SOA: Guns & Greed (USA: 2000, 22 mins.)
Narrated by Martin Sheen

The School of the Americas (SOA), though recently renamed as “Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation," is still the United States' premier training school for Latin American military forces.

Between Bulls and Mosquitoes (USA: 2008, 30 mins.)
Produced here in Missoula, Montana by Emily Crawford and Solmaz Mohadjer

Mountainous, impoverished, and isolated, Tajikistan faces impediments to social progress that can turn natural phenomena into humanitarian disasters. In this region, advancements in Earth sciences hardly translate into practical geohazards awareness for a citizenry that remains largely oblivious to the scientific explanations of seismic events. A local geosciences student travels to the region to investigate how this can be changed.

Special Guests: Film makers Emily Crawford and Solmaz Mohadjer.

Rosie Revisited: (USA: 2008, 26 mins.)
A U.S. Led Solution to Global Warming

Rosie Revisited looks at global warming as being every bit as much of a threat as Nazism during World War II, and proposes concrete solutions that are not only good for the environment, but good for the economy as well.

Special Guests: Film Makers Holly Schroeder and Jane West, and Global Warming Solution.org's David Merrill.
