In 1971, Uruguayan journalist and writer Eduardo Galeano published his landmark work Open Veins of Latin America, in which he comprehensively described the centuries of economic exploitation of Latin America. Almost 40 years later, filmmaker Gonzalo Arijon reevaluates the situation. His search takes him from the soybean plantations of the Brazilian Amazon to the tin mines of Bolivia to the deep jungles of Ecuador. Arijon’s politically committed film allows the local populations to speak for themselves, interspersing this with archival footage of speeches by Hugo Chávez, Lula da Silva and Evo Morales. Galeano himself also speaks—sometimes in poetic language— about how the rise of socialist governments in the early 21st century is benefitting Latin America, and what more can be done.

Forty million people and countless species of flora and fauna depend on the rivers of the Rio de la Plata basin. But there is a development initiative, the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway Project, which aims to change the natural courses of these rivers and build a “Super Highway River” for the transport of grain and raw materials. If this project is implemented, what will the consequences be for society and for the environment?

Producer's Assistant
Оказывается, 2000 лет назад волхвы слегка промахнулись и из-за небольшой астрономической ошибки явили, было, свои дары не тому новорожденному, которому следовало. Дитя звали Брайан, и он просто родился в тот же час и лишь домом дальше, чем Сами-Знаете-Кто. По причине сего инцидента потом все путали Брайана с Мессией, а ему было лень разубеждать своих поклонников. Однако в почитании масс помимо приятной стороны есть и другая, и вот Брайан с тревогой обнаруживает себя в роли отчаянного религиозного лидера народного Фронта Иудеи, борющегося за свободу от римского ига — и в эпицентре больших неприятностей с оккупационными властями!…

In 1979 filmmaker John Samson went on the road with a 22-year-old Eric Bristow, one of the rising stars of British darts. This film depicts Bristow between major competitions as he travels around the pubs and working men's clubs of Britain, challenging the local heroes and playing exhibition matches. Bristow takes on all-comers and breezily faces down a belligerent local radio host.
