Directed by Zach Niles and Banker White (USA) The remarkable story of a group of six Sierra Leonean musicians who come together to form a band while living in a West African refugee camp.
First-time filmmakers Zach Niles and Banker White started SodaSoap Productions in 2002 in support of their the documentary film 'Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars' (2006). "SodaSoap" comes from the title of an All Stars song that encourages people to take pride in what they can produce on their own. It has become a guiding artistic theme for the duo, who are recipients of a 2008 Creative Capital Foundation Grant for "We Own TV," a collaborative media project that promotes self-expression through visual media by bringing filmmaking education and equipment to Sierra Leonean youth. Project participants will collaboratively create and produce their own independent media which will be distributed via "We Own TV's" broadcast and online partners. Zach and Banker also continue to work closely with their friends "Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars" who, since the release of the film have become international stars and strident advocates for refugee rights. The SodaSoap Productions schedule is full as planning is under way to record a new album with the band later this year and documentary projects in Haiti and Cuba are currently in production.

Operation Homecoming is a documentary that explores the firsthand accounts of American servicemen and women through their own words. The film is built upon a project created by the National Endowment for the Arts to gather the writing of servicemen and women and their families who have participated in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through interviews and dramatic readings, the film transforms selections from this collection of writing into a deep examination of the experiences of the men and women serving in America's armed forces.
Richard E. Robbins (director) is an award-winning producer and director who has been making documentaries for PBS, cable, and network television for more than a decade. The programs have ranged from the historical to the political to present-day breaking news. From 1998 to 2004 he made documentaries for Peter Jennings at ABC News, traveling to India, Pakistan, and the disputed region of Kashmir to produce Dark Horizon -- an in-depth look at the nuclear standoff. He currently lives in Los Angeles

Jack's scribbling experience includes many news and opinion pieces in small newspapers, for which he received a Society of Professional Journalists editorial writing award and the Darrell Bob Houston Journalism Prize before accidentally growing up and moving into the family business.

This short documentary offers a unique and intimate perspective into the thoughts of a Moroccan imam and his wife as they discuss their romance. They describe their thoughts about how to build a deep, trusting, and enduring relationship in this film that shows the specific ways the Islamic faith relates to the universal concepts of love and respect.
Jehane Noujaim is the director of, among other films, the award-winning documentaries Control Room and Startup.com. Raised in Cairo, Egypt, she attended Harvard University and graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Visual Arts and Philosophy. She has worked for MTV's News and Documentary Division as a segment producer for the series Unfiltered, and as a director and cinematographer on films such as Born Rich, Only the Strong Survive, and Down from the Mountain. In 2006, Noujaim won the prestigious TED Prize, an annual award in which the recipients are granted a wish. Jehane's wish -- to create a day in which the world comes together through film -- was the catalyst for Pangea Day.

A subway in Lyon: "Ladies and Gentlemen, ever so sorry to bother you. Don't worry, I'm not here to beg for money. Let me introduce myself. My name's Antoine. I'm 29. I recently read in a magazine that there are about 5 million single women in France. Where are they? I'm looking for a lady aged between 18 and 55 who's also had trouble meeting someone in a conventional way and who wouldn't mind giving a honest relationship with someone a shot..."

Directed by: Ronit Avni and Julia Bacha (Brazil / Canada / Israel / occupied Palestinian territories)
The most important story in the Middle East is not being told on the nightly news. The true heroes of this conflict use something more powerful than bullets and bombs. This is the story of people who lost everything except the courage to face their enemies.
Ronit Avni is the Founder and Executive Director of Just Vision, a nonprofit that widens the influence of Palestinian and Israeli grassroots peace builders. She has co-produced short videos and online video advocacy features in collaboration with filmmakers in Senegal, Burkina Faso, the United States and Brazil while working for Peter Gabriel's human rights organization, WITNESS. She wrote and produced a short documentary film, Rise, with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan.
Originally from Brazil, Julia Bacha came to New York in 1998 to study Middle Eastern history and politics at Columbia University. Alongside her academic studies, she pursued her interest in documentary photography by portraying life in Cuba, Kashmir, the Brazilian Amazon and the Blue Mountains in Jamaica. Julia Bacha recently co-wrote and edited the critically acclaimed documentary Control Room, about Al Jazeera's coverage of the latest war in Iraq, for which she was nominated for the 2005 Writer's Guild of America Award.
