Bully (2011, 99 min)Call2ACtion with Wyoming kids Count
Panel discussion and audience talk-back follows filmDirected by Lee Hirsch (USA)
This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience. BULLY is the first feature documentary film to show how we’ve all been affected by bul-lying, whether we’ve been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. BULLY opens on the first day of school. For the more than 13 million kids who’ll be bullied this year in the United States, it’s a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school busses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown. For a lot of kids, the only thing that’s certain is that this year, like every other, bullying will be a big part of whatever meets them at their school’s front doors. Every school in the U.S. is grappling with bullying-each day more than 160,000 kids across the country are absent because they’re afraid of being bullied-but for many districts it’s just one more problem that gets swept under the rug. BULLY is a character-driven film. At its heart are those with the most at stake and whose stories each represent a different facet of this crisis.

Wyoming triumph (2011, 52 min)KGB Productions, Directed by Chris Kitchen and Sam Pope
Take a journey deep into the mountains of Wyoming with a group of unique characters, as they explore the state with the most rugged and remote terrain in the lower-48; a place where the ideals of individualism and freedom that founded the West are alive and well.
From the cattle ranch to the backcountry, the crew will push their mental and physical limits to overcome injuries, wild weather and unforeseen circumstances, in the un-skied terrain of remote Wyoming.
With an entirely original score, it will be a movie of exploration, set mostly in towns where more people own an elk rifle than a pair of skis.
Veteran skiers Rob LaPier and Trevor Hiatt are joined in their adventures by the most talented youth freeriders in the region: Tucker Mead, Matt Lucskow, Max Hammer, North Parker and Aidan Sheahan.
A story of grassroots exploration, of pushing the limits in the most remote and unforgiving terrain, of youth versus experience, Wyoming Triumph will captivate and inspire. You will laugh, you will feel the passion, and you may well cry.
Carroll BakerMiss Baker began her film career in 1953, with a small part in Easy to Love. After appearing in televi-sion commercials and training at New York’s Actors Studio, she took a role in the Broadway production of All Summer Long. That appearance brought her to the attention of director Elia Kazan who cast Baker as the title character in his controversial 1956 Baby Doll. Her Tennessee Williams-scripted role as a Mississippi teenage bride to a failed middle-aged cotton gin owner brought Baker instant fame as well as a certain level of notoriety. Baby Doll would remain the film for which she is best remembered. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role. Two months prior to the release of Baby Doll, she appeared in the supporting role of Luz Benedict II in Giant, opposite Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean.
She worked steadily in films throughout the late fifties and early sixties, appearing in a variety of genres: romances, such as The Miracle co-starring a young Roger Moore (1959); westerns, including The Big Country (1958), How the West Was Won (1962) and Cheyenne Autumn (1964). She appeared with Maasai warriors on the cover of 1964 Life magazine issue prior to the release of her 1965 work Mister Moses.
Baker’s portrayal of a Jean Harlow-like movie star in the 1964 hit The Carpetbaggers brought her a second wave of notoriety. The film was the top moneymaker of that year. During the late 1960s and 1970s film locations would take her all around the world, includ-ing Italy, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. A lead role in Andy Warhol’s Bad (1977) brought her back to American shores.

Oscar Nominee – Color Cinematography
Set in 1887, the film recounts the defiant migration of 300 members of the Cheyenne tribe from their reservation in Oklahoma territory to their original home in Wyoming. They have done this at the behest of chiefs Little Wolf (Ricardo Montalban) and Dull Knife (Gilbert Roland), peaceful souls who have been driven to desperate measures because the US government has ignored their pleas for food and shelter. Since the trek is in defiance of their treaty, Captain Thomas Archer (Richard Widmark), agrees with the Cheyenne but reluctantly leads his troops in pursuit of the tribe. During the course of the 1,500 mile journey, a pacifistic schoolmarm Rebecca Wright (Carroll Baker) and falls in love with Capt. Archer. While there was never any intention to shed blood, the newspapers distort the Cheyenne action into a declaration of war. Thanks to the cruelties of Captain Oscar Wessels (Karl Malden), the Cheyenne are forced to defend themselves. Only the intervention of US secretary of the interior Carl Schurz (Edward G. Robinson) prevents the hostilities from erupting into a massacre. Based on a novel by Mari Sandoz, Cheyenne Autumn written in 1952.

Cafeteria Man (2010, 65 min)Call2ACtion with the Cheyenne regional Medical Center
Panel discussion and audience Q and A follows film
Cafeteria Man is a story of positive movement that show’s what’s possible in our nation’s schools. It’s about the aspiration of social activists and citizens coming together to change the way kids eat at school. It’s about overhauling a dysfunctional nutri-tional system. And, it’s the story of what it takes, and who it takes, to make solutions happen.
The feature documentary film chronicles an ambi-tious effort to ‘green’ the public school diet serving 83,000 students in Baltimore.Leading the charge to replace pre-plated, processed foods with locally-grown, freshly-prepared meals is Tony Geraci, food-service director for the city’s public schools. A charismatic chef from New Orleans, Geraci’s bold vision includes school vegetable gardens, student-designed meals, meatless Mondays, and nutrition education in the classroom. His mission is as audacious as it is practical.
“This has never been done before,” affirms Geraci, “but it makes perfect sense.” The film follows Tony Geraci as a central character, introducing audiences to the dynamic assort-ment of human ingredients necessary for reform efforts to succeed.

Oscar Winner – Best Documentary (Short Subject)
Every year in Pakistan, many people – the majority of them women – are victimized by brutal acid attacks, while numerous other cases go unreported. With little or no access to reconstructive surgery, survivors are physically and emotionally scarred. Many reported assailants, typically a husband or someone else close to the victim, receive minimal punish-ment from the state.
Zakia is a 39-year-old woman who had acid thrown on her by her husband after filing for divorce. She strives to find justice, alleviate pain and restore functioning and features to her face.
Rukhsana is a 23-year-old woman who was attacked by her husband and in-laws and forced to reconcile with them.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Mohammad Jawad left the prominence of his London practice to return to his home country and help the victims of such attacks.
SAVING FACE chronicles the lives of Zakia and Rukhsana as they attempt to bring their assailants to justice and move on with their lives. The women are supported by NGOs, sympathetic policy makers, and skilled doctors, such as the Acid Survivors Foundation-Pakistan, Dr. Mohammad Jawad, attorney Ms. Sarkar Abbass who fights Zakia’s case, and female politician Marvi Memon who advocates for new legislation.
Saving Face follows their personal stories and that of the nation of Pakistan as it attempts to tackle this horrific social problem.
