In 1957, two hundred teachers, students, and cadres were labeled as "Rightists" for voicing criticism of the Communist Party and sent to the East Wind State Farm in southwest China. As part of China's disastrous Great Leap Forward, these inmates were forced to take part in ill-conceived deforestation, agricultural and industrial projects that led to wide-scale famine. Later they endured the Cultural Revolution when their camp was visited by large groups of "sent-down" youth from the cities. After 21 years of "remolding," the "Rightists" were finally "rehabilitated" in 1978 and allowed to leave in 1978. THE EAST WIND STATE FARM re-examines the tragic events of Chinese modern history during the height of Maoist rule. Director Hu Jie collects dozens of extensive interviews with both inmates and staff who served through three decades of the camp's existence.

On January 23, 2001, in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) staged and directed a self-immolation of Falun Gong practitioners to seek success. Through logical reasoning and analysis, the film shows clearly that a government-directed "drama" and self-immolation occurred to resolve a situation in which Jiang Zemin, then leader of the Chinese Communist Party, was "in a difficult position" to suppress Falun Gong. In addition, the film tells the story of how Falun Gong practitioners came out one by one to tell the truth, but were brutally persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party and tortured to death, but they did not give in and insisted on telling people the truth in a peaceful and rational manner. This spirit of perseverance and resilience in spite of life and death shook the audience to their core.

Across his three decades at Ohio State, Woody Hayes dominated the football landscape and spread the virtues and tradition of the Buckeyes from coast to coast. This new film is a tribute to the man who embodied the spirit of the Scarlet and Gray through hard work, intellect, leadership, inspiration, and character. 205 wins at Ohio State, three national championships, and 13 Big Ten titles only begin to measure Hayes' accomplishments, his lasting legacy, and the remarkable impact of his core beliefs on Ohio State, are celebrated and honored here. Hayes' creation of a national football powerhouse helped fill Buckeye Grove with All-Americans, but on and off the field Coach Hayes built champions. From his start at OU, to the "Ten Year War" between the Buckeyes and Wolverines for top-rank bragging rights, through to his retirement, the stories of Coach Hayes are told by other Buckeye greats.

There are approximately 60 million evangelicals in the United States. They represent by far the largest religious group and should not be underestimated politically as voters. They take the Bible literally and believe that God created the world in six days, that the world only existed for 6,000 years, and they dismiss scientific knowledge as lies. They fear Muslims and atheists, homosexuality and permissive life. Alcohol, abortion and sex before marriage are taboo. In large parts of the United States, secularism, the separation of church and state, are being removed more and more. The filmmakers of the documentary give a frightening insight into a strange world and show a supposedly modern country, in which large parts of the population have a level of intellectual development as in the Middle Ages and are as reactionary in their worldview as in Islamist theocracies.

“It may be worse than Portugal,” observes cinematographer Henri Alekan about a Los Angeles film lab while on the set of Wim Wenders’ The State of Things (1984). A legendary production and a transitional work for the New German Cinema director as his work became increasingly international, Wenders set out to make a film about filmmaking as funding stalled on the American production of Hammett. The State of Things deals with American and European sensibilities about cinema, and he enlisted Lachman to film and document the film being made in Los Angeles. Made for German television, completed in 1985 and unseen outside of Germany, Lachman’s portrait of Wenders at work features striking filmmaking and location photography of Los Angeles in the 1980s, and serves as a candid glimpse into European encounters with American culture at the time.
