"Furey weaves news footage from the bombing timeline and subsequent legal and political developments together with interviews with relatives of the victims, as well as family photos and home video, focusing primarily on the parents of college students who died in their early 20s. Some continue to express outrage over the shoddy treatment they say they received from Pan Am and US authorities. 'The State Department and the government tried to sweep this whole thing under the rug from day one,' says Pete Lowenstein, whose son Alexander died in the bombing."

"At the headwaters of the Columbia River, Jumbo Creek cascades out of deep snowpack, past crumbling glacial ice, wildflowers, and grizzly tracks. The Jumbo Valley has long been revered for its beauty; and to the Ktunaxa Nation, it is known as Qat'muk, home of the grizzly bear spirit. Part of an important international wildlife corridor, the Jumbo Valley is one of only two areas in North America where grizzly bears can freely roam between Canada and the U.S. But, for nearly 25 years, local people--First Nations, conservationists, backcountry skiers--have fought a large-scale ski resort in Jumbo. Developers face environmental assessments, political roadblocks, and local outcry. Jumbo Wild highlights the tension between the protection of wilderness and ever increasing development interests in wild places, while bringing to life the passionate fight to protect the Jumbo Valley."

"What can people do to change a world full of violence and hate? Is
nonviolent revolution possible? 'Love and Solidarity' addresses these
questions through the life and thought of Rev. James Lawson, an African
American Methodist minister who worked with Martin Luther King, Jr., to
initiate civil rights struggles in the South in the 1960s, and in recent
years taught nonviolence organizing to poor Black and Latino workers in
coalitions that have remade the labor movement in Los Angeles. Through
interviews with Rev. Lawson and historic film footage, acclaimed labor
and civil rights historian Michael Honey and award-winning filmmaker
Errol Webber place a needed discourse on nonviolent social change at the
forefront of today's struggles against violence and for human rights,
peace, and economic justice."

Through dramatic first-hand accounts, expert testimony, and shocking statistics, Incarcerating US asks fundamental questions about the prison system in America: What is the purpose of prison? Why did our prison population explode in the 1970s? What can make our justice system more just?"
