Stolen Youth (2004)
A hard-hitting documentary on the experiences of Palestinian child
prisoners. The documentary includes interviews with ex-child detainees,
their families and their lawyer as well as exclusive footage from the
inside an Israeli military court. The film highlights the personal pain
experienced by the children and their relatives during the period of their
incarceration, as well as placing this suffering within the wider context
of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Redemption: The Tookie Williams Story (2005)
The film touches on the life of Stanley Tookie Williams, a founding member
of the Crips street gang, principally on his life in the streets and his
life in prison. It also shows some of the work he has done while
incarcerated to help decrease gang violence in the world. The film was
shot in 2004 while Williams was still imprisoned. On December 13, 2005,
Williams was executed by lethal injection in California.

Our Sacred History and White Man Lies (2006)
‘An online documentary about the history of AIM and political repression
from the FBI. Included in this documentary are contributions made by
Warrior John Graham. The Anna Mae murder case is analysed with a
magnifiying glass, and is proving to be more white man lies. Ultimately
the ball is in the courts of today's generation of Warriors to stand
strong with our Sisters and Brothers who are being targeted in the Anna
Mae murder case. Anna Mae was an inspiring leader of AIM, and we need to
open our eyes to the fact that her contributions and her memory are being
exploited by the FBI to trash AIM, her own organization.’ Native Youth
Movement-Vancouver
