Peace and Social Justice Coomittee presents "Profiled""PROFILED knits the stories of mothers of black and Latin youth murdered by the NYPD into a powerful indictment of racial profiling and police brutality, and places them within a historical context of  the roots of racism in the U.S. Some of the victims—Eric Garner, Michael Brown—are  now familiar the world over. Others, like Shantel Davis and Kimani Gray, are remembered  mostly by family and friends in their  New York neighborhoods. Ranging from the  routine harassment of minority students in an affluent Brooklyn neighborhood to the killings and protests in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri, PROFILED bears witness to the racist violence that remains an everyday reality for Black and Latin people in this country and gives us a window into one of the burning issues of our time.”

What if your worst fear was our best hope to save the planet?  Since the 1970s, the environmentals' default position has been adamant opposition to nuclear energy.  But the challenges of climate change and the food and energy needs of the world's 7+ billion people have forced many environmentalists to reconsider their resistance.  This new documentary film follows prominent movement leaders, including Stuart Brand ("Whole Earth Catalog") and Mark Lynas (Greenpeace), as they examine the realities of nuclear energy as an effective tool in the fight for a cleaner environment and access to energy for the world's poor.
