Sinopsis
Mother, the film, breaks a 40-year taboo by bringing to light an issue that silently fuels our largest environmental, humanitarian and social crises - population growth. Since the 1960s the world population has nearly doubled, adding more than 3 billion people. At the same time, talking about population has become politically incorrect because of the sensitivity of the issues surrounding the topic- religion, economics, family planning and gender inequality. The film illustrates both the over consumption and the inequity side of the population issue by following Beth, a mother, a child-rights activist and the last sibling of a large American family of twelve, as she discovers the thorny complexities of the population dilemma and highlights a different path to solve it.
En un futuro distópico en el que la sobrepoblación y la hambruna han obligado al gobierno a implantar una política de un único hijo, siete hermanas, cada una con el nombre de un día de la semana, luchan por sobrevivir y pasar inadvertidas haciéndose pasar por una sola persona cuando salen a la calle: Karen Settman. Pero un día una de ella, Lunes, desaparece sin dejar rastro. Las otras hermanas intentarán encontrarla.
Un experimento para solucionar el calentamiento global acabó con la mayoría de vida existente en el planeta.

La vida transcurre plácidamente en una megalópolis del siglo XXIII. Sus habitantes dedican la mayor parte del tiempo a gozar de los placeres de la vida y frecuentan tiendas en las que pueden cambiar de personalidad y de aspecto físico, gracias a la cirugía plástica instantánea. Sin embargo, al cumplir los 30 años, deben morir. Logan, un policía encargado de cazar a los que huyen de la muerte, decide también rebelarse y huir hacia el desierto que rodea la ciudad.
En el año 2017, una corporación ha ideado la construcción de una fortaleza de alta tecnología que intenta conseguir la prisión más implacable: la prisión mental. Pero el experimento se enfrenta a un poderoso y "poco convincente" recluso: un hombre inocente.
Estamos en el futuro de La Tierra, en un mundo devastado en el cual sobreviven unos cuantos aventureros que inician una búsqueda de chatarra que pueda ser comercializada. Hasta el refugio de un pequeño comerciante llega un extraño portando un misterioso cargamento; se trata de una cabeza metálica de lo que parece fue un viejo robot. El objeto es adquirido por Moses, un explorador de aquel mundo, el cual lo lleva a su chica, una joven escultora llamada Jill. Pero el artefacto cobra vida y empieza a destruir a todo aquel que se ponga en su camino. El secreto de su origen es revelado: la máquina tiene por nombre Mark-13, y deben detenerla antes de que acabe con todos.
Procreation is the social duty of all fertile women, was the political thinking during the 1960s and 1970s in Romania. In 1966, Ceaucescu issued Decree 770, in which he forbade abortion for all women unless they were over forty or were already taking care of four children. All forms of contraception were totally banned. The New Romanian Man was born. By 1969, the country had a million babies more than the previous average. Romanian society was rapidly changing. By using very interesting archival footage and excerpts from old fiction films and by interviewing famous personalities from that time – gynecologists or mothers who were part of the new society - the director revives this period of tremendous oppression of personal freedom. Many deaths were caused by the mere fact that women, including wives of secret Romanian agents, famous TV presenters, and actresses, had to undergo illegal abortions. Many women were jailed for having them.

We are told that cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease. At least 40 million people are currently taking cholesterol-lowering medications, known as statins, and millions more people are avoiding foods that contain saturated fat and cholesterol. The basic idea is that dietary saturated fat raises cholesterol levels, and these two substances somehow clog-up our arteries, causing a heart attack. This idea is often referred to as the diet-heart hypothesis. However, a number of doctors and researchers have been challenging this hypothesis for decades, and the latest heart disease statistics reveal some alarming facts.
Rethinking Cancer is an educational documentary film that provides a rare look into the psychological and therapeutic journeys of five men and women who used biological alternative cancer therapies to overcome serious illness. Their stories represent successes that mainstream medicine and the public ought to know about. Four of the featured subjects had been diagnosed with cancer; two of these patients were considered terminal cases. The fifth patient had a severe case of Lyme disease. All five have outlived their diseases, between 15 and nearly 40 years, thus far.

Imagine a world where the trapped emotions, fears, anxieties and unprocessed life experiences we hold in our bodies are the source for everything that ails us. That’s the world we live in. Now imagine a world where everyone is manifesting from their heart the perfect creation that’s inside each of us. Imagine a world where abundance, inner peace, longevity and loving relationships abound. Imagine emotion experts from around the world sharing their wisdom and negative-emotion clearing techniques to light a new pathway for humanity. Imagine we are sacred, spiritual beings here for a much larger reason, serving a much higher purpose, a divine purpose. That’s where we’re going.

The story of the water fluoridation controversy which has arisen from moral, ethical, political and safety concerns regarding the fluoridation of public water supplies. The controversy occurs mainly in English-speaking countries, as Continental Europe does not practice water fluoridation. Instead, fluoride is added to most table salt in Europe. Those opposed argue that water fluoridation imposes ethical issues, may cause serious health problems, is not effective enough to justify the costs, and has a dosage that cannot be precisely controlled.
At the focal point of this movement, and of this film, are the farmers and chefs who are creating a truly sustainable food system. Their collaborative work has resulted in great tasting food and an explosion of consumer awareness about the benefits of eating local. Attention being paid to the local food movement comes at a time when the failings of our current industrialized food system are becoming all too clear. For the first time in history, our children's generation is expected to have a shorter lifespan than our own. The quality, taste and nutritional value of the food we eat has dropped sharply over the last fifty years. Shipped from ever-greater distances, we have literally lost sight of where our food comes from and in the process, we've lost a vital connection to our local community and to our health.
