Each year in the U.S. Military, tens of thousands of soldiers are
sexually assaulted by brothers in arms. Most keep assaults quiet,
fearing retaliation and mistrusting the military justice system.
Victims are often forced to resign.

A poetic & political documentary In less than a hundred years, half
of the world's tropical forests have been destroyed. As a consequence,
all over the world forest peoples are threatened and endangered. Among
them the Baka of Central Africa, driven from their ancestral territory
by the advance of logging activities and the establishment of
protected areas, claim their right to live in peace in their natural
environment, their “source of life”, as they say. Despite their
specific situation, the issues raised by the Baka are universal and
essential and particularly relevant in the present.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
