Arclight Cinemas Theater 3, 1:15 pm, Oct. 6, Sunday. War has a dirty secret -- it never really ends. Aftermath: The Remnants of War reveals the twentieth century as the most violent in human history, with a death toll of more than one hundred million. Filmed on location in Russia, France, Bosnia, and Vietnam, the film uses archival images and personal accounts of individuals involved in the cleanup of war: from "de-miners" who risk their lives daily, to a treasure hunter turned archeologist in Stalingrad, to doctors struggling with the contamination from dioxin used during the Vietnam War. Its poignant stories present a sobering message of the terrible aftermath of war.  Director: Daniel SekulichWriters: Allen Abel, Daniel Sekulich, based on the Gelber Prize-winning book Aftermath: The Remnants of War by Donovan Webster Producers: Ed Barreveld, Michael Kot Cinematography: Michael Grippe Editor: Deborah Palloway Aftermath: The Remnants of War website ARMED & INNOCENT United States - West Coast Premiere 18 mins. Arclight Cinemas Theater 3, 3:00 pm, Oct. 4, Friday. Denied a childhood and often subjected to horrific violence, some 300,000 children are serving as soldiers in current armed conflicts. Narrated by Robert DeNiro, Armed & Innocent is a compelling documentary that shares the personal experiences of the children who have been direct participants in war. Their stories of courage, along with the artwork of former child soldiers collected from around the world, invite the viewer into a world of violence no child should ever experience. These children, who have overcome incredible obstacles to reintegrate into society, tell emotional testimonies of deceit and desperation, but also of strength and hope. Director/Writer/Producer: Roya Hakakian Camera: Tom Upton, Bob Sullivan Editor: Kendrick Simmons Cast: Narrated by Robert DeNiro THE BURNING WALL Winner - Best Documentary United States - U.S. Premiere  117 mins. Arclight Cinemas Theater 3, 12:30 pm, Oct. 4, Friday. The Burning Wall illuminates the profoundly contemporary dilemma of individual resistance within a totalitarian state. It depicts those in the GDR who, under the impact of the Nazi past, and confronted with the State Security Police (STASI), fought for social justice, civil liberties, free speech and human rights, who chose responsibility to their personal code of ethics over that of a suppressive regime and who were willing to die for it. It depicts the astounding groundswell of defiance which finally brought down the Berlin Wall.

For the past three years, Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy has produced compelling political essays on nuclear bombs, corporate power, and globalization -- and in particular on big dams, raising serious questions about India's democracy.
