Guns, Germs and Steel (DVD)
This documentary offers some vital clues as to why there is such a huge economic and cultural divide in the population of the world--and the results are startling. Writer Jared Diamond set off on a globe-straddling tour to figure out this conundrum, with the answers gleaned over a 30 year period. A Pulitzer-Prize winning book followed, and now, so does this fascinating visualization of his findings. Diamond posits the theory that guns, germs, and steel are at the root of all the world's inequalities, and he presents a convincing case for his findings. Drawing on a variety of social,
economic, and scientific factors to back up his claims, Diamond takes viewers on a thought-provoking ride, resulting in a refreshing perspective that provides an entirely new angle for viewers to ruminate on.

Similar to the 2003 Brazilian drama CITY OF GOD, this Argentinean film offers a disquieting portrait of gang life in Argentina. As Buenos Aires sinks deeper into poverty, a pregnant young girl decides she`s had enough of the gang life and attempts to leave the crime-strewn streets behind her. Her fellow gang member and boyfriend also tries to leave, after pulling off one last robbery. But as keen-eyed cinemagoers know,
one last robbery
usually spells doom, and as PIZZA, BEER AND SMOKES careers towards a turbulent conclusion, it seems the gang life isn`t as easy to escape from as some may think.
