- DirectorDavid RomeroStarsKim JordanDoug WoodsBlake JonesIt's impossible to ignore the current feeling in America of the 99%, a change is being called for, a change in the way businesses are operated and a change in the way people are treated; a change that allows for more than just a top few to be owners. This is a timely documentary that addresses ways that some American firms are implementing such change. The film captures inspiring stories of employee-owners and founders from New Belgium Brewing (CO), Namaste Solar (CO), and DPR Construction (CA) by following their decisions of expansion, succession, recruitment and layoffs. Learn of cultural challenges of sharing responsibility, distributing leadership, and linking risk and reward. Hear approaches to working collaboratively to be profitable, innovative, sustainable, and to addressing wealth inequality.
- DirectorThomas HarlanJacques d'ArthuysAnna DevotoStarsThomas HarlanMaria VitóriaJosé Neves PaivaThe rise and fall of a revolutionary cooperative movement established in a large private farm in Ribatejo, Portugal, from March to December 1975 (most part of the land occupations occurred in Alentejo, promoted by the communist party).

- DirectorDario FarcyBettina MüllerJoana SpliethArgentina's social movements generate viable alternatives of economies and human relations within a crisis-ridden, exploitative, neoliberal and neo-colonial economic system. RePresente is a documentary that seeks to open a space for voices, explanations, anecdotes but also images and dynamics of a world that does not stop to inspire us - a world that provides us with new inputs for debate, criticism and creation. The protagonists of this story are members of social movements and organizations who carried out the struggles during the last years and keep on building viable alternatives to the crisis-ridden system on a daily basis. It also points out the structural reasons for the severe situation in Argentina after four years of explicit neoliberalism and examines the influence of the International Monetary Fund and the G20 in the region. At the same time, it talks about the hope for a better future, about alternatives generated by movements that act in the field of feminism, self-managed and cooperative economies as well as ecological and community-supported agriculture. The documentary is a collaboration between German and Argentine alternative media collectives which has its origin in the intense days of December 2018 when the G20 summit took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
