Ethiopia is constructing a $4.8 billion dam along the Nile River that has Egypt angry. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, or GERD, will have a capacity of 6.45 GW, doubling the country’s power capacity. It will provide electricity to 60% of Ethiopian households and create a massive reservoir for tourism and the fishing industry. However, the project poses a threat to Egypt, who relies heavily on the Nile River. This has led to tensions between the nations and a political battle over the river.

Also known as the ‘Uranium Capital of Africa’, Niger is the world’s fourth-largest producer of uranium ore, it provides 7.5 percent of the world's mining output, from Africa's highest-grade uranium ores, according to the World Nuclear Association. But as the usual narrative goes, uranium represents around 80 percent of the country’s exports but contributes only 5 percent to the national GDP.
Uranium is arguably the most strategic commodity for France and since its discovery in Niger a major chunk of the ore has been exclusively exported to France for over 50 years by Areva, the massive state-owned nuclear power company of France.
While Niger’s uranium lights the Eiffel Tower including one-third of households in France, add to that propping up France's nuclear superpower status, the people of Arlit and Akonan, popularly known as the twin mining towns in Niger – the real owners of this valuable wealth - are living in squalor.
When France began mining uranium ore in the deserts of northern Niger in the early 1970s they promised to build a ‘Little Paris’, in the country. However, the mining towns remain dusty and neglected, scoured by desert sandstorms and barely touched by the mineral wealth it ships off to Europe each year.

THE CIA: ON COMPANY BUSINESS
We once again examine that dark, vicious world of the CIA -- the use of U.S.
labor organizations, the overthrow of legitimate governments, providing arms
to favored groups, covert use of the American mass media, U.S. torture
schools and CIA torture supervisors abroad -- all resulting in great human
suffering and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and in the
maintenance of repressive regimes. Sections of the meticulously documented,
award-winning film _On Company Business_ are interspersed with the comments
of ex-CIA officer John Stockwell, and Molly Dougherty who worked on the
film. John also comments about the pending legal action against him by the
CIA, and a fundraiser for his legal defense fund, to be held at the
University of Texas.

Invisible History sheds light on the invisible history of plantations and the enslaved in North Florida. Using visually compelling imagery it explores the history of a people who contributed so much to what the region is today. While this project focuses on northern Florida, it is a microcosm of the idea of how slavery shaped all of America. The project benefited from the expertise of faculty from Florida State University and Florida A&M University, as well as the support of local museums and archival resources. The documentary represents a true coming together of community to support the telling of our shared history.
