THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND is a funny and moving look at the impact of major corporations on American life, told largely from the point of view of ordinary citizens. The film examines both evident and lesser known areas of corporate influence, hears how people across the country feel their own lives have been affected, and looks at some of the brave, compelling and sometimes hilarious ways in which individuals and communities are reacting.

The Couple in the Cage
7.0

A witty satire about cultural stereotyping. In a series of 1992 performances, Coco Fusco and performance co-creator Guillermo Gómez-Peña decked themselves out in primitive costumes and appeared before the public as "undiscovered AmerIndians" locked in a golden cage - an exercise in faux anthropology based on racist images of natives. Presented eight times in four different countries, these simple performances evoked various responses, the most startling being the huge numbers of people who didn't find the idea of "natives" locked in a cage objectionable. This provocative video, directed and produced by Coco Fusco and Paula Heredia, suggests that the "primitive" is nothing more than a construction of the West, and uses comic fiction to address historical truths and tragedies.

An American choreographer stages a large-scale theater production in the tiny town in Belarus after discovering the fate of her family who lived there. She brings together an unlikely mix of actors, dancers, musicians and local townspeople to recreate scenes of life in the vibrant Jewish town of Ivye before World War II. This film looks with warmth and humor at the ability of people to transcend differences in language, religion and culture to retell a story that had been kept secret for over 50 years.
