The yellow wallpaper

The story of a woman who is gradually becoming insane. While taking a rest cure, she becomes obsessed with the wallpaper and begins to imagine that there is a woman trying to claw her way out. One of the first major feminist writers, Charlotte Perkins Gilman spent her life fighting to liberate women from the yoke of domesticity. This is a stunning BBC dramatization of Gilman's autobiographical account of a woman driven to madness by the repressive mores of Victorian culture. Stephen Dillon as the husband, John, and Julia Watson as the despondent heroine give stellar performances in this production directed by the BBC's John Clive. Based on the 1890 short story.

Up : the classic documentary series

 

In 1964, Michael Apted interviewed a group of seven-year-old children from diverse backgrounds from all over England, asking them about their lives and their dreams for the future. Every seven years, Apted has been back to talk to the same subjects, making the Up series an unparalleled achievement in the documentation of human development. The "every seven years" approach has enabled audiences around the world to witness a fascinating progression--and to make all manner of comparisons, contrasts, and connections--as young children transition into the teen years, young adulthood, and middle age on film. This chronicle is essential viewing for psychology and sociology.

Shadow company

Shadow company is the groundbreaking documentary that reveals the origins and destinations of modern-day mercenaries. In the late 20th century, the distinction between soldier and mercenary became blurred. The recent use of private military companies (PMCs) in Iraq has been more extensive than at any time in modern history. The brutal killing of four PMC employees in Fallujah in April 2004 made it clear that these "contractors" are not merely workers in a foreign land. But are the lives of such men the only thing at risk when we privatize warfare? Shadow company explores the moral and ethical issues private military solutions create for PMC employees, for the Western governments who foot the bill for their salaries, and for everyday citizens. The filmmakers traveled the globe to expose all sides of the issue, interviewing PMC staff, owners and lobbyists, former mercenaries, academics, journalists, and authors.

A force more powerful : a century of nonviolent conflict

 

This six-part series tells one of the 20th century's most important and least-known stories: how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule. In South Africa in 1907, Mohandas Gandhi led Indian immigrants in a nonviolent fight for rights denied them by white rulers. The power that Gandhi pioneered has been used by underdogs on every continent and in every decade of the 20th century, to fight for their rights and freedom.
