Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood

S1.E2 ∙ Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood

Sat, Aug 03, 2019
Perhaps the most historically exploited crop on our list is Hawaiian Sandalwood, which has now become a highly coveted essential oil. Historically used as a currency, element of taxation, and envied export, foreigners ranging from Captain Cook to the Chinese Government has stolen this resource from the native Hawaiian people. It became almost non-existent as Hawaiians began destroying all the small trees they could find to prevent it harvest from becoming an instrument of physical enslavement of their future generations.

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
