Beaverland

1 hr 6 mins

Biologists and lovebirds Derek and Giorgia have a mission: to do something about the plague of beavers on Tierra del Fuego. In 1946, fifty beavers were introduced to the island off the tip of South America, in the hope they would lead to a fur trade. Without predators, the pesky creatures have thrived, and now evidence of their uninterrupted industriousness is everywhere -- elaborate dams, and gnawed trees being plentiful. In fact, they are completely changing the ecosystem of this island, killing the plants that shelter the penguins from the wind, and turning the island into grasslands. The locals, including the penguin keeper, are not happy about it, and wish Derek and Giorgia all the best. The trouble is, the beavers are rather good at eluding capture, working under the cover of night and disappearing in the day.

Zero Weeks

1 hr 27 mins

What do the United States and Papua New Guinea have in common? They're the only countries in the world without paid family leave. Most Americans agree that family comes first, but in the richest country in the world, having a baby, a medical emergency, or an aging parent can trigger a descent into poverty. No matter where you work or what zip code you live in, you should be able to welcome a new child, care for an aging parent, or tend to a cancer diagnosis without facing financial disaster. But because 78% of Americans say they live paycheck-to-paycheck, families are often forced to choose between taking time off to care for a loved one or to continue work to keep their job and health care. Nearly 1 in 4 mothers return to work within 10 days of having a baby and 2/3 of the current workforce are providing care for aging parents. Weaving powerful stories together with insightful interviews with leading policymakers, economists, researchers, and activists, "Zero Weeks" explores America's paid-leave crisis and the cost of doing nothing. "Zero Weeks" is the fourth documentary by award-winning director Ky Dickens, a female director with a track record for creating poignant work known for shifting policy and public opinion. She was inspired to make this film after facing financial depletion and emotional turmoil for "not enough time," due to a lack of paid leave, after the birth of her first child.

The Real Doctor Zhivago

0 hrs 55 mins

Dr Zhivago is one of the best-known love stories of the 20th century, but the setting of the book also made it famous. It is a tale of passion and fear, set against a backdrop of revolution and violence. The film is what most people remember, but the story of the writing of the book has more twists, intrigue and bravery than many a Hollywood blockbuster. In this documentary, Stephen Smith traces the revolutionary beginnings of this bestseller, to it becoming a pawn of the CIA at the height of the Cold War. The writer of the novel, Boris Pasternak, in the words of his family, willingly committed acts of literary suicide in being true to the Russia he loved, but being honest about the Soviet regime he hated and despised. Under Stalin, writers and artists just disappeared if they didn't support the party line. Many were murdered.
