Waiting
to Inhale
Waiting to Inhale examines
the
current debate over legalizing medical marijuana in the United States.
What are the claims being made, and what are the stakes? Ten states
have passed legislation permitting medical marijuana, but opponents
claim that patients who advocate legalization are only smokescreens for
the legalization of marijuana altogether.
California and the American Dream
 California and the American Dream is a documentary series exploring the dynamics of culture, racial diversity and identity within California, the most multiethnic state in America. As America's cultural center slides westward and so-called minorities become majorities in state after state, life in the Golden State offers Americans a glimpse into the future. Beyond the Dream will take viewers on a journey through the state's diverse experience and the complex fabric of life in the twenty-first century.
Ishi, The Last Yahi
 (1994) The year 1911 was a low point in history for Native Americans. Contact with white men's diseases and violence had reduced their numbers from over 10 million to less than 300,000. In California, there were only 50,000 Indians alive. Most were living on reservations or had been assimilated into the general population.
Who Owns the Past ?
 (2001) The final decades of the twentieth century brought unprecedented changes for American Indians, especially in the areas of human rights and tribal sovereignty. In 1990, after a long struggle between Indian rights groups and the scientific establishment, the Native American Graves Repatriation and Protection Act was passed.
