'2012 A Journey to the Maya Heartland' examines some of the parallels that exist between the collapse of the Classic Maya civilization in the central lowlands of the Peten jungle in the eighth century AD and the environmental effects we are confronting as a result of Global Climate Change today in our own culture, both in North America - and in particular the American Southwest - as well as in Latin America. Beyond this, 2012 examines some of the wider effects of climate change, from changing demographics to political and economic disruptions, to the very personal issues of truth and justice and how they are playing themselves out in people's lives today.

An inside look at how police, first responders, and other government agencies react when faced with a critical incident such as an active shooter. The West Orange Police Department conducted one of the largest full-scale critical incident drills in New Jersey, involving a mock active shooter at Liberty Middle School.

This documentary hopes to shed light on the best ways for government agencies to prepare and deal more effectively and efficiently with these unfortunately all too common critical incidents that are sweeping our nation. Narrated by Captain Mark Kelly, whose wife, former Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords fell victim to an active shooter incident in 2011.

Protesters. Police. Pepper Spray. For 5 days in 2008, a group of protesters calling themselves Re-create 68 took to the streets of Denver to dissent against the American government at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

From arrests during the DNC to the weeks of planning leading up to the many marches and status-quo disruptions, this documentary embeds you in the life of the unconventional patriot.
