“'The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin' explains what bitcoins are in plain English. It begins with Daniel Mross, a programmer in Pittsburgh who builds computers to 'mine' bitcoins, the virtual currency that was introduced in 2009 and, in theory, provides an alternative to the banking system. . . .[An] entertaining portrait of the unshakable optimism that governs what’s been called a financial Wild West."

Director: Guillaume Suon
Run Time: 66 min.

Call Number: HQ281 .S76 2015  

"Featuring brutally candid testimony, The Storm Makers is a chilling exposé of Cambodia’s human trafficking underworld and an eye-opening look at the complex cycle of poverty, despair and greed that fuels this brutal modern slave trade. More than half a million Cambodians work abroad and a staggering number of these have been sold as slaves. Most are young women, held prisoner and forced to work in horrific conditions, sometimes as prostitutes, in Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan."
