Don't Give Up Your Voice [2018] – 40 min. This film looks at the widespread and creative resistance to a repressive government in Argentina - in organized labor, at worker coops, street protests, theater and music - and offers timely lessons for us in the North.

Good Food [2008] – 57 min. Pacific Northwest family farmers, plus the businesses and markets that feature their products, show that it is possible to increase the supply of healthy, local, sustainably grown food. Seattle International Film Festival, broadcast PBS.
