- DirectorWinterfilm CollectiveStarsRusty SachsJoe BangertScott ShimabukuroFor three days in 1971, former US soldiers who were in Vietnam testify in Detroit about their war experiences. Nearly 30 speak, describing atrocities personally committed or witnessed, telling of inaccurate body counts, and recounting the process of destroying a village. The atrocities are casual, seem routine, and are sanctioned or committed by officers. Images from the war illustrate the testimony; there's a side discussion among veterans about racism and a couple of interviews about the soldiers' self-realization. The testimony appears in the US Congressional Record on April 6 and 7, 1971. A "winter soldier" contrasts with Paine's "summer soldier and sunshine patriot."

- DirectorArik ReissStarsEthan NadelmannDavid NuttRick Doblin184 countries signed up to fight Richard Nixon's War On Drugs. New Zealand adopted these drug policies and for decades has lead the world in arresting its citizens for cannabis. Now even as the US turns its back on the failed prohibition of marijuana, New Zealand refuses to change its approach. Someone is arrested here for cannabis every thirty minutes - despite the fact that no one has ever died from using it, the war on cannabis has no end in sight. Through cannabis users and growers, police officers, economists, doctors, politicians and scientists, we examine the cause and effect nature of the underground cannabis business - and explain how other jurisdictions have pulled this black market out of the darkness.
