What You Don't Know About Your Government Could Kill You
What causes Gulf War Illness? Some believe these illnesses are caused by exposure to depleted uranium munitions used on the battlefield. Others believe chemical and biological exposures are the prime suspect. While yet an even larger group argue that experimental vaccines given to our troops, without their knowledge or consent, may have lead to the demise of many of these soldiers.
As ailing Gulf War Heroes from all 27 countries slowly die of "unknown causes" they wait for answers from their respective governments...but no satisfying or even credible answers have come forth from the military establishment. Records that span over a decade point to negligence and even culpability on the part of the U.S. Department of Defense and their "disposable army" mentality.

A documentary maker embeds himself with a group of Mexicans crossing the border into the U.S.
Dying to Get In provides an intimate perspective of border crossing and the people who cross. The U.S./Mexican border, dubbed the "gauntlet of death" is infiltrated first-hand by documentarian Brett Tolley in this gritty examination. In his effort to further understand the relationships between developed and developing countries, the viewer is pulled deep into the Arizona desert where so many have already perished. Along the U.S./Mexican border, since 1994, the number of deaths in the Southern Arizona desert has continued to increase until the Summer of 2005 when it reached a record high. Many of these deaths occurred from dehydration. Insight into America's undocumented population shows that trade policies and economic sanctions have effectively forced people off of their own land. This phenomena is one of the world's best vehicles for learning the effects of globalization.

Renaissance of Mongolian Buddhist Art
Throughout the world Mongolians are regarded as a martial people still living in the shadow of Genghis Khan. But more then 400 years ago, brave Mongol warriors one-by-one swapped their weapons and armour for the red robes of monks in order to fight the real enemy within, not the presumed enemy outside. Whilst the world gradually forgot its fear of Mongolia, these warriors poured the same energy into Buddhism that had enabled them to amass the greatest empire the world had ever known, and in so doing acquired an amazing depth of Buddhist culture and spiritual achievement. But this rich Buddhist heritage of Mongolia today is hardly known to the outside world.
One-third of the male population of Mongolia were ordained monks when the Communists took over the country in the 1930s. The monks were not just âwasting foodâ, as was suggested later, they were scholars, artists, craftsmen, doctors, scientists and educators. Central Mongoli
