Jean Kilbourne's pioneering work helped develop and popularize the study of gender representation in advertising. Her award-winning Killing us Softly films have influenced millions of college and high school students across two generations and on an international scale. In this important new film, Kilbourne reviews if and how the image of women in advertising has changed over the last 20 years. With wit and warmth, Kilbourne uses over 160 ads and TV commercials to critique advertising's image of women. By fostering creative and productive dialogue, she invites viewers to look at familiar images in a new way, that moves and empowers them to take action."

Créativité, imagination et humour pour faire face aux défis de demain. Le mouvement de la transition présenté par ses acteurs principaux. VO ENG sous-titres FR 'In Transition' is the first detailed film about the Transition movement filmed by those that know it best, those who are making it happen on the ground. The Transition movement is about communities around the world responding to peak oil and climate change with creativity, imagination and humour, and setting about rebuilding their local economies and communities. It is positive, solutions focused, viral and fun. In the film you'll see stories of communities creating their own local currencies, setting up their own pubs, planting trees, growing food, celebrating localness, caring, sharing. You'll see neighbours sharing their land with neighbours that have none, local authorities getting behind their local Transition initiatives, schoolchildren making news in 2030, and you'll get a sense of the scale of this emerging movement. It is a story of hope, and it is a call to action, and we think you will like it very much. It is also quite funny in places.

Public water and electricity are back in vogue! Yet many state-owned utilities are now undergoing "corporatization": they have legal autonomy and manage their own finances.

"L'esprit « hacker » « Beaucoup de gens pensent que les pirates sont des génies de l'informatique, des geeks qui vivent au sous-sol de la maison de leurs parents et qui créent des virus informatiques. Je ne le vois pas de cette façon. Les pirates sont des innovateurs. Les hackers sont des gens qui remettent en question et modifient les systèmes pour les faire fonctionner différemment, pour les rendre plus efficaces. C'est juste la façon dont ils pensent, c'est juste un état d'esprit. »"
