Moral Kombat
Moral Kombat takes a look into the controversial subject of violence in video games. Director Spencer Halpin shows the constant conflict between the game creators' first amendment right to make a violent game and the imminent threat that violence poses on the next generation. In addition, the film is full of the latest green screen and high-definition technology that allow watchers to actually envision the world of gaming. Filled with interviews from lead game designers, politicians, parents, and psychologists, this film provides a candid take on the influence games have on youth today.

A Minute of Your Time: "Hot Dogs"
You love your pet, don't you? Well would you love it if you knew it was destroying the planet? Professors Robert and Brenda Vale say that a large dog requires 2.7 acres of land to sustain, and that the only rational thing to do is eat it when it dies. Now, before writing this notion off, consider this: the average American child generates a carbon footprint about six times greater than one of its parents. Maybe it's time to...no, no, we can't say it.

Lee Daniels' Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire, is a vibrant, honest, and resoundingly hopeful story of Claireece “Precious” Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl pregnant for the second time by her absent father.  At home, her mother (Mo’Nique), a poisonously angry woman, abuses her emotionally and physically. Precious has reached the ninth grade with an awful secret: she can neither read nor write. Offered the chance to transfer to an alternative school, she begins a journey that will lead her from darkness, pain, and powerlessness to light, love, and self-determination.
