In an effort to make North America's largest collection of African films more widely available, we are now offering these titles at the greatly reduced price of $24.95 per DVD!

The collection has since grown to more than 70 titles from 25 countries which includes classics by internationally renowned masters Ousmane Sembene (Faat Kine) and Djibril Diop Mambety (La petite vendeuse de Soleil).

What is this thing we call 'race'? Where did the idea come from? What are the patterns of human variation? And if race isn't biological, what is it? How do our social institutions 'make' race?

This acclaimed set of new documentaries illuminates the dark side of globalization, where labor is exploited, the environment is destroyed, and even human health is often sacrificed in pursuit of higher profits. In Children of the Amazon, Brazilian Filmmaker Denise Zmekhol travels a modern highway deep into the Amazon in search of the Indigenous Surui and Negarote children she photographed fifteen years ago. Part road movie, part time travel, her journey tells the story of what happened to life in the largest forest on Earth when a road was built straight through its heart.
