- DirectorEric BergkrautStarsBoris BerezovskyGarry KasparovThérèse ObrechtOn October 7, 2006, Vladimir Putin's 54th birthday, the journalist Anna Politkovskaja was shot in the lift of her Moscow home. Anna's death was a personal tragedy: she had just learnt that she was to become a grandmother. But the murder is a political act, for Politkovskaja was the President's fiercest critic. Why was she shot in cold blood, this elegant woman who was always on the side of the weak and those who had no rights? Was it because of the stance she took against the war in Chechnya - a war that was virtually ignored in the world at large and yet became a turning point in Anna's life?

- DirectorRicki SternAnne SundbergStarsDavid AntoonVincent CannistraroJames Cullen"The End of America" details the ten steps a country takes when it slides toward fascism. It's not a "lefty" taught-to-me, but rather a historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history that are being repeated in our country today. It gives any reader (or viewer of the lecture) a much-needed history lesson and constitutional refresher. Most importantly, it puts the recent gradual loss of civil liberties in the U.S. in a historical context. The average American might not be alarmed at AT&T selling our private information to the federal executive, but when this action is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear.
