Waleed (40) lives in Haifa with his wife and children and dreams of a writing career while suffering from chronic depression. He develops a close relationship with his neighbor (a small-time crook) with an ulterior plot in mind. While the scheme turns into an unexpected friendship between the two men, it leads them into a journey of dark encounters.

The drama, the story of three childhood friends and a young woman who are torn apart in their fight for freedom, is billed as the first fully-financed film to come out of the Palestinian cinema industry.

Trapped in "the world's largest open-air prison" and ruled by war, a new generation is drawn to the beaches. Sick of occupation and political gridlock, they find their own personal freedom in the waves of the Mediterranean - they are the surfers of Gaza.

98岁的陈玉平（Grace Lee Boggs）是一位生活在底特律的作家、倡权者和哲学家。这是一部关于她的思想、倡权行动和生活的纪录片《美国革命：陈玉平的演进》（American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs）。
陈玉平出生于1915年，父母是移民，经营中餐馆。陈玉平从小生活舒适，但感到社会需要变革。她毕业于伯纳德学院，后在布林莫尔学院攻读哲学，1940年获得博士学位。由于少数族裔在当时美国社会的境遇，毕业后，她在芝加哥大学的哲学图书馆谋得一份低薪工作。她在租住的地区无意中见到非裔市民抗议，从此关注和参与非裔美国人争取平等权利的民权运动。
后来，她到有大量汽车工人的底特律，和汽车制造工人和工人权益倡权人士James Boggs结婚。陈玉平和新婚丈夫度蜜月时，不得不在车里过夜，因为当时的种族隔离法令她的非裔新婚丈夫无法入住汽车旅馆。她成了非裔社区的一分子，参与当地的民权运动。
陈玉平的思想深受黑格尔的辩证法和马克思的社会发展理论的影响。她的思想不断地演变，如今，她倡导非暴力，在家门口的草坪上放着“不要战争”的牌子。她认为，不应该将希望寄托在领导人身上，变化应该从自身开始。年届高龄，她还组织“底特律暑假” 和“社区花园”项目，在一个衰落的城市里致力于社区的重建。

Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author’s own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, “one of the most important documents of the Hitler period” but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.

Paloma, the new girl at an esteemed prep school, is drawn into the daily aggressions of warring senior class factions. She joins the Spades and becomes friends with the Spades’ leader, an enigmatic and scheming cheerleader named Selah.

During the 1980s, a failed stand-up comedian is driven insane and turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City while becoming an infamous psychopathic crime figure.

New Orleans, 38 months after. The city's musicians, chefs, Mardi Gras Indians, and others continue to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But the promise of recovery – heightened by the historic election of a new presidente – is tempered by sobering economics, continued police corruption, and the ongoing specter of violence and crime. In these final five episodes of Treme, New Orleans' protagonists strive to build their own legacy in this most iconic of American cities.

《火线The Wire》制作人David meijubar.net Simon和Eric Overmyer再度联手为HBO电视台打造的新剧《Treme》。将于4月11日播出，《太平洋The Pacific》为其前导剧。
《Treme》把视角放在了灾难过后的新奥尔良，Treme本身是新奥尔良州一个地区的名字，是中央城区的一个小分区。本剧着重描写，在2005年卡特里娜飓风席卷新奥尔良的三个月后，当地的音乐家，厨师以及普普通通的新奥尔良老百姓如何重建家园，如何重新开始人生，如何重新找回文化的归属感的故事。

Fourteen months have passed since Hurricane Katrina, but residents of the Crescent City are finding it harder than ever to rebuild their lives, much less hold on to their unique cultural identity. Some have become expatriates in distant cities. The insurance checks that never arrived for homeowners were followed by the bureaucratic nightmare that was the Road Home program, and a land-grab is underway as developers and disaster capitalists press their advantage. Crime and drug use are up, and corruption and graft are endemic, with civic institutions unable to counter any of it. And yet the culture of New Orleans somehow endures.

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.
