Fordham SDS directed by Bert Shultz In 1969, the members of the Fordham University Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) took over the administration building in protest to the Vietnam War and the militarism of the nation. Bert Schultz, an activist and student leader, documented the events with a 16 mm film camera. Fordham SDS is a remembrance of that pivotal moment in time, which shaped the lives of the many young who took part in that struggle. (2009, 30 minutes) Broken Pots, Broken Dreams directed by Maris Gillette The lives of pottery workers in Jingdezhen, a center of ceramic production for over 500 years, are examined in this documentary by anthropologist-filmmaker, Maris Gillette. Changes in China’s economic systems from a system, one with worker benefits and protections, to the current system where each worker must fend for him/herself, has required pottery workers of Jingdezhen to re-deine their lives. (2009, 27 minutes)
