Democracy Now!

A United States daily progressive, nonprofit, independently syndicated program of news, analysis, and opinion.

America Who Are You?

250 years on from the country’s Declaration of Independence, the image of the United States has become tarnished. By drawing parallels between cowboys and populism, Thanksgiving and Charlie Kirk, this documentary demonstrates that Trump’s politics differ from those of his predecessors and are not in line with the values upon which the history of the American nation was founded.

Rust

RUST is the third documentary in Newark filmmakers Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno's 3Rs Trilogy on Urban America. Following the success of critically-acclaimed, award-winning national PBS broadcast REVOLUTION '67 (2007) on riots/rebellions of the 1960's and THE RULE (2014) on urban school reform, RUST uses Newark, New Jersey as a microcosm to take a deeper look into Rust Belt poverty, racism and mass incarceration while detailing industrialization and deindustrialization.
