A committee of volunteers has spent over six months first searching several key documentary film sites for recent excellent issue-oriented documentary films, then previewing a shorter list of the best of those films in order to select the nine films which will be screened in this year's festival. Among the five feature films to be presented this year are the following: Green Gold, in which filmmaker, John Liu takes on a tour of large scale ecosystem restoration projects around the world; Academy Award Nominee, 5 Broken Cameras, a first-hand account of life and non-violent resistance following a West Bank family’s evolution over five years of upheaval; Genetic Roulette – The Gamble of Our Lives, a film that may change your diet, help you protect your family, and accelerate the tipping point against genetically modified organisms (GMO’s); Chasing Ice, one of the most important environmental documentaries you will ever see depicting the melting or our Earth due to climate change; and The Fourth World, a journey to Guatemala, Kenya, and the Philippines to meet people caught up in the largest migration in the history of the world.
