The Yucatec Maya Film Project began in 1976 when a team of North American ethnographic filmmakers lived and worked for a year in a small South Central Yucatec community. To date, four hour-long programs, "The Living Maya", have been broadcast on PBS and distributed though Documentary Educational Resources in Watertown, MA and Alexander Street Press in Alexandria, VA. Subsequently the Project produced "Yucatec Maya Deaf Sign", a documentary which studied deaf Maya persons and their unique, home-grown sign system. Recently, the Project released "Ch’a Chaac The Maya Rain Ceremony", a chronicle of traditional magic and the many complications which arose in a community where age-old beliefs are under attack.

Nicaragua’s first full-length feature in 20 years, La Yuma tells the story of a young woman who dreams of transcending her bleak life in the slums of Managua by becoming a boxer. Looking beyond the meager possibilities that seem available to her (and ignoring the advice of her gang-member friends), she finds solace and hope in her training and falls in love with a middle-class journalism student. With an extraordinary performance by Alma Blanco as Yuma, the strength, astuteness and determination of the main character reflect the feelings of a population that faces adversity and inequality. Jaugey’s film allows us the rare opportunity to get a glimpse of life in this Central American country where gender and class inequality are an everyday challenge.

After 100 years of colonial rule, Papua New Guinea achieved sovereignty and celebrated its very first independence day in 1975. As a group of disparate native peoples, speaking different dialects and living on different islands were poised to unite and prepare for their first democratic election, legendary documentarist Dennis O'Rourke captured both the people and the atmosphere on the brink of this momentous day. O'Rourke expertly turns his lens on the people of Papua New Guinea, and allows their words and the beauty of the islands to form the narrative of this masterful documentary, without using narration or intervention. The islanders frame their own story from their own perspective about their independence, and the authentic footage of the people and events is unforgettable. Yumi Yet is O'Rourke's first documentary, and has received wide acclaim ever since its release in 1976.
