Composition
My Word Against Mine
Five people who hear voices undergo a new treatment: a psychiatrist invites the voices to take the floor. The sessions reveal how this revolutionary approach allows patients to gradually get a handle on what’s going on inside their minds.
Coexistence, My Ass!
Former UN diplomat Noam Shuster-Eliassi was once a poster child for peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis, but that mild-mannered image no longer fits her. She now rebels against the injustice with her own acerbic comedy show.
Kabul, Between Prayers
A humanistic and complex portrait of 23-year-old Samim: brother, husband, Taliban soldier. He struggles with a difficult marriage and the clash between a morally unpredictable reality and his fundamentalist religious ideology.
Steal This Story, Please!
An impressive portrait of the New York-based independent investigative journalist Amy Goodman, who reports courageously on global injustices. At a time when press freedom in the US is under threat, these are hitting closer and closer to home.
