The Golden Age/ La Edad De Oro (#204)
Duration:
56:46 CC Stereo TVG
This film documents one season of the highly competitive "Golden Age" soccer league in Corona Park, Queens, N.Y. The teams are made up of former World Cup players (now middle-aged) from Central and South America. These incredibly skilled players, their former glory a fond memory, muscles creaking, hairlines receding and waistlines expanding, now work as window washers, traders, electricians; but the weekend is theirs. The game is slightly different but the passion remains.

At 16, Hector Salgado endured arrest and torture by Pinochet's forces. By 20, Hector was living in exile in the US, the very place whose foreign policies in Chile contributed to the death and torture of thousands of Chileans. The documentary follows Salgado as he returns to Chile almost 30 years later, camera in hand, to confront the perpetrators and his former captors and looking for answers and justice. In the process, the documentary takes an unflinching look at US foreign policy in Latin America in the 1970s and the legacy of the dictatorship in Chile.

Two New Yorkers - an immigrant folk dancer from the Andes and a modern dancer from Queens - journey to Peru to reconnect with their roots and an astonishing world of traditional dance and culture. After 15 years in New York, Nelida Silva returns to her birthplace in the Andes to host the fiesta patronal - a week of dance, music and ritual honoring the town's patron saint. But Silva's changed, and so has the village. Meanwhile, dancer Cynthia Paniagua embarks on her own quest to "know the real Peru, to unearth the mystery of the dances." She first grapples with cultural misunderstandings and a serious identity crisis in the capital city of Lima before journeying into the Andes, in search of authentic dance.

Dream Havana (#208)
Duration:
56:46 CC Stereo TVPG
In August 1994, more than 33,000 Cubans attempted to escape the island by sea. Two writers, friends since adolescence, faced a choice: continue struggling with the hardships of the island or brave the open water on a homemade raft. Ernesto Santana chose Cuba; Jorge Mota chose the sea. Dream Havana, filmed on location in Cuba, the U.S. and Mexico, captures their struggles, their successes and the friendship that binds them.
