Girlhood (DVD)
This documentary follows two teenage girls at a Maryland juvenile detention center over a three-year period. Directed by Liz Garbus, the film consists of intimate interviews with the girls and a look at their daily lives inside. It also shows the counseling sessions that the girls undergo, as they discuss their crimes and try to understand themselves. While the film is stunning in its simplicity, the issues it introduces are mind-boggling in their complexity, leading viewers to ask themselves what drives children to violence.Megan and Shanae, whose personalities and attitudes about the crimes they committed could not be more different, are the focus of the film. Megan ran away from a string of foster homes before lashing out at another child with a box cutter and being placed in detention. She says she wants to be with her mother, a neglectful drug addict. Using laughter as a release for her nervousness and frustration, Megan appears on the surface to be happy. But as the film tracks her progress, both inside the center and out, her dark side comes through. Shanae stabbed a girl to death. At first she has no conscience about the crime and does not even understand what she is supposed to feel. Perhaps having been gang raped and never telling anybody contributes to her confusion. But as she works with counselors and receives love from her parents, she slowly changes, finding hope and happiness.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Interview - 1.

Occupation: Dreamland (DVD)
In 2004, filmmakers Ian Olds and Garrett Scott set out to create a truthful document of the American soldier s experience in Iraq by spending six weeks with the 82nd Airborne at their post in Falluja, where their mission is to improve relations with the locals while maintaining order in the city. Unbeknownst to any of them, the city would become the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the war mere weeks after filming was completed. Virtually living with the small platoon and accompanying them on patrols that see gunfire and explosions, Olds and Scott elicit some surprising opinions from their soldiers. Despite an urging from Squad Leader Sergeant Chris Corcione, a former guitar player in a North Carolina death metal band, to refrain from making any anti-Bush administration comments on camera, several soldiers express doubt in their reasons for being there and lack of faith in the President s motives for sending them. Telling comments from residents of the city also serve as eerie foreshadowing of the violence that would eventually follow. Without taking any clear position, OCCUPATION: DREAMLAND also shows how the military provides a way out for young people with no other options though the end result may often be a different kind of purgatory.
