village nestled in the mountains amidst the humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers, survivors of the war's massacres, recount their journey home at war's end. When they first returned their village no longer existed. Nevertheless they decided to stay. And over the years as they worked the land, built new homes and started new families, the people of Cinquera learned to live with sorrow. THE TINIEST PLACE juxtaposes scenes of contemporary village life, of Cinquera's remarkable renaissance, with stories of the war - how conflict arose, civil war erupted, and hopes for liberation turned to struggles for survival. "Don't cry when they kill me" a mother recalls her 14-year old daughter telling her before running away to fight with the rebel army. And though the village's history is always visible - in an elaborate memorial for the dead, or the persistent tremor of a survivor's hand, towards the end of THE TINIEST PLACE we too are returned to the present. A cow gives birth, a high school marching band plays, and children walk to school in the rain. We see that, if Cinquera is reemerging, it is through the strength and deep love of its inhabitants. Reviews � "A profound expression of the twin powers of life and death...The subject of the Central American wars of recent decades has rarely received such a level of artistic treatment onscreen" - Robert Koehler, Variety � "Unforgettable...One of the finest docs I've seen over the past year" - Howard Feinstein, Filmmaker Magazine � "Superb. 10/10" - Cynthia Fuchs, PopMatters Awards � Best Feature Film, Visions du Reel � Best Mexican Film, Monterrey International Film Festival � Documentary Special Mention, Morelia International Film Festival � Best Direction & Best First Feature, Cinema Tropical Awards � Spotlight Award, Cinema Eye Honors Item no. : HH03400844 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 104 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00 LAW FINDING FINDING THE THE FREEMEN FREEMEN FREEMEN There is growing police concern about a sub-set of Canadian society that prefers to live outside the law. A declining economy can be fertile ground for fringe movements. Perhaps as many as 30,000 people worldwide are part of the expanding group called Freeman-on-the-Land. Primarily, they believe that governments do not have jurisdiction over them. They sometimes refuse to pay taxes, carry driver's licenses, repay debts or otherwise accept restrictions on their legal "person." Here at home, the movement has caught the attention of Canadian police because of the violent activity of associated groups in other countries, like the Sovereign Citizens in the U.S. whose notorious membership included Timothy McVeigh. Some call the Freemen a harmless fringe movement. However, as The National's Adrienne Arsenault reports, the group may be larger and more worrying than it appears.

This time saw many intellectual developments and the concepts of morality and peace were emerging, and the program demonstrates the major influence Confucius and his Analects, a collection of epigrams, has had on Chinese culture. He focused on four major issues: helping people to be good, honorable, and responsible members of society; learning and education; filial duty; and ritual and music.

But beside these scenes of glorious misrule gathers a nationwide rebellion led by the Duke of Northumberland and his charismatic son, Hotspur. The first installment of Shakespeare's gripping account of the rise of Hal from idle barfly to monarch-in-waiting combines compelling power politics with the hilarious antics of Falstaff, Shakespeare's greatest comic creation. Roger Allam ('a Falstaff to treasure' -The Times) won the 2011 Best Actor Olivier Award for his performance in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. Jamie Parker stars as Prince Hal ('superb' -The Guardian, 'marvelous' -Time Out); he appeared in As You Like It at the Globe in 2009, and was also in The History Boys at the National Theatre, on Broadway and on film.

Even Sir John Falstaff is forced out of the taverns to raise a militia, but will his attachment to Hal be rewarded with promotion and the life of ease he feels sure he deserves? Henry IV Part 2 includes some of the greatest moments in Shakespeare: the deathbed scene of the old King, when Hal contemplates the crown; and Hal's devastating rejection of Falstaff himself. Roger Allam ('a Falstaff to treasure' -The Times) won the 2011 Best Actor Olivier Award for his performance in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. 'Jamie Parker (Prince Hal) is terrific to watch' (London Evening Standard); he appeared in As You Like It at the Globe in 2009, and was also in The History Boys at the National Theatre, on Broadway and on film.
