The Monster Among Us
This film documents the
alarming rise of anti-Semitism in Europe today. It examines
this wave of anti-Semitism against European Jews and
their institutions, mainly from the point of view of
those who have directly experienced the violence or live every day with the threat. In recent conversations
with American Jews as well as non-Jews, it's surprising
by how many are un-informed about the problem. Some have
heard about the violence in France, but most are totally
unaware of what's happening in the rest of Europe.
A Fair To Remember
The
history of the State Fair of Texas mirrors the history of
Dallas and North Texas – its politics, its entrepreneurial
spirit, its racial and cultural tensions, its conflicts between
big business and community interests. It chronicles the city
from a little village on the Trinity River to the boomtown
of today. While the Fair has contributed to the arts, culinary,
and business cultures of Dallas and North Texas and could
be described as a history filled with prosperity, the Fair
also reflected the society's changing values. It's been a
focal point for community memory, the psychological glue for
several generations. (Home Video
