- November 3, 1979. Greensboro, North Carolina. Willena Cannon, a lifelong civil rights activist and member of the Workers Viewpoint Organization, helped arrange a "Death to The Klan" rally and conference. As she and her 10-year old son, Kwame, began to participate, the worst possible scenario became a reality. With police suspiciously absent, a caravan of cars filled with Klan and Nazi members rolled through the rally, engaged in a fight with the protesters and opened fire with shotguns, rifles and pistols, killing 5 and wounding 10. Live footage from local news cameras caught the massacre in its brutal form, yet each of the accused were eventually found innocent of all charges. In this award-winning documentary, Andy Coon explores the buried evidence from both state and federal court prosecutions by examining the trials under a new lens; he vividly exposes civil trial records, through documentation and interviews, which proved the existence of local police, FBI and ATF informants surrounding the rally. Going one-step beyond the vision of A&E and The History Channel's coverage of the event, Coon fast-forwards seven years later, to the plight of an immature, yet harmless, 17-year-old Kwame Cannon. Arrested for six counts of non-violent burglary, Cannon naively accepts a pre-trial plea bargain consisting of two consecutive life sentences. Here's the catch: * Proper legal representation was provided to Kwame * The judge actually tried to warn him of the consequences for accepting the plea * His mother was advised to skip the hearing due to her roots in community activism. If it takes a village to raise a child, then this is the story of Greensboro's Child.#14 Greensboro, NC

- DirectorAndré ForcierStarsTony NardiDaniel BrièreRémy GirardÂgé d'une soixantaine d'années, seul, puceau, réduit à s'écrire des lettres enflammées, Félix Cotnoir est un desperado de l'amour, un être en état de quête perpétuelle. À force de trop vouloir aimer, Félix Cotnoir est encore puceau à 68 ans. Mais qu'à cela ne tienne, le voici amoureux de la maîtresse de son ami, une romancière dont il n'a vu que la photo sur la couverture de son roman Kalamazoo ou elle était déguisée en sirène. D'un fantasme et d'une aventure à l'autre, c'est d'une véritable sirène que Félix Cotnoir deviendra amoureux.---------- L'art de Forcier permet au film d'exister à la frontière du plausible et de la folie, du désespoir et de l'humour, du sublime et du grotesque. Kalamazoo est un grand poème d'amour organisé avec maestria par l'auteur le plus singulier du cinéma québécois. (Marcel Jean, 1988)#10 Kalamazoo, MI
