Freedom & unity : the Vermont movie : one state, many visions /

"Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie is a six-part collaborative documentary produced by several dozen Vermont-based filmmakers. Using cinema verite, personal stories, rare footage, compelling interviews and original re-enactments they've created a living testament that explores the history and contemporary culture of the Green Mountain State. Vermonters past and present -- from Abenakis and early settlers, runaway slaves, farmers, historians, politicians, activists, newcomers moving 'back to the land' -- tell how one small state has made a very big difference." -- Insert.

Tremors in the system the help you need vs. the help you get /

"Tremors in The System does what excellent films do best - it helps us understand by inspiring us to feel the struggles and the emotions that are portrayed on screen. The viewer is exposed to the frustrations of being a person living with an extensive psychiatric history who is unable to attain credibility despite all her attempts to communicate her very genuine concerns."
