In sixteen chapters containing four and a half hours of materials, Tracks Across Sand offers a unique chance to travel to the edge of the Kalahari, to a struggle for indigenous rights, and into the heart of contemporary South Africa. Driven from their lands, forced into a life of destitution, and denied the right even to speak their own languages, the ‡Khomani San fight for their heritage. Culled from over 130 hours of video recorded between 1996 and 2010, Tracks presents a unique record of the ‡Khomani San, bringing together the story of Africa's first Bushman claim, from preparation through to ten years after the claim was granted. Seen through the eyes and told in the words of the ‡Khomani San themselves, this film chronicles the struggle for indigenous rights by a people who are defying a history that has attempted and failed to make them disappear.

Неожиданный и неоднозначный взгляд на историю развития цивилизации. Программа раскрывает огромный риск, которому подвергает себя человечество, когда использует современное программное обеспечение в применении к примитивному древнему «компьютеру», коим является наш мозг, практически не изменившийся за 50 тысяч лет. Мы отправимся в грандиозное путешествие, чтобы проследить свой путь от обитателя пещер до покорителя космоса. Рональд Райт - автор бестселлера «Краткая история прогресса», положенного в основу фильма – демонстрирует, с какой регулярностью человечество наступает на грабли прогресса: придумав технологию для сегодняшней потребности, оно завтра же вынуждено расплачиваться за содеянное. В фильм вошли поучительные сюжеты о китайском автомобильном клубе, об акулах большого бизнеса с Уолл-стрит и экологической полиции, которая пытается спасти леса в бассейне Амазонки. Современной цивилизации грозит гибель от чрезмерного потребления, а другой планеты в запасе у нас нет.

Today the technology exists to weaponize space, a massive American industry thrives, and nations are maneuvering for advantage. PAX AMERICANA tackles this pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the World capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat? With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.
