Spotlight: Friends and Friendship

Our friends play an essential part in our lives. They keep us company, know our secrets, and shape our lives as we shape theirs. These films showcase the best of friendship, and remind us all why we choose to spend our lives in the company of others.

Spotlight: The 30th Anniversary of German Unity Day

In recognition of the 30th anniversary of German Unity Day, we offer these films about life in Germany before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Some are about national identity, others are about political division, and all are about Vergangenheitbewältigung -- or the process of reckoning with the past.
