HARVEST OF EMPIRE - Theatrical Release!
Based on the groundbreaking book by award-winning journalist Juan González,
HARVEST OF EMPIRE takes an unflinching look at the role that U.S. economic and
military interests played in triggering an unprecedented wave of migration that
is transforming our nation's cultural and economic landscape. From the wars for
territorial expansion that gave the U.S. control of Puerto Rico, Cuba and more
than half of Mexico, to the covert operations that imposed oppressive military
regimes in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador, Harvest
of Empire unveils a moving human story that is largely unknown to the great
majority of citizens in the U.S. "They never teach us in school that the huge
Latino presence here is a direct result of our own government's actions in
Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America over many decades -- actions that
forced millions from that region to leave their homeland and journey north,"
says Juan González at the beginning of the film.

AUDRE LORDE - THE BERLIN YEARS 1984 TO 1992 - in Atlanta, Toronto, Waterloo,
Bloomington, New York, Charleston and Boston
Third World Newsreel's new acquisition: 1984 to
1992 is now on tour as part of the Audre Lorde Legacy Film & Culture Festival, presented by German filmmaker Dagmar Schultz and Afro-German writer Ika Ika Hügel-Marshall. The festival honors African American lesbian poet Audre Lorde and her legacy to social justice movements in the United States and Germany. The festival will make stops in nine educational institutions including the University of Hawai'i, University of California at Berkeley, Sonoma State University, Goethe Institute in San Francisco, University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University, Harvard, University of Massachusetts and Hunger College.
The documentary "Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984-1992" explores a little-known chapter of the acclaimed Black lesbian
feminist poet and activist Audre Lorde's prolific life, a period in which she
helped ignite the Afro-German Movement and made lasting contributions to the
German political and cultural scene before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall
and the German reunification. Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984-1992 contains
previously unreleased audiovisual material from director Schultz's personal
archive, showing Lorde on and off stage. With testimony from Lorde's colleagues,
students and friends, this film documents Lorde's lasting legacy in Germany.
The film premiered at
the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2012. 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of Audre Lorde's passing.
Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984-1992 won the Audience Award for
the Best Documentary at the Barcelona G&L Film Festival.
