AGAINST AGAINST THE THE THE ODDS<br />
ODDS<br />
A report on young black men fighting to<br />
survive and succeed on America's<br />
meanest inner-city streets, where they<br />
battle almost overwhelming odds: high<br />
rates of murder and drug abuse, a much<br />
greater likelihood of ending up in prison<br />
than in college, rampant unemployment<br />
and bleak job prospects, and poor health.<br />
Makes the point, however, that many are<br />
beating those odds.<br />

CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY RISI RISING RISI RISING<br />
NG<br />
Conspiracy theories are everywhere but<br />
how and why do we believe them?<br />
Belief in conspiracy pervades our modern<br />
culture and proliferates in cyberspace with<br />
thousands of sites dedicated to theories<br />
behind the deaths of John F. Kennedy and<br />
Princess Diana, UFOs, Area 51 and 9/11.<br />
CONSPIRACY RISING uses the latest<br />
science and psychology to investigate the<br />
causes of conspiracy theories, why we are<br />
wired to believe them, and how as a<br />
society it is imperative that we separate<br />
the fantasies from the real threats. It<br />
examines the ways that fearful people find<br />
<strong>com</strong>fort in the order and explanations that<br />
conspiracy theories provide.<br />
Combining remarkable, iconic archival<br />
footage, visits to the sites behind the most<br />
notorious conspiracy theories, and<br />
interviews with both leading conspiracy<br />
theorists and scientific experts,<br />
CONSPIRACY RISING will introduce the<br />
audience to fascinating material,<br />
outlandish claims and supposed "truths"<br />
that have been hidden for decades. All the<br />
while it questions why we choose to<br />
believe… or not.<br />
