In Traces of the Trade first-time filmmaker Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery… her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in US history. She and nine fellow descendants set off to retrace the Trangle Trade: from their old hometown in Rhode Island to slave forts in Ghana to sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in slavery while also stretching and stumbling their way through the minefield of contemparary race relations. The film is intended as a catalyst for dialogue, education and action through screening in communities and classrooms. Includes 56 min abridged version, 'Repairing the Breach: The Episcopal Church and Slavery Atonement' (31 minutes)

Constantine's Sword was orignally published as a book and subsequently made into a documentary in which the novelist and cultural critic James Carroll maps the two-thousand-year course of the Church’s battle against Judaism and faces the crisis of faith it has sparked in his own life as a Catholic. “Fascinating, brave and sometimes infuriating” (Time), this dark history is more than a chronicle of religion. It is the central tragedy of Western civilization, its fault lines reaching deep into our culture. The book is comprehensive, spanning the history of European anti-semitism. The DVD version takes viewers on a journey to locations in the US & in Europe significant to the author for tying the threads of this history into a coherent whole. You will meet along the way many people who inform the often challenging relationship of Christian (Catholic & Evangelical) and Jewish relations.
