Trailer: Battle for Brooklyn


Battle for Brooklyn explores the poorly understood phenomenon of eminent domain abuse. A feature-length documentary from filmmakers Michael Galinsky, Suki Hawley, and David Beilinson, this film investigates how real estate developers, local government, community activists, and the media have clashed over the largest single-source development project ever proposed in New York City. Widely known as the Atlantic Yards project, this undertaking has for the past four years been a major source of contention as local residents resist a billionaire developers attempt to use eminent domain to seize their homes and businesses. Done in the name of "development," schemes such as this one eviscerate private property rights and make a mockery of the Fifth Amendment--and yet they freely exploit lucrative taxpayer subsidies, easements, and tax abatements.

The Rubber Room - trailer


The Rubber Room exposes how New York City wastes tens of millions a year warehousing hundreds of teachers who have been removed from the classroom, all while denying their right to due process. Accused of misconduct and incompetence, these teachers are forced to report to the "rubber room," a name that captures teachers' desolate feeling of entrapment. Teachers spend weeks, months, even years in the rubber room, where they are not allowed to work but do collect their full salaries. A deeply disturbing exposé of how unions and government are colluding to squander huge sums of taxpayer dollars, this film depicts how the New York City education system has failed its children while blatantly disregarding the First Amendment.

Moving Minutes: Manuel Ayau "Teaching Freedom"


In this 2001 interview from the Liberty Fund's "Intellectual Portrait Series," Manuel Ayau explains why it is important to teach the philosophy of liberty. Ayau was an inspiring leader in Central America who lived through the bloody civil war in Guatemala and devoted his life to preventing similar horrors from ever occurring again. Key to that effort was founding a university premised on the idea of individual liberty. The world's first university devoted to such principles, the Universidad Francisco Marroquin quickly became Guatemala's premier university and is thriving nearly 40 years later. Upon Manuel Ayau's passing this year, MPI honors him and gives tribute to his ground-breaking work for the cause of freedom.

Marina of the Zabbaleen Trailer


Marina of the Zabbaleen focuses on the struggle of a marginalized Egyptian people to support and sustain a culture of family and belief. The zabbaleen (Cairos Christian garbage collectors) have carved out a niche for themselves in a world where they are a distinct and oppressed minority--but, as the film shows, a world without religious liberty is a world where efforts at cultural preservation and economic innovation are always radically compromised. To make the film, director Engi Wassef, herself a Coptic Christian of Egyptian origin, gained unprecedented entry to the remote, cliff-side world of the zabbaleen; centering her documentary on a young girl who aspires against all odds to become a doctor, she deftly explores the ways and means of Cairos hidden garbage-collecting culture. Banned in Egypt, Marina of the Zabbaleen premiered in April 2007 at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film is being hailed as a gorgeous and painterly account of the troubled daily life of an obscure but revealing Middle Eastern people.

Roles trailer


Together since college, Matt and Connor are the picture of the all-American couple: they had the perfect June wedding, settled into a typical 2-bedroom starter home, and have until now lived up to the expectations of their parents and friends. But the pressure of maintaining the "perfect" life becomes too much to bear, and in an attempt to escape from reality and create more excitement, Matt and Connor experiment with role-playing. As they become more and more immersed in their characters, they realize that the lines between reality and fantasy have become blurred. They discover that they don't know who they really are, and they decide to rebuild their lives with a completely different approach. At once comical and insightful, Roles explores the perils of casually following the paths others expect of us and reveals the importance of embracing our individuality.

Manuel Ayau "Free-Market"


Last week, MPI introduced you to Manuel Ayau, an inspiring leader in Central America who founded the first university in the world devoted to individual liberty, the Universidad Francisco Marroquin. Having lived through the bloody civil war in Guatemala, Ayau devoted his life to preventing similar horrors from ever occurring again. He created UFM on that premise and it has been Guatemala's premier university for nearly 40 years. In this second clip from the Liberty Fund's "Intellectual Portrait Series," Ayau talks about overcoming the obstacles to building a successful free market institution in Central America. He explains that Guatemala's businessmen viewed competition in the market as a threat to the advantages they held, which posed a challenge to the funding UFM and the maintaining of friendly partnerships. Upon Ayau's passing this year, MPI honors him and gives tribute to his ground-breaking work for the cause of freedom.

Museum of Government Waste teaser


Museum of Government Waste is an eye-opening and entertaining look at federal government spending through the eyes of an average American. Like the rest of us, 40-year-old Floridian Greg Knapp is concerned about his children's future in a country saddled with unprecedented national debt. But unlike the rest of us, Greg decides to head to Washington to find out how and why our federal government is spending our country into financial ruin. Once in DC, Greg learns that as a regular citizen he has no access inside the Beltway, so he decides to play the Washington game. He hires a lobbyist and goes after his own piece of wasteful pork -- an earmark for a Museum of Government Waste. Neither Greg nor the audience ever expects Greg to get his ridiculous earmark, but we understand this is the only way we can truly see what's taking place in our nation's Capitol. Greg's journey takes him across the country, inside the offices of high-profile lobbyists, and, eventually, behind closed doors at a fundraiser for one of the most powerful politicians on Capitol Hill. In what begins as a humorous attempt to get the ultimate anti-earmark earmark, Greg's quest becomes increasingly serious as he realizes that the American political process is in worse shape than he ever dreamed, and that he just might get his earmark after all. Museum of Government Waste is not only a funny and entertaining ride, but is sure to make even the most jaded citizen furious.

Pups of Liberty trailer


Pups of Liberty tells the story of the Boston Tea Party using animated cats and dogs to represent the English and the American colonists. The figures of Samuel Adams ("Spaniel" Adams), Paul Revere (Paul "Ruffere"), and more come to life when transformed into their endearing canine counterparts. The year is 1776 in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Redcats have just arrived, announcing taxes on newspapers and "teabones" from the Royal Tom-Cat. Unable to change the law, energetic young pup Anne Kennel and her father John, the town printer-hound, gather all of the colonist pups together to protest and stage a teabone boycott. Despite intimidation from the Redcats, Anne and the pups are inspired to push forward for the cause of freedom. Proclaiming "No Laws Without Paws!," the pups rally for their independence from Major Mew and the Redcats and lead the Americanine Revolution. A captivating tale of courage, determination, and triumph, Pups of Liberty makes history accessible and fun for children, and shows them that sometimes all it takes is a single spark to bring about change.

The Libel Tourist - UPDATED


***UPDATE: On March 31, 2008, the New York State Legislature unanimously passed the Libel Terrorism Protection Act ("Rachel's Law") to protect New York-based authors and publishers in print and on the Internet from the enforcement of foreign libel judgments. Mahfouz lived to witness the failure of his lawfare, inadvertently leading Americans to better protect their free speech rights. He died in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 16, 2009. Following in New York's footsteps, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee and Utah passed similar laws. A national version of "Rachel's Law" was introduced in the US Congress on April 16, 2008. The bill underwent different incarnations and, in a rare show of bi-partisanship, the Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage Act (SPEECH Act), HR 2765 (as amended by the Leahy-Sessions Speech Act) was passed unanimously by the 111th Congress on July 27, 2010 and signed into law by President Barack Obama on August 10, 2010.*** This documentary short film, produced by the Moving Picture Institute, shows how Saudi billionaire Khalid Bin Mafhouz exploits the British legal system and sues for libel whenever he is the subject of a terrorism accusation. Directed by MPI fellow Jared Lapidus, the film explains how Mahfouz filed a libel suit against Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed -- and How to Stop It.
