A small rural town of 2,000 becomes a flashpoint for national conversations on private prisons, sex offender recidivism and community notification. When an adult group home CEO buys up local property with the intent of housing McNeil Island's 'worst of the worst' sexually violent predators in a $1 million dollar cash cow scheme, residents and county law enforcement are alarmed as she shrugs off their security concerns. The plan is backed by state officials, who evade community notifications, ignore third-party contract conflicts of interest, resorting to the fabrication of death threats, create false court reports or simply walking out of public meetings to avoid accountability. To make matters worse, bureaucrats shrug off concerns about nearby playgrounds, bus stops and schools, all in an attempt to place a dangerous sex offender who has molested over 800 victims. The town's residents fight back in a public media battle against the greedy CEO and state officials while trying to protect those around them from becoming future victims.

Following this final film in the Endless Nakba Series, the editor and co-producer of “Atrocity Inc.,” Ahmad Hussam, will be available to answer questions from the audience.

​​

Filmmaker Max Blumenthal rips the cover off the media deceptions and atrocity hoaxes Israel pushed after October 7 to create political space for its gruesome assault on the Gaza Strip. Blumenthal exposes the US mainstream media's role as a megaphone for the Israeli government, introducing new lies even after their initial ones were debunked.

​

ATROCITY INC raises serious questions about the official narrative of October 7, while revealing how Israel's army has consciously engaged in the same hideous atrocities which it falsely accused Palestinian militants of committing.

Secret Mall Apartment.jpg

In 2003, eight Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and kept it going for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret mall apartment became an incredibly meaningful act for all the participants, at once an act of defiance against local gentrification, a boundary-pushing work of public/private art, and a 750 square foot space that sticks it to the man.

Ran_2025_1sh_DIGITAL-600x889.jpg.webp

RAN – 40th Anniversary 4K Re-Master!!

​

Celebrate the 40th anniversary re-release of Akira Kurosawa’s final epic masterpiece RAN (1985), starring Tatsuya Nakadai!

​

With Ran, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare’s King Lear as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa’s late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.

Tim Travers (Samuel Dunning) seeks to solve the time travelers paradox. The classic thought experiment of what would happen if you killed your past self. Would it--for example--literally destroy the universe? Tim Travers, self-hating mad genius, is going to find out! Along the way, he'll piss off an international crime syndicate led by Royce (Danny Trejo), engage in a battle of wills with conspiracy theorist radio host James Bunratty (Joel McHale) and even attempt to squeeze in a date in with the dangerously unstable Delilah (Felicia Day). Tim will have to learn how to literally coexist with the worst parts of himself, before his own demons destroy him and the universe with it.
