	RACE - THE POWER OF AN ILLUSION What is race? The question seems so obvious it is rarely asked. This acclaimed three-part series demonstrates that race is not a biological reality, yet it is still a very real social one.
	HEALTH FOR SALE - Are the world's largest drug companies, paradoxically, major obstacles to making a healthier world? This documentary focuses on the ten largest pharmaceutical makers, who account for US$500 billion of world health spending a year and whose US$205 billion in pre-tax profits were more than the combined profits of the 490 other Fortune 500 companies.
	THE BELOVED COMMUNITY - Sarnia, a Great Lakes oil town that is the nerve center of Canada's petrochemical industry, once enjoyed the highest standard of living in the country, but now the bill has come due, in compromised environmental and community health.
	A KILLER BARGAIN - The availability and price of cheap consumer goods imported by Western companies belie the human and environmental costs of their production.
	MAQUILAPOLIS (City of Factories) - The inspiring story of women workers in Tijuana who, though laboring for poverty wages, still stand up to transnational corporations to win severance pay and the clean up of toxic waste sites.

	Tulia, Texas - This investigation into a shocking drug bust exposes how the "war on drugs" has become a war on due process, waged against African Americans.
	Brick by Brick: A Civil Rights Story - Tracks the landmark case, U.S. vs Yonkers, which challenged housing and educational discrimination in the North and pushed for desegregation.
	Traces of the Trade - One family's painful confrontation with their ancestors' involvement in the slave trade illustrates how slavery's legacy has shaped life even in the North.
	The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow - Emancipation ended slavery only to replace it with an American form of apartheid, euphemistically known as Jim Crow, used to keep African Americans as second class citizens. This four-part series constitutes a major cinematic achievement covering the years between Reconstruction and Civil Rights.
	The Road to Brown - The history of segregation sanctioned by the 1898 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, and the visionary legal campaign against it that led to the triumph of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Now available on DVD..
