                        Plainclothes Agents
                        In June 2009, thousands of Iranians took to the streets to protest the biggest voter fraud in Iran's history as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was announced the winner of the presidential election.  The government responded with batons, bullets and blood, unleashing plainclothes agents who brutally suppressed the protesters.  Using digital footage shot on smart phones and cameras, then smuggled out of the country on flash drives, this shocking documentary provides an unflinching look at these shadowy oppressors.

                        The Minutemen: Don't F*ck With Our Freedom
                        Vigilantes? Outlaws? Or just red-blooded patriots? Armed and tireless, a band of self-appointed watchdogs on the U.S./Mexico border are taking the issue of illegal immigration into their own hands. Calling themselves the Minutemen, this odd crew of soccer moms, ranchers, and eccentric old-timers engages in a constant struggle to secure a sprawling border while trying to maintain their own sanity.

                        White Water, Black Gold
                        Canada is the number one foreign supplier of oil to the United States, a fact little known in America. Most of the oil imported comes from the Tar Sands of Northern Alberta, the second largest known oil reserve in the world outside of Saudi Arabia. This programme takes a sobering look at the untold costs associated with developing this major oil deposit. How much environmental damage are we willing to tolerate to feed our oil appetite?

                        When the Berlin Wall went up in 1960, it became the worldwide symbol of communist oppression.  While the Wall kept people in, it could not keep Western influences out:  through Radio Free Europe and Voice of America, rock music penetrated the Iron Curtain with messages of freedom and rebellion.  Rockin’ the Wall is both an engaging history lesson about the Berlin Wall and an exploration of the power of rock music as a force for social change and liberation.
