Anna Karenina"...Knightley embodies Anna as a girlish woman who has never felt erotic love; once smitten, she is raised to heavenly ecstasy before tumbling into the abyss of shame. It’s a nervy performance, acutely attuned to the volcanic changes a naive creature must enjoy and endure on her first leap into mad passion. She helps make Anna Karenina an operatic romance worth singing about." (Richard Corliss, Time) 4 Academy Award Nominations, including Costume Design, Cinematography, and Music. Tom Stoppard's adaptation of the classic Leo Tolstoy novel of love and tragedy is "intelligently ecstatic" (Time). Directed by Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement), Anna Karenina marks the third time the acclaimed director has worked with Keira Knightley, whose performance in the title role is already generating Oscar buzz.

Invoking Justice“Global Watch: Crisis, Culture and Human Rights 2012” "I want to ask why there is one justice for men and another for women." (Akhtar Beevi, member of the Tamil Nadu Women's Jamaat) In South India, justice is meted out by jamaats, all-male councils that rule on family crimes- even spousal abuse and murder- via Islamic sharia law. In the face of their draconian decisions, a group of women establish their own jamaat- a brave effort that takes hold and spreads across the region. Danraj's intimate, deeply touching film follows several cases while exploring how the tenacious and compassionate women’s jamaats (which have settled 10,000 cases so far) have changed the face of justice in their homeland. Q&A Nov. 18, 7:00: filmmaker Deepa Danraj via Skype from India, with Senior Programmer Christopher Funderburg

Seeking help, she signs up with an innovative health program working to break the chain of transmission between “carriers” and their babies.
