New Arrivals

Three brothers confront the chasm between adolescent yearning and adult responsibilities when brought together to care for their charismatic ninety-three year old grandmother in this critically-acclaimed documentary.

In the series premiere, "The Disturbing Confidence of Ignorance", filmmaker Raoul Peck sets out to illuminate the intertwined currents of hate and bigotry running through history. Focusing on the United States' legacy as a colonial power, Peck explores how race first became institutionalized, the Nazi program of "elimination" and its antecedents in the West, and the looting of the African continent in a "gentlemen's agreement."

In the second episode, "Who the F*** is Columbus", filmmaker Raoul Peck revisits the stories of Christopher Columbus, the Alamo, and the Trail of Tears from an indigenous perspective, showing how "official" history is shaped by those in power and solidified by myth and popular culture. Next, he examines the "doctrine of discovery" used to justify the enslavement of millions of Africans and questions his own story within these narratives.

In the third installment of the series, "Killing at a Distance or ... How I Thoroughly Enjoyed the Outing", filmmaker Raoul Peck looks back at human migration, trade, and weaponry, and shows how Europeans used industrialized steel to conduct warfare from ever-greater distances. Then, he explores the endless cycle of militarization throughout the centuries - from George Washington's efforts to jumpstart American arms manufacturing, to the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

In the series finale, "The Bright Colors of Fascism", filmmaker Raoul Peck explores the challenge of reconciling America's true history with its ideals of freedom and democracy, pointing to the struggle for native representation and the legacy of slavery in institutionalized racism today. Reflecting on his time in Berlin, Peck links the modern resurgence of white nationalism with fascism, slavery, colonialism, and Nazism.

HBO Documentary Films presents a 60-minute biographical profile of Gloria Steinem, an icon of the feminist movement for over 40 years. Produced by Emmy®-winning documentary filmmaker Peter Kunhardt and HBO's own Sheila Nevins, Gloria: In Her Own Words combines recent interviews that showcase Steinem's sharp sense of humor and compassion with archival footage and photographs from the 1950s to today. What emerges is a portrait of a crusader whose singular focus has been to fight for equal rights for women, both in the U.S. and around the world. Beginning with her career as an undercover reporter writing an exposé on the working conditions of Playboy Bunnies, the film chronicles how Gloria was transformed by hearing women's horrifying and humiliating experiences while covering a New York abortion hearing in 1969. Since then, she has been ubiquitous on the front lines of social activism, co-founding Ms. magazine in 1972, participating in countless women's rights marches, and making numerous media appearances. Despite decades of attacks and criticism from the Right, and a number of personal setbacks in recent years, Gloria today remains one of the most outspoken and visible symbols of the women's movement.
