- In this fantastical film, a young girl conjures its story from the lines of a chalk circle. Once upon a time, in 1915, a German saboteur arrived to Manhattan to interrupt the export of American munitions to Britain. He soon found a collaborator in a wayward stevedore who unwittingly led him to a group of labor anarchists. Sabotage soon turned these bedfellows into agents of the other's tragic end. How America entered World War 1 playfully plays out through archival images and the theatrical rendition of lives as they might have been lived.
- Through interviews with a broad spectrum of Lower East residents, this documentary commissioned by Two Bridges Neighborhood Council explores the impact of gentrification on their lives. As real estate prices have increased, many long-term residents have been displaced and a number of well-known family businesses have shut their doors. Landlords have used both legal and illegal means to evict residential and commercial tenants. Meanwhile, conditions have improved in the community. Crime is down and city services have improved. The filmmakers interviewed long-term residents and new arrivals, people on all sides of the complex and controversial issue of gentrification. The film is intended to spark a dialogue - and eventually a campaign - to preserve the diversity, vitality, and unique culture of the Lower East Side.

- On March 25, 1911, New York City's Triangle Shirtwaist Factory burst into flames, and 146 workers - nearly all young women, many of them teenage immigrants - perished. We visit the building and learn how public outcry inspired workplace safety laws that revolutionized industrial work nationwide. Descendants and activists show us how that work reverberates today.
- New York, 1882. Georg Schmidt, a young German newly arrived in the United States, leaves behind him a Reich led by the iron fist of Chancellor Bismarck. He crossed the Atlantic with dreams of social ascension, like many of his fellow citizens. He was able to become a lawyer in three years, and now finds himself at the heart of an important trial involving gangs. His fiancée, who joined him after months of separation, has just arrived in this metropolis that has almost as many Germans as Berlin or Vienna. Arrested at the port after her luggage was found to contain stolen goods, she ended up in prison. The young lawyer then turns to the New York bandits, the only ones able to help him prove his beloved's innocence.
