A Force More Powerful: A documentary series on one of the 20th century’s most important and least-known stories: how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule in India, the US, and South Africa.

Bombies: Cluster Bombs in Laos: examines the problem of unexploded cluster bombs through the personal experiences of a group of Laotians and foreigners and argues for their elimination as a weapon of war.
