The Whanganui is the first river to be recognized as a legal person. Together, this diverse group of people embraces the spirit of the river and tries to find what is needed to save the planet.

A year after the euphoria on Tahrir Square, the demonstrators' goals have not even come close to being reached. The country is ruled with an iron fist and there is still no democracy. The 'eye of the world' has moved elsewhere. How things have been in Egypt since 25 January 2011 is explained using five portraits of people from various walks of life. What have the sacrifices on Tahrir Square at the start of 2011 yielded? Unfortunately, not a great deal; this much is apparent from the stories of five Egyptians involved, about six months after the historic revolution. A young horse herdsman tells how he drove to the square to ask for the pyramids to be opened again; he only just managed to survive that day. A taxi driver talks about his six years in prison, the torture, and how the police now behave worse than ever. A young woman talks about intimidation and unjust arrests, which according to human rights lawyers are happening continuously

緬甸經歷半世紀獨裁統治，在黯淡無光的歲月，他們用詩來照亮生命。作家昂賓特一生就是一首長詩，他是知名良心犯，曾多次被捕入獄，痛苦回憶烙印在心，近年患上柏金遜症，但總算目睹國家見曙光，兒子離鄉廿載終能回家團聚。緬甸實行民主改革後，歷史傷口仍在結痂，年輕世代的詩歌就成為批判社會不公義、提倡變革的尖兵。導演彼特羅（《重返塔希爾廣場》，36 屆）以昂賓特及其詩歌為中心，輔以其他年輕詩人的作品，透過詩意畫面，捕捉蛻變中的緬甸風貌。

Mr. Ihsan Khan was a taxi cab driver in Washington DC for over 20 years. Then he won a fortune in a lottery and decided to return to his hometown in Pakistan to run for mayor. Naturally, he won—but soon after a massive earthquake devasted the region. This film tells his story, and asks: what is the relation between money and politics in a democracy?

伊朗总统内贾德在德黑兰设立了“人民来信处理中心”，每一年，这里能收到500万封来信，加上手机短信和电子邮件，共有来信1000万封左右。民众集会时，会有专车上街收信，人们挥舞着手里的纸条，很多纸条上只是留了一个电话号码和一句话：“请您帮帮我，总统。” “我们回复的大概占其中的76%。”一个工作人员说，但这个数字显然靠不住。纪录片导演采访的平民当中，不少人都信誓旦旦地表示有认识的人收到了总统回信，但他们自己从来没有这份幸运。有人也抱怨：“他就像种地的光撒种子不浇水。” 很多人对着镜头表现了他们对总统的爱戴——他在大清真寺演讲都不需要红地毯，“他知道自己是公仆”。人们看到拿摄像机的是西方人，经常会高呼“美国人去死！”“伊朗有权使用核能！”之类口号，也不时谨慎地提醒没什么“城府”的同胞：“别跟外国记者什么都说！”德黑兰的中产阶级最老于世故：“我们可不吃那一套，只有农民才写信呢。” 街头的采访反映了伊朗平民最关心的问题，作者的用意在于揭示：在实用主义、宗教信仰、政治策略和制度把戏同时发挥作用的一个体制里，要准确地评判一个国家的政治有多么困难。
