Degrees of
Change

communities. This film explores the role that
universities play in encouraging activism, and questions
the possible causes of student apathy at a time with such
possibility for change.
Follow one group of students making dramatic demands for
environmental policy change on their North Carolina
campus. As the pressure mounts, they face doubtful
administrators and indifferent students, and the
group’s passionate leader struggles to convince her
peers of the power they have in an age when student
activism is often invisible. |

What do punk
rockers and senior citizens have in common? As Washington
D.C. rapidly gentrifies, a low income African American
community is threatened. This documentary takes a look at
the struggles of living in a city in the midst of change,
and the unique relationships that can develop. Mark
Anderson, a writer , activist and punk rocker, created
'We are Family' to provide an outreach network to
a group of senior citizen. Through an existing group he
worked with- punk rockers, he used similar diy and punk
rock ethics, to bring the two together. Through grocery
deliveries, advocacy about the neighborhood, and
visiting, we are family provides a unique model for
changing the way we look at old age. Very punk
rock. | Click to Visit 'Green Hair Grey Hair'

On Our Own:
Prepared for life through the help of
others
After a decade
away, Marion Aitcheson returns to the children’s
home in Eisenach, Germany where she spent her
adolescent years. This documentary explores her
bittersweet homecoming, reunites her with old friends
and teachers, and brings her face to face with memories
of the disintegration of her own family. Marion’s
account of her experience emphasizes the strength of
the government-run children’s homes in Germany,
due in no small part to the commitment of the
caretakers and teachers who provide structure, love and
encouragement to the children under their care.
