The former is a symbol, a venerated figure; the latter is a “cuate,” as they say in Mexico, a buddy with whom you can always count.

In the period 1891-1927, Henriette Roland Holst goes through a dramatic development. As an aspiring poet from an affluent bourgeois milieu she throws herself, full with idealism and conviction, into the labour movement. Within the various socialistic parties however, a fierce battle on direction takes place, wherein Henriette has trouble finding her place. After returning disillusioned from a trip to the Soviet Union, she does not feel at home in any leftist party. Later she will recollect on this period in her biography "Het vuur brandde voort" (translation: "The fire rages on"). The film reconstructs this period with the use of old film material combined with texts by Henriette Roland Holst herself: fragments from letters, poems, speeches and books, sparingly supplemented with personal commentary by the filmmaker.

This film, directed by Dominique GAUTIER, takes the viewer on a worldwide excursion into the history and structure of the Esperanto language, introducing its present-day speakers.

In 1986, Ross McElwee (Sherman's March) and Marilyn Levine were making a film about the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall, when the imposing structure was still very much intact as the world’s most visible symbol of hardline Communism and Cold War lore. They thought they were making a documentary on the community of tourists, soldiers, and West Berliners who lived in the seemingly eternal presence of the graffiti emblazoned eyesore. But in 1989, as the original film neared completion, the Wall came down, and McElwee and Levine returned to Berlin, this time to capture the radically different atmosphere of the reunified city.

마이클 무어는 치열했던 2000년 대선부터 시작해서 실패한 텍사스 석유재벌에서 미국 대통령이 되기까지의 부시 대통령의 가능할 것 같지 않은 일련의 역사를 거꾸로 거슬러 올라간다. 그리고 나서 마이클 무어는 대통령 일가와 측근의 가까운 친구들과 사우디 왕가와 빈 라덴 일가 사이의 개인적 우정과 사업적 연계성을 보여주며, 공개되어서는 안 될 대통령의 판도라 상자 뚜껑을 열어 제친다. 마이클 무어는 이러한 연관성이 빈 라덴 일가가 911테러 직후 광범위한 FBI의 수색 과정 없이 사우디를 벗어 날수 있도록 허가하는 결정으로 이어졌는가를 영화 내내 집요하게 파고 든다. 또한, 마이클 무어는 국가 방위의 이러한 허점과 기본적인 인권을 침해하는 “애국 법”이 제정되면서 끊임 없이 테러의 공포에 사로잡혀 있는 한 나라와의 명확한 불일치에 대해 집중한다. 또 다른 미스터리는 미국 국경은 재정부족 때문에 위험천만하게도 허술하게 방치되어 있다는 사실이다. 주된 이유는 부시 행정부가 지구반대편에 있는 이라크와의 전쟁을 준비 하는데 엄청난 재원을 할당했기 때문이다.
