“America the Beautiful” may be America’s most beloved song. But few know about the fascinating life of successful author and Wellesley College professor Katharine Lee Bates, the woman whose poetic words inspired the song and provide its lyrics. Her story should not be forgotten, nor its context within the tumultuous period of American history which influenced Bates and inspired the words many Americans still sing today.

Bottle Conditioned explores the small Belgian community where lambic beer—one of the oldest, rarest styles of beer—is made. The film goes beyond the beer, following three of the most revered lambic producers at a pivotal point in time where each grapple with the growing global demand for their beers.

Ultimate Citizen is a celebration of resilience and a vision of a more welcoming America. The film follows Jamshid Khajavi, a 65-year-old Iranian American public school counselor, as he mentors the members of an Ultimate frisbee team assembled from the immigrant and refugee students arriving at his inner-city school. Unassuming and compassionate, Jamshid coaches the kids to belong—both on the team and in their new community—on their way to compete in the world’s largest mixed youth Ultimate tournament: Spring Reign.

Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell live in an area of east London plagued by debt, which impoverishes families, communities and public services. They devise a plan to produce and sell currency-themed artwork and buy up over $1 million of local debts with the proceeds—then symbolically destroy the debt in the shadow of London’s financial district. Along the way, they meet with economists, politicians and anti-debt campaigners in America to discover how debt is created and leveraged in our economy.

In the past 40 years, multinational corporations have shaken up the global economy. Despite earning over $3 trillion in profits each year they pay hardly any taxes. Combining stories from four continents with futuristic animations inspired by the Star Wars universe, Tax Wars clearly and candidly illustrates how multinationals move and manipulate profits in order to avoid taxation.

For the first time, a single documentary includes both substantive evidence for other animals’ sentience and investigations into the hidden animal-using industries. Humans and Other Animals takes viewers on an epic journey—from witnessing firsthand how animals think, use language and feel love, to dangerous investigations of powerful industries using custom-built surveillance equipment and never-before-attempted tactics.

Friends Catherine and Hannah take on a grueling 56-day drive along Central Asia's Pamir Highway, which runs from southern Uzbekistan through Tajikistan. Their journey brings them to the doorsteps of women from all walks of life, revealing a quiet women's movement largely ignored by Western media.

Equal parts rumination, observation, and philosophical meditation on modern and classical ideas of animal personhood, Michel Negroponte's essay film HERD follows a group of Belted Galloway cattle as they go about their seasonal routine, revealing the cow's essence and challenging us to think differently about our fellow living animal beings
