Where to Invade Next

Michael Moore’s latest documentary is unlike any other. He visits other countries to find great ideas to take back to America. As he himself explains it, he decides to pick the flowers but not the weeds and came to Iceland to learn about our global leadership position when it comes to closing the gender gap.

Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir and Kristin Olafsdottir | Watch

These two Icelandic women have made a powerful documentary about the power and value of intuition – or Innsæi – as we call it in Icelandic. A transformative documentary that will leave no one untouched.

Leslee Udwin | Watch

India’s Daughter

I had the pleasure of working with Leslee when she made her impactful documentary about the horrible events that went down in Delhi in 2012 when Jyoti, a recent medical school graduate was gang raped and killed. This documentary is not about India – it is about two societal injustices that we must correct, the different value we place on the genders and the different lives we have created for those who "have" and those who "have not."
