People is a film shot behind closed doors in a workshop/house on the outskirts of Paris and features a dozen characters. It is based on an interweaving of scenes of moaning and sex. The house is the characters' common space, but the question of ownership is distended, they don't all inhabit it in the same way. As the sequences progress, we don't find the same characters but the same interdependent relationships. Through the alternation between lament and sexuality, physical and verbal communication are put on the same level. The film then deconstructs, through its repetitive structure, our relational myths.

Cassius Clay, der zur Sportlegende Muhammad Ali wurde, führte über viele Jahre hinweg Audio-Tagebücher, die äußerst intime Eindrücke ermöglichen. Die ungewöhnliche Lebensgeschichte des Boxers wird in "I Am Ali" außerdem anhand von Interviews mit engen Freunden, seiner Tochter, seines Bruders und seiner Ex-Frau nachgezeichnet. Zudem wurden ehemalige Top-Stars des Boxsports nach ihren Erinnerungen befragt, u. a. George Foreman, Mike Tyson und Gene Kilroy. Clare Lewins zeigt in ihrem Dokumentarfilm auch, wie Ali nach seinem letzten Boxkampf 1981 mehr und mehr unter der Krankheit Parkinson zu leiden hatte, die seine späteren Jahre überschattete. Es kommen die Widersprüche von Muhammad Ali zum Vorschein – des Mannes, der so vieles war: Kämpfer, Konkurrent, Held, Verräter, Liebhaber, Vater, Philosoph und Fanatiker.

Wasser bedeutet Leben. Doch nach neuesten Studien leiden mehr als 30% der Menschheit unter den Folgen der Wasserknappheit. Jeden Tag sterben 4000 Kinder weltweit an Krankheiten, die durch Wasserverschmutzung hervorgerufen werden. Durch die Privatisierung der natürlichen Wasserquellen durch internationale Großkonzerne wird diese Situation noch weiter verschärft. Darf Wasser zum Privileg der Reichen werden? Wer den Zugang zum Wasser kontrolliert, hat den Zugang zur Macht, schreibt die Süddeutsche Zeitung. Genau diese These unterstreicht die preisgekrönte Regisseurin Irena Salina in ihrem eindringlichen Film. Fünf Jahre lang haben sie ihre Reisen rund um den Globus geführt, um die Entwicklung und die Aus- wirkungen der "Wasserarmut" zu dokumentieren. Das Ergebnis ist ein alarmierender Weckruf, der den Blick auf den Umgang mit der wichtigsten Ressource des Menschen verändern wird.
