- There is so much interest in food these days yet there is almost no interest in the hands that pick that food. In the US, farm labor has always been one of the most difficult and poorly paid jobs and has relied on some of the nation's most vulnerable people. While the legal restrictions which kept people bound to farms, like slavery, have been abolished, exploitation still exists, ranging from wage theft to modern-day slavery. These days, this exploitation is perpetuated by the corporations at the top of the food chain: supermarkets. Their buying power has kept wages pitifully low and has created a scenario where desperately poor people are willing to put up with anything to keep their jobs.

- CHALLENGING IMPOSSIBILITY chronicles the weightlifting odyssey of the late spiritual teacher and peace advocate Sri Chinmoy. Known worldwide for his message of oneness, Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to inspiring people to go beyond their limits by using the power of meditation. Surprisingly, at the age of 53, the Indian-born mystic took up weightlifting. Already an advocate of the necessity of physical fitness in the spiritual life, the New York City-based Guru was inspired to demonstrate the tangible power of inner peace by performing incredible, but real feats of strength. CHALLENGING IMPOSSIBILITY focuses on an exhibition he held on 13 November 2004 in New York City where he lifted a total of 200,408 pounds. He was 73 years old at the time. In the audience were dozens of renowned strength athletes and bodybuilders. Featuring: Bill Pearl, Frank Zane, Carl Lewis and Hugo Girard. Appearances by Desmond Tutu, Sting, Susan Sarandon and Nelson Mandela. Music by Explosions in the Sky, Arvo Pärt. Challenging Impossibility premiered at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival and went on to play at 75 more (Warsaw, St. Louis, Bend, Louisville) and won 7 Best Short Documentary Awards at those festivals
