From the creative forces behind award winning 'Women Warriors: A Vision of Valor", comes 'Bridges: Transitioning to Civilian Life" -- A powerful and thought provoking student documentary that reveals the real-life struggles faced by our veterans as they make the transition from combat back to civilian life. Returning from war should be a joyous occasion, however, for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), coming home is difficult. PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or seeing a terrifying event, such as the aftermath of war, including intense human suffering and the act of killing. 'Bridges' takes you into the lives of some of our returning veterans and gives you an inside look at some of the personal obstacles each has faced upon their return. The documentary also explores ways that veterans and their loved ones can identify these obstacles and focuses on solutions for all involved. 'Bridges' is a must-see documentary that provides vital information in recognizing the causes and symptoms of PTSD. This is important so that we may be able to provide the resources necessary to help those who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms. Together we can build that bridge, one resource at a time, and help our beloved veterans make a safe transition home.

An anti-war feature length documentary.

Comprised of select pieces of found wartime footage, Scape is an examination and meditation on the context and environment in which wars occur, by looking at the moments when the warfare itself cannot be found.

Return to Hiroshima: Family Bonds and the Atomic Bomb, focuses around the exchanges between generations, the bombing of Hiroshima and the nature of forgiveness. The story's main character, Takashi Tanemori, was 8/10ths of a mile from ground zero when the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima. 60years after the wars end he takes a pilgrimage back through the city of Hiroshima to share his childhood memories of sacrifice and hope with a younger generation.

Renegade filmmaker Georg Koszulinski takes on Florida's history from a decidedly different point of view. Blending archival and original footage, he brings to life a cast of historical characters spanning over 12,000 years, from Florida's ancient Indians to the migrant farm workers of the 21st century. Meet Osceola and the Seminoles, who fought alongside escaped slaves in the most costly Indian War in American History. Unmask Florida's Ku Klux Klan and don't forget about Walt Disney and Henry Flagler - perhaps the two characters most responsible for the Florida we know today.
