		Arno Peters: Radical Map, Remarkable Man \| Ruth Abrams Australia/USA/Germany/England 2008 \| 30 MIN. This fascinating 30-minute documentary explores the history of how the Peters Equal Area World Map came into being. It was filmed on-location at Dr. Peters home in Bremen, Germany, as well as in the UK and the USA. The film includes scenes from the WEST WING TV show that featured the map and cartographic critiques that show the tension and conflict that the Peters map generated amongst the cartographic establishment. The film contains the only English-language interviews ever conducted with Arno Peters. Dr. Peters died in 2002, just fifteen months after these interviews were filmed. The Peters World Map was a radical map, and Arno Peters was truly a remarkable man. His impact will be felt for generations to come. » Trailer


		Children in Exile \| Chris Swider Russa, Poland, Canada, USA 2007 \| 60 MIN. In Children in Exile survivors of Soviet deportation to Siberia describe their experiences as the youngest victims of the Soviet system. These crimes against humanity have never been legally confronted, and as one of the interviewed victims states, “a crime should be called a crime.” » Trailer


		Train of Freedom \| Karina Correa Kosovo, USA 2008 \| 55 MIN. Train of Freedom is a documentary shot entirely on the railway system of Kosovo. Since 1874, the train has traveled amazing journeys. At its peak, it transported passengers in luxury cabins in trips that stretched from Greece to Germany. During the war, dark times made their mark when nearly one million Albanians were driven away by Serbian forces who ran a campaign of ethnic cleansing, many of which were forced into packed train cars and taken to the border with Macedonia. Today, the train aims to reconcile and integrate the different ethnic groups that were affected by the war. It is one of the very few places in Kosovo where Albanians, Serbs, Gypsie Romas and Ashkalis share a common place. Meet the people, hear their stories and learn first hand the hopes and challenges of this new nation. » Trailer
