Kenia, el fracaso neoliberal El tema central de esta película es el fracaso del sistema social y político en Kenia, a debido al ambiente neoliberal impuesto por los EEUU u Europa. La capital del país, Nairobi, tiene los barrios marginales mas duros del mundo: Mathare y Kibera, donde los jóvenes de 28 años ya no tienen amigos porque todos son muertos. Tengo acceso a los ‘gangs’ aquí y puedo libremente filmar los barios mencionados arriba y hacer las entrevista con los gansters, victimas, también los políticos... Buscando los raíces de la violencia extrema en la pobreza y los factores externos (el imperialismo).

Rwanda Gambit
RWANDA GAMBIT, written and directed by Andre Vltchek, with the participation of many leading experts on the Great Lakes region of Africa, is a groundbreaking documentary, which challenges the mainstream Western narrative on the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, and exposes the carnage in the DR Congo, in which almost 10 million people died.
Did President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, stop the 1994 genocide in his country, or did he trigger it? Did his RPF forces invade the Democratic Republic of Congo, prompting and fueling the worst genocide in the post WWII history?
Is the Democratic Republic of Congo simply suffering from a brutal civil war, or are Western companies and governments using Rwanda and Uganda to loot its natural resources on their behalf, there, killing millions of innocent people in the process?
Did the world go blind? Or is its vision selective? And if yes, then what is the reason?
RWANDA GAMBIT answers these and many other questions.
Filmed over more than three years, in the territories of Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, DR Congo, Kenya, South Africa, as well as the United States, Europe and Japan. It contains exclusive footage and dozens of key interviews with the victims and perpetrators, as well as members of international tribunals, diplomats, UN employees, Kagame's close circle of friends, investigative journalists and other key figures in this complex and ongoing tragedy.

Terlena - Breaking of a Nation
Terlena = to forget, to be off guard
"Terlena - Breaking of a Nation" is a documentary about Indonesia and its people who are unaware of their recent history. The society still believes the propaganda created by one general and his army. This independently produced documentary gives voices to those silenced during the dictatorship of Soeharto (1965 - 1998).
September 30, 1965, seven high ranking Indonesian officers were killed over night. The Communist Party of Indonesia - PKI - was immediately blamed for the event and the army led by General Soeharto started a manhunt. Countless arrests and mass killings followed. Members of the Communist Party, nationalists, religous groups, ethnic Chinese and anybody who supported President Soekarno were targeted. All adversaries to Soeharto's "New Order" were to be destroyed.
These events were linked to the global struggle of the cold war, but what started as a political plot to gain power in Indonesia, quickly turned into a human tragedy. Hundreds of thousands were killed and those who didn't lose their lives were imprisoned and stigmatized as traitors for life.
The documentary "Terlena - Breaking of a Nation" takes an in-depth look at the effects of Soeharto's dictatorship both on a cultural and personal level. How has the culture been altered? What are the consequences for Indonesian society in the long term? People from the country's cultural and scientific community share their ordeals and views.
Voices are reaching out from a prolonged silence, and these voices are Indonesian. It is time to rewrite the history of Indonesia!
