- "Killing Silence: Taking on the Mafia in Sicily" (2004, 50 min.) looks at the historic rise of the Mafia from the waning days of World War II to the Mafia wars of the 1970s and '80s. The film continues with a depiction of the birth of the anti-Mafia movement when the citizens of Palermo, along with some fearless and charismatic leaders, literally took to the streets in outrage following the horrific 1992 Mafia slayings of two leading prosecutors, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. In the film, Sicilians discuss the goal of the anti-Mafia movement: to break the code of silence (omerta) and reclaim their neighborhoods and their culture from Mafia rule. Interviews with the former mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, and Sicilian-born Cardinal Salvatore Papalardo, retired bishop of Palermo, reveal the power the Mafia exerted in Sicily. Authors, psychologists and the son of a business owner murdered by the Mafia speak with hope about a new generation willing to discuss and challenge the old ways of life in Mafia-controlled Sicily. - Olga Teresa Sarbinowska

- Kenya: Passing the Baton by John Michalczyk (2011, 50 min.). Prior to the national election of December 2007, Kenya appeared to be a democratically stable country, with a robust economy built upon a highly admired tourism industry. However, after the re-election of President Mwai Kibaki, his rival Raila Odinga immediately challenged the results and an outburst of violence quickly spread across the country causing 1400 deaths and displacing 300,000 people. Kenya: Passing the Baton sheds light on the struggle of a people and a government to create a united, civil society currently split by disturbing tribal tensions, corruption, land distribution, and a myriad of social issues exacerbated by the severe drought in 2009. With a new Constitution, Kenya wishes to become, once again, an icon of democracy in East Africa.
