In a conversation between two generations of soccer fans, stories about the two World Cups that took place in Belo Horizonte are told. It was there that one of the biggest upsets in the history of soccer happened, England's defeat to the USA in 1950. A match in which the English believed they had already won, even before playing. The same thing happened with Brazil, in the sad match against Uruguay, which resulted in the "Maracanazo". In BH, 64 years later, an unprepared team believes it can beat Germany. Unprecedented scenes of a group of fans echo the perplexity that crossed the country during the 7-1 defeat of the Germans over the Brazilians, which led to the "Mineirazo".

Consumerism & the Limits to Imagination

Consumerism & the Limits to Imagination

2014 • 43 min • United States of America
Consumer capitalism dominates our economy, our politics, and our culture, even though a growing body of research suggests it may be well past its sell-by date. In this illustrated presentation based on his latest critically acclaimed book, media scholar Justin Lewis makes a compelling case that consumer capitalism can no longer deliver on its promise of enhancing quality of life, and argues that changing direction will require changing our media system and our cultural environment. After showing how consumer capitalism has become economically and environmentally unsustainable, Lewis explores how our cultural and information industries make it difficult to envision other forms of human progress by limiting critical thinking and keeping us locked in a cycle of consumption. And he argues that change will only be possible if we take culture seriously and transform the very way we organize our media and communications systems.

Little Big Girls

Little Big Girls

2014 • 53 min • Canada
The documentary Little Big Girls by director Hélène Choquette sheds light on the phenomenon of early-onset puberty. Today, it isn’t unusual to see the earliest signs of puberty in girls younger than the age of 9, though this was not the case a few decades ago. The result, inevitably, is a disconnect between the girls’ physical and emotional maturity. Far from being a marginal issue, early-onset puberty is fast becoming a worldwide public health concern. A number of causes are suspected: Could obesity and exposure to environmental contaminants, for instance, be to blame? While the causes may still be misunderstood, the physical, psychological and psychosocial repercussions on young girls going through this change so early are all too visible. Little Big Girls alerts us to the need to adapt, as a society, so as to minimize the impact of this phenomenon on our children.
