Filmed in the stately mansions of New Orleans, Yes, Ma'am shows the role of the black domestic workers in keeping up the gracious lifestyle so closely associated with the old South. On the surface there is a harmonious relationship between employer and employee, but probe a little deeper and grievances emerge. The maids often feel cut off from their own children as they take care of other people's youngsters. The work is physically hard and they are poorly compensated. They have not had an effective labor organization. This is an ironic social document for sociologists, women's groups, activists and religious groups. College Adult

Yesterday in Rwanda is a haunting film that focuses on one survivor of the genocide and her experience of trauma, displacement and hope. Claire Wihogora emigrated to Canada in 1998, four years after her father, brother and countless other family and friends were killed. The film portrays Claire carrying on with her life today in Toronto, while inevitably haunted by terrible memories of Rwanda. On film she recounts how she and her sister hid in the brush while all around her people were massacred. Nothing can help her forget the hundred days when 800,000 members of the Hutu and Tutsi tribes were slaughtered. Yet she finds comfort in telling her story in schools "to share it to make sure it never happens again." Also, she has founded Women in Rwanda, which links female genocide survivors now living in North America in a support system. The film achieves a fascinating interplay of past and present, as images from Claire's everyday life in Toronto (grey tones) are differentiated from the images of Kigali rendered in color.

This charming film documents the revival and popularity of Yiddish music in today's Europe. It is now considered "world music" and has become the passion of a new generation of artists both Jewish and non-Jewish. The films takes us on a musical tour of performances by artists from all over Europe, highlighting singers Karsten Troyke from Germany and Shura Lipovsky of the Netherlands. One of the features of the film is the subtitling of Yiddish lyrics so that an American audience can fully appreciate the songs. The performers explain why they became attracted to this music. While some of the artists introduce lyrical innovations, most of them interpret the repertoire as faithfully as possible. The performances and the enthusisatic audiences confirm that although Hitler killed the "shtetl "life but he was not able to silence its music. College Adult
