"Viewing Disney without rose-colored glasses," as the Boston Globe put it, Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a close and critical look at the world of Disney's animated films, and the stories they tell about race, gender, and class. The video reaches disturbing conclusions about the values being propagated under the veneer of childhood innocence and fun. Featuring interviews with media experts, cultural critics, child psychologists, kindergarten teachers, multicultural educators, college students, and children, this defiant video examines Disney's corporate power and explores its pervasive influence on global culture.

Spaceships soar into space. Dots dance on a page. Rocks and twigs transform into expressive faces. Kids can easily create this kind of magic themselves, and all they require are a few simple tools.

They arrive under age and alone, often traumatized and seeking asylum in a country completely alien to their own. In some provinces, specifically Ontario, these unaccompanied refugee minors have surprisingly no government system in place for their care after arriving. This documentary is a cinematic portrait of a year in the life of two such teenagers, Joyce and Sallieu. They seem like your typical teenagers, except that reserved Sallieu, 16, witnessed the murder of his mother as a young boy in war-torn Sierra Leone and vibrant Joyce, 17, left the Democratic Republic of Congo to avoid being forced into prostitution by her family. Both are courageously making new lives for themselves in Toronto. They speak equally frankly about losing loved ones and what they want to buy at the mall. As they bear the pressures of being a 'normal' teenager while undergoing the refugee application process - it is the guidance and support from a handful of people - that make a real difference in the day to day lives of these children. Children, director Monika Delmos eloquently illustrates, who ultimately belong to all of us.

A film about children and teenagers living in an East German CHILDREN'S HOME in Mentin, Mecklenburg in the late 1970s. They talk openly about their past experiences, how they affected their lives and why they ended up in the home, describing unstable home situations, domestic violence and their parents' alcohol abuse. But these young people also share their hopes for the future. This documentary was produced as an opening film for Roland Gräf's feature film P.S. (1978), about an 18-year-old who spent his childhood in a CHILDREN'S HOME. The documentary was banned by officials, however, who accused it of painting a picture of a country with many social and family problems. It was never shown before the Wall came down.
