Sergio Vieira de Mello. He was the go-to guy, a cross between James Bond and Bobby Kennedy. The man who could descend into the most dangerous places, charm the worst war criminals, and somehow protect the lives of the ordinary people to whom he'd devoted his life. And then came the call: another crisis and Sergio was the only man for the job. Sergio is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Samantha Power's groundbreaking biography, Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World. Sergio is on the "short list" for this year's Best Documentary competition in the Academy Awards! WARNING-DISTURBING IMAGES

Prayers for Peace is a narrative stop-motion animation confronting the memory of the artist's younger brother, who was killed in the current conflict in Iraq. Drawn using pastels on a slate chalkboard, the entire film is shot in two continuous scenes, with the current image drawn directly on top of the previous, leaving the memory of the previous drawings to continue into the present. Much of the footage was borrowed directly from images taken off of the soldier's laptop, that was returned to the family. Also taken from the laptop was an audio file recorded in the active combat area of Najaf, where the young man expresses his feelings about the experience.
