This film, narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, discusses the need for single 
payer health care for all. The issue of healthcare in America goes far 
beyond a line in the budget. It reaches into the center of the American 
soul and answers the question, "How in the world do we want to treat 
each other?"  In Canada, health-care is regarded as a social service, 
and treated as a responsibility of the government, to be provided to 
every citizen. Not so in the United States.  The Health Care Movie 
considers how it came to be that the two systems ended up in such 
different places. It explores the health care system in Canada: how it 
came to be, how it works for ordinary Canadians, how it is paid for, and 
how it compares to its American counterpart.

At a time of heated and divisive debate over immigration, the new 
feature-length documentary, "Harvest of Empire," examines the direct 
connection between the long   history of U.S. intervention in Latin 
America and the immigration crisis we face today.  Based on the 
groundbreaking book by award-winning journalist and Democracy Now! 
co-host Juan González, "Harvest of Empire" takes an unflinching look at 
the role that U.S. economic and military interests played in triggering 
an unprecedented wave of migration that is transforming our nation's 
cultural and economic landscape.
