In 2002, 22 Palestinian and Israeli teenage girls spent 10-days in the U.S. at a women's leadership program called Building Bridges for Peace. "My So-Called Enemy" is about 6 of the girls and how their transformative experience of knowing their "enemies" as human beings meets with the realities of their lives at home in the Middle East over the next 7 years. "My So-Called Enemy" celebrates diversity and the vital role of women in peacemaking.

Set against the mountains and beaches in a remote part of New Zealand, "This Way of Life" is an intimate portrait of a Maori family and their relationship with each other, nature and horses.
Peter and Colleen Karena have six children, fifty horses and the land is their lifeblood. Masterful in the saddle and Hollywood handsome, Peter lives by an internal code of values and honor largely lost in modern times. Though European, Peter was adopted into a Maori family and is Maori in all but skin. He is a horse-whisperer, philosopher, hunter, and builder, a husband and father. Despite seemingly overwhelming challenges, Peter refuses to compromise. Especially troubling to Peter is his broken relationship with his adopted father – a malevolent man who refuses to leave him alone
Shot over four years, "This Way of Life" is a blueprint for how to live with little. It is a modern parable of one family's unconventional and positive response to the questions that confront many families in these anxious times.

Immediately following the film, filmmakers Grant & Jen (who will be joining us in person!) will talk about "The Clean Bin Project", waste reduction, and their filmmaking process.
Is it possible to live completely waste free? Partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to swear off consumerism and produce the least amount of garbage in an entire year. Their refreshingly comedic battle is set against a sobering examination of our "throw-away" society that includes shocking images from Seattle artist Chris Jordan. This multi-award-winning film tackles the serious issue of waste with optimism, humor, and inspiration for individual action.
