- Israel's ongoing military occupation of Palestinian territory and repeated invasions of the Gaza strip have triggered a fierce backlash against Israeli policies virtually everywhere in the world - except the United States. The Occupation of the American Mind takes an eye-opening look at this critical exception, zeroing in on pro-Israel public relations efforts within the U.S. Narrated by Roger Waters and featuring leading observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. media culture, the film explores how the Israeli government, the U.S. government, and the pro-Israel lobby have joined forces, often with very different motives, to shape American media coverage of the conflict in Israel's favor. From the U.S.-based public relations campaigns that emerged in the 1980s to today, the film provides a sweeping analysis of Israel's decades-long battle for the hearts, minds, and tax dollars of the American people in the face of widening international condemnation of its increasingly right-wing policies. Featuring Amira Hass, M.J. Rosenberg, Stephen M. Walt, Noam Chomsky, Rula Jebreal, Henry Siegman, Rashid Khalidi, Rami Khouri, Yousef Munayyer, Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Phyllis Bennis, Norman Solomon, Mark Crispin Miller, Peter Hart and Sut Jhally.

Following 40 years of tense relations with the government, much of it focusing on Christiania's open hashish trade, Christiania is on its way towards becoming a legitimate, though still alternative and self-governed, community. But will legitimacy compromise their fundamental values?

- Paris unter deutscher Besatzung: Während die Franzosen im Alltag vom Nazi-Terror bedroht sind, herrscht auf dem Kunstmarkt Hochstimmung. Was sich in dem berühmten Aktionshaus Hôtel Drouot vollzieht, ist ein unheilvoller, skrupelloser Handel: Unzählige der dort eingehenden Werke stammen aus dem Besitz jüdischer Familien, die durch deutsche An- und Verordnungen beraubt wurden. Unter der NS-Besatzung erlebte der Kunstmarkt in Frankreich einen unerhörten Boom. Zwischen 1940 und 1944 sollen etwa 100.000 Kunstwerke, Kunst- und Kulturgegenstände von Frankreich nach Deutschland gebracht worden sein. In langjähriger Arbeit hat die französische Autorin und Kunsthistorikerin Emmanuelle Polack diesem gigantischen kriminellen Kunsttransfer nachgespürt und neue Ergebnisse zutage gefördert. Ihre Indizien führen zu Galeristen, Sammlern, Händlern, Vertretern des NS-Regimes, Versteigerern, Konservatoren und einfachen Mittelsleuten. Den historischen Hintergrund bilden die von der Vichy-Regierung unter Marschall Pétain erlassenen antisemitischen Gesetze, die im besetzten Frankreich galten und von den französischen Behörden durchgesetzt wurden. Tausende von Kunstwerken aus dem Besitz verfolgter und deportierter Juden wurden geraubt oder zu Spottpreisen erworben. Ein blinder Fleck des kollektiven Gedächtnisses, der an die aktuelle Restitutionsdebatte anknüpft. Erst 2020 begann der Louvre genauer zu überprüfen, welche Kunstwerke während der Okkupation vom Museum erworben wurden. In Deutschland wurden, ebenfalls 2020, drei Werke der Sammlung Dorville an die Familie von Armand Dorville zurückgegeben, aufgefunden bei Cornelius Gurlitt (1932-2014), dem Sohn und Erben von Hildebrand Gurlitt (1895-1956), der ab 1940 vor allem in Paris einer von Hitlers Haupteinkäufern für das geplante Führermuseum ("Sonderauftrag Linz") im damals zum Großdeutschen Reich gehörenden Linz gewesen war. Linz ist gut hundert Kilometer von Braunau am Inn entfernt, wo Adolf Hitler 1889 geboren wurde.

- Many describe the Israeli Palestinian conflict using such words as 'occupation', 'apartheid, 'ethnic cleansing' and 'endless cycle of violence'. Yet, none of these terms characterizes the reality - what goes on in Palestine is not of our experience, not represented in our our language. To get to some understanding, we must observe carefully. But, that leads to holding multiple and conflicting ideas in the mind, putting ourselves into a state of 'cognitive dissonance'. It is at this point that most revert back to their political comfort zone. Here, at last, is a film that gets beyond simple minded appraisals and takes us on a thoughtful journey into an unknown world.
- A dynamic story of how students and immigrant janitors took on-and defeated-one of the most powerful corporations in the world, "Occupation" documents the historic three-week sit-in by the Harvard Living Wage Campaign.
