They went to Iraq as cooks, clerks, and mechanics and returned a year later as part of America’s first generation of female combat veterans. Lioness, the provocative and powerful documentary from Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers, tells the story of five women who served together for a year in Iraq. Despite an official government policy that states that women are not supposed to participate in direct ground combat, the five women featured here most certainly did.

As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there even be any Social Security benefits left to collect?

Helvetica is a film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them. It is also a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.
