Gimi people of Papua New Guinea: Linked by an “umbilical cord” at a ritual, a young man and his mother dramatize maternal influence, rarely acknowledged publicly. The author traces much of the antagonism between the sexes to women’s pervasive role in raising male children and to fathers’ attempt-through initiation rites-to transform boys into men.

Immanuel Wallerstein on the end of Capitalism

This feature film is a portrait of John Grierson, the first Canadian Government Film Commissioner and founder the National Film Board in 1939. Interweaving archival footage, interviews with people who knew him and footage of Grierson himself, this film is a sensitive and informative portrait of a dynamic man of vision.

Grierson believed strongly that the filmmaker had a social responsibility, and that film could help a society realize democratic ideals. His absolute faith in the value of capturing the drama of everyday life was to influence generations of filmmakers all over the world. In fact, he coined the term “documentary film.”
