Unfinished Business
In the spring of 1942, more than 110,000 American citizens of Japanese
ancestry were uprooted from their homes and businesses and incarcerated
in desolate relocation camps. Without hearings or trials, men, women
and children were evacuated under Executive Order 9066--the Wartime
Relocation Act. UNFINISHED BUSINESS is the Oscar-nominated story of
three Japanese-American resistors who courageously defied the
government order and refused to go, resulting in their conviction and
imprisonment. (1985, 58 mins.)

The Most Dangerous Man in America - Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers

Nixon’s resignation and the end of the Vietnam War. (2009, 94 mins.)

Beer Wars
In America, size matters. The bigger you are, the more power you have, especially in the business world.
Director Anat Baron takes you on a no holds barred exploration of the
U.S. beer industry that ultimately reveals the truth behind the label
of your favorite beer. Told from an insider’s perspective, the
film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that
dominate one of America’s favorite industries.
Beer Wars begins as the corporate behemoths are being challenged by
small, independent brewers who are shunning the status quo and creating
innovative new beers. The story is told through 2 of these
entrepreneurs – Sam and Rhonda – battling the might and
tactics of Corporate America. We witness their struggle to achieve
their American Dream in an industry dominated by powerful corporations
unwilling to cede an inch. (2009, 89 mins.)
