- The new PBS Independent Lens documentary about America's public library system arrives with a very clever, two-edged title: Free for All: The Public Library.

The "Free for All" part refers, of course, to the beauty and generosity of the library system, which lends books, for free, to virtually anyone. But "Free for All" also refers to the many fights surrounding that idealistic institution: fights against segregated libraries; the banning of books; tax cuts and local library closures; targeted reductions of federal funds; and, quite recently and famously, "Drag Queen Story Hour."

'Free For All' review: This library documentary is worth checking out

The top video shows a scene from the film The Pianist, which recreates the segregation of Jews in the Nazi ghetto of Warsaw circa 1943, when they were forbidden to walk in the streets outside the ghetto.

The video below is a moment in the BBC documentary The Settlers, showing the segregation of Palestinians in the West Bank ghetto in 2025, forbidden by Zionists to walk in streets frequented by Israelis.

“This was an intensely personal story, as I knew many of the people who opposed the hydroelectric project and the company’s ongoing attempt to divert yet more of the river into the reservoir behind the Kenney Dam. It would take many years for me to fully understand how the dam impacted my Nation.”

Windspeaker.comDecades of resistance highlighted in film about a diverted riverWhen Stellat’en First Nation filmmaker Lyana Patrick was invited to become involved in a film project in British Columbia she jumped at the opportunity. That’s because the film’s focus was on the decades-long struggle by her own First Nation against the disruption of an important river. Patrick is days away now from the world premiere of the feature documentary she directed titled Nechako: It Will Be a Big River Again. The film will be screened for the first time in Vancouver on May 3 at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival.

I highly recomment the documentary "Citizen Jane: Battle for the City" (2016).
imdb.com/title/tt3699354/

Anyone involved in any sort of #UrbanPlanning should watch it & learn from Jane Jacobs' activism. She spoke out against urban planning & slum clearances that ignored the needs of people. #UX people might even get inspired by her.

You can dig deeper in her book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deat. It is still in active use as I understood from the documentary.

She went up against Robert Moses, who sounds like a Trump-like character who wanted to build sterile landscapes designed for cars, not people. Rather soulless, in fact. Jacobs & others stopped him, but unfortunately, many around the world adopted his ideas. which suddenly explains all those blocks of soulless housing you see from other big cities, Those blocks that have often been dynamited decades after being built because they failed. #cinemastodon #documentary #filmstriben

I just watched a really cool Netscape TV documentary called "Pangolin". It's about a young, illegally captured pangolin and the people working to re-wild him on an animal reserve in South Africa.

The photography and cinematography are STRIKINGLY beautiful.

The story is compelling, and the story-telling is excellent.

Pangolins are SO COOL. Now I have to read all I can about them.

Cute baby pangolin photo. A pangolin is a mammal that's covered in hard scales. It eats ants and termites. It has a VERY long tongue that resembles an anteater's.

My ★★★★ review of UnBroken on @letterboxd: boxd.it/9wWwBz

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of UnBroken (2023)UnBroken chronicles how seven siblings, ages 6 –18, evaded certain capture and death and ultimately escaped Nazi Germany through the kindness of people who opposed the Nazi Regime. They were one of the very few, if not only, family to have all the children survive, especially when one of the parents was killed and the other could not join them until a decade later.  Through archival footage and interviews with the remaining siblings, all in their 80s and 90s, this is a tremendous record of what these families went through and the documentary is made by the daughter of the

Ukraine war documentary 2000 Meters to Andriivka is a horrifying triumph
Director Mstyslav Chernov's 2000 Meters to Andriivka — which will have its Canadian premiere at Hot Docs on April 27 ahead of a fall theatrical release — is a harrowing account of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine that constantly asks "What is this war for?"

“Profit… it’s not the top priority. Our top priority is to manage the forest in a way we can make it more resilient and healthier than it is today.”

Windspeaker.comDocumentary tells the story of a forestry company looking forward seven generations to manage landsOfficials with an Indigenous-owned forestry company in British Columbia insist they are not tooting their own horn. But when an opportunity presented itself for Ntityix Resources, owned by Westbank First Nation, to get its story out via a documentary, they jumped at the opportunity. The result is a 22-minute film released earlier this month and now being shared on social media platforms. The film, titled tmixʷ: A Holistic Commitment to Our Forests, delves into Ntityix Resources’ approach to sustainable forest management.

Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi had been following the life of photojournalist Fatma Hassona for her documentary movie "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk", but a week and a half ago, the day after they heard the film had been selected for the Cannes Film Festival, Hassona was killed, along with nine members of her family. Sepideh Farsi speaks to FRANCE 24.

You might not know the name Allee Willis, but you know her work: She co-wrote the "Friends" theme tune "I'll Be There For You," "September" and "Boogie Wonderland," by Earth Wind and Fire, and the Pointer Sisters' "Neutron Dance." The last of these even led to her being declared the world's most dangerous woman by the Russian newspaper Pravda. "She's damn near written half my memories," Questlove said of her. And that's before we even mention her Broadway triumphs, design work for MTV and Blondie, and invention of the Metaverse. Here's @Salon's review of a new Hulu documentary, "The World According to Allee Willis," which tells the inspiring story of her phenomenal talent and creative life. Willis died in 2019; minutes into the film’s opening, she is on screen saying, “I’ve always known that my final art piece would be someone putting together the trail I’ve left behind.”

I very much recommend watching/listening to this beautiful documentary @arte on the incredible Renaissance composer Orlando di Lasso: arte.tv/de/videos/106698-000-A.

I'd been waiting to see it after having discovered the absolutely remarkable* CD recording that was also done as part of the project and was not disappointed. I particularly appreciated being able to watch the multilingual version.

* To my ears, 80% of the recording is absolutely stunning stuff and the rest is best skipped, but I genuinely appreciate the bravery: The experimentation in and of itself is to be praised and Lasso's music lends itself very well to that.

ARTEOrlando di Lasso, ein Komponistenleben der Renaissance - Die ganze Doku | ARTEIn einer Mischung aus Musik und Erzählung zeichnet der Film das Leben des franko-flämischen Musikers Orlando di Lasso (1532-1594) nach. Das Werk dieses bedeutenden Renaissance-Komponisten fasziniert ebenso wie sein bewegendes Schicksal. Zu Lebzeiten in ganz Europa gefeiert, kämpfte er zeitlebens gegen die Demütigungen, denen er als Diener autoritärer Herrscher ausgesetzt war.
