A Force More Powerful:Chile, Poland,Denmark
The Singing Revolution
Between 1986 and 1991, the people of Estonia protested against their Soviet occupiers in large rallies. Although these protests were fundamentally peaceful, the Estonians used a weapon powerful enough to rattle an empire: song. Patriotic songs, to be precise, which the Soviets had outlawed in Estonia. Thousands upon thousands would assemble to sing in defiance. This documentary unveils the story of a population that stood up against their oppressors with nothing but their voices and their pride.
Peace Officer
"The first major documentary on a topic of fast-rising public interest — the increasing
militarization of U.S. police departments — “Peace Officer” turns out to be as engrossing and well crafted as it is timely" – VARIETY
"A powerful and important film about policing tactics that have crept into everyday usage with little scrutiny" -- THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
