At the End of Slavery (USA)
Directed by Ted Haddock (33:12)
In a world where 27 million children, women and men live as modern-day slaves, the fight for justice cannot wait. At the End of Slavery: The Battle for Justice in Our Time takes you inside the violent and ugly business of slavery, from the brothels of the Philippines to the brick kilns of India.
Left Alone (USA)
Directed by Seth Boggess (15:00)
Ian (Paul Noble) is a Chicago cab driver searching for someone who will listen. As he grieves the death of his son, Ian is compelled to reach out to the strangers he encounters on the job. Based on the Anton Chekhov short story "Misery", Left Alone explores our need for compassionate listening when we're in pain, and the obstacles we face in that pursuit.
Kavi (India)
Directed by Gregg Helvey (19:00)
2010 Oscar-Nominee and Winner of the 2009 Student Academy Awards, Kavi is about a boy in India, who wants to play cricket and go to school, but instead he is forced to work in a brick kiln as a modern-day slave. Unsatisfied with his fate, Kavi must either accept what he's always been told, or fight for a translator.
Splitscreen: A Love Story (England)
Directedby J.W. Griffiths (2:25)
The screen is split down the middle. On the left we witness the world through the eyes of a woman. On the right we see the world through the eyes of a man. Although they live thousands of miles apart, their lives seem to be inextricably linked.
The Dancer (India)
Directed by Seth Stark (11:15)
Shot on location in a remote village in India, The Dancer shows life through the eyes of an 11-year-old orphan boy, Satish Kumar. Satish is sent away to an orphanage, where he hopes to escape the despair of the streets and find the joy to dance. This true story is based entirely on an interview with Satish, who speaks only Telugu, and direction was given through a translator.
