Tamara Erde

In 1933, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, two audacious and visionary directors, dared to create a motion picture that eclipsed everything seen until then: when King Kong was released, it was celebrated as an artistic and technical revolution and became the first myth created by the young cinematic art.

In 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring opened America's eyes to the dangers of pesticides and man's place in nature. This episode of the "Before/After" series dives into the genesis of a poetic and powerful text, which inspired modern environmentalist thought.

Israeli-born director Tamara Erde visits six independently-run Israeli and Palestinian schools to investigate how history is taught in this contested region.

A multi-generational journey exploring the archives of the director's grandfather Ephraim Erde, an official Zionist photographer from the 30s, confronted with the director's current vision in an attempt to create an utopia of her own.

After the Evil is a cinematic documentary exploring the work of Gitta Sereny, an Austrian-British journalist and researcher who tirelessly probed the dark side of human nature. She spent her adult life trying to explain evil. She did it through an intense process of research, resulting in biographies of Franz Stangl, commander of the Treblinka death camp, of Hitler’s architect and close companion Albert Speer, and of Mary Bell, a child murderer. Sereny, in the film, raises this question: are we all able, one day, to switch to the other side?
