 Memories’ was exhibited in over 140 festivals around the world. ‘Semanta Santa,’ her first feature, premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and visited festivals such as SXSW and Karlovy Vary. ‘The Good Girls’ is her second feature.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Image Copyright: </em></strong><em>Woo Films and </em>Alejandra Marquez Arbella<em>.

Fernando has inherited all his wealth, acquired by his father with the help of his uncle Javier. At dinner one night, Javier announces he is stepping aside. There are a few dark clouds on the horizon: their American business associates have backed out of a deal, and the President of Mexico has just appeared on television with ominous news about the economy. Initially, their world remains untroubled. Sofia watches with slight hauteur as two new arrivistes, a young woman and her rather gauche husband, try to enter her social circle. But gradually cracks appear in Sofia and Fernando's manicured lives, as the social and economic order starts to shift around them.</p><p> </p><p>Márquez Abella captures all of the interplay with complete assurance. Her film is perfectly cast, beautifully framed, and carefully observed - décor, clothes, setting. Nothing is out of place in this insightful, quasi-tragic look at a time that has many parallels in the present</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The film is inspired by the books of the famous Mexican contemporary writer, María Guadalupe Loaeza Tovar. She wrote about 40 books, portraying the Mexican upper class including Las Niñas Bien, Las Reinas de Polanco, Debo, Luego Sufro and Compro, Luego Existo. With her usual wit and poignancy, Guadalupe Loaeza delivers a series of stories as entertaining as they are revealing. She is a famous chronicler, an astute observer and a sharp critic of the Mexican bourgeoisie and the pos-1985 democratization of Mexico. At first, the characters and situations seem to simply be imaginations and stories made up by the author. However, one can take a look at Mexico’s history of the past three decades and realize that everything described is a part of the national, tragic reality. The men and women throughout these pages are representative of a particular social sector whose habits, attitudes, and behaviors are described with meticulous realism.</p><br><p> </p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Alejandra Marquez Abella was born in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, raised in Mexico City. She studied filmmaking at Centre d’Estudis Cinematographics de Catalunya in Barcelona. </p><p> </p><p>Her short ‘5 Memories’ was exhibited in over 140 festivals around the world. ‘Semanta Santa,’ her first feature, premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and visited festivals such as SXSW and Karlovy Vary. ‘The Good Girls’ is her second feature.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Image Copyright: </em></strong><em>Woo Films and </em>Alejandra Marquez Arbella<em>.

And how does the burgeoning global demand impact the indigenous cultures who grow the food and depend on it as a staple? <a href="https://www.thesuperfoodchain.com/" target="_blank"><em>‘The Superfood Chain’</em></a> is a beautiful cinematic documentary that investigates how the super food industry affects the lives of farming families from Bolivia, Ethiopia, Philippines, and Haida Gwaii.</p><p> </p><p>Every year, the western world is introduced to a new ‘superfood’ that boasts extraordinary nutritional features, and year after year we buy them. The Superfood Chain is a feature documentary that explores the facts and myths behind superfoods, and reveals the ripple effect of the ‘Superfood’ industry on farming and fishing families around the world. Shot on location in four countries, the <a href="https://tvo.org/article/about/tvo-original-the-superfood-chain-explores-the-truth-behind-some-of-the-trendiest-foods-in-the-world-starting-thanksgiving-day" target="_blank">TVO</a> produced film features the lush landscapes of Bolivia, Ethiopia, Philippines, and Haida Gwaii in Canada, following four farming and fishing families.

But when my six-year-old daughter asked me where her quinoa crusted salmon came from, I had no answers. When I started to look into it, what I discovered was eye-opening.</p><p> </p><p> While superfoods have become a globalized trend, few people know if they’re really that great for you, and even fewer realize the profound impact that the superfood industry has on the farmers who produce them and the indigenous communities who rely on them as a staple food. The Superfood Chain takes a closer look at the superfoods we eat as well as the lives of superfood producing families around the world.</p><p> </p><p> In this film, I travel to meet superfood farmers and fisherfolk, to witness firsthand the impact the world’s obsession with superfoods. How have their lives changed since the superfood boom? How have their diets changed? And what can we do as consumers to help sustainable practices in farming and fishing communities?</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Biography</strong></p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.annshin.com/" target="_blank">Ann Shin</a> is an award-winning Director and Producer known for beautiful, compelling documentary films, series and innovative interactive projects.
