Composition
Everybody to Kenmure Street
A captivating account of the power of civil resistance. In May 2021, hundreds of residents of an ordinary neighborhood in Glasgow rise up in protest when immigration officers threaten to remove two of their neighbors.
Citizen Osama
Amid the bombardments in Gaza, journalist and new father Osama documents the daily devastation with his camera and smartphone. People try to preserve their resilience and hope as they search the rubble for food and solace.
How Much Longer
How do you approach life when death is drawing closer and you don’t know how much time you have left? Five people with incurable cancer speak directly to the camera, sharing their concerns and questions with their oncologist.
Nuisance Bear
In Canada, winter ice is freezing later and later, and polar bears are increasingly seeking food in populated areas. The Canadian government relocates the problem by moving the animals to areas inhabited by Inuit people.
