1. Voices from Mariel

Mar 25, 2011  •  TV Shows
On April 1 1980, five individuals seeking political asylum crashed a bus through the gates of the Peruvian embassy in Havana, Cuba. In the following days, 10,000 people stormed that embassy's grounds, signifying wide-spread disdain for Cuba's dictatorship. Fearing that continued civil unrest might cause further violence, Fidel Castro proclaimed that any Cuban wishing to immigrate to the United States could board a boat at the nearby port of Mariel. In what some considered a bold move, Castro forced prisoners and street indigents to board these same boats. While only a small percentage of the 125,000 Mariel refugees were actually criminals, Castro succeeded in tarnishing the image of those fleeing the country. However, for the vast majority of those who left Cuba, this was the beginning of a costly journey to freedom. The exile would begin not only with a parting of personal possessions, but a separation from family that for many would last a lifetime. But for the Marielitos the cost of their mass exodus was outweighed by something previously unimaginable: a chance to pursue their dreams. Dr. Jose Garcia left through Mariel as a 13 year-old boy. His journey takes us through personal accounts of lives affected by the Mariel exodus, of those who departed and also those who stayed behind. Culminating with his long anticipated trip back to his birthplace, we see the emotional reuniting of family and friends as we explore and listen to the unheard 'Voices From Mariel'.

2. Gu Nainai

Sep 3, 2010  •  TV Shows
The Chinese documentary movement continues to evolve, reaching new levels of awareness of issues complicating its mission to objectively capture the reality of its society. Among these issues is that of performance in its subjects; this is especially critical given that an increasing number of documentaries are personal portraits that delve into subjective experiences. Perhaps the most memorable instance of the past year is Qiu Jiongjiong's stark black-and-white series of interviews with transsexual cabaret singer Madame Bi Langda. Madame Bi's recollections of past experiences explicitly touch on how she performs her way through life, whether interacting with friends, lovers or her audience. More than a document of the increasingly complicated gender identity politics in China, it's also a poignant testimony of a life dedicated to articulating the aesthetics of living.

15. The Devil's Box

Apr 20, 2012  •  TV Shows
It all started with two catfish and a movie. Jason Hammond needed catfish for a movie, but nobody would sell him live fish. He finally came upon Kenneth Henneke Hatchery in Hallettsville, Texas. Henneke, a natural promoter, suggested making a film about his 'fiddle contest'. The rest is fish history. Hammond and producer Beth Jasper spent a over a year immersed in fiddle culture. Not musical themselves, they came to realize that fiddle wasn't just music, it was family. For hundreds of years, fiddle contests had been held all across the country, drawing contestants of all ages. And from the contests was born Texas-style fiddling. A tribute to fiddle music and the players who have passed it on, knee to knee, generation to generation.
