An exclusive clip of "Iraq for Sale," starring a Salon reporter.
Robert Greenwald has our enduring admiration for his low-budget, high-impact documentaries on some of the nation’s most-obsessed-over subjects, including Wal-Mart (“Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices”) and Fox News (“Outfoxed”).

My Back Garden
A home movie about an excellent backyard adventure.
The inimitable Lee Kern, director of “The Nyuggle,” returns with a charming home movie about his dog’s mission to discover the long-buried contents hidden in a typical British backyard.
Kern will attend a very special show featuring many of his works Friday night at Rooftop Films’ “Twinklebum” show in Williamsburg.
Pursesnatcher
A filmmaker goes on the chase after a robbery, looking for some answers.
Jonny Kaye catches up with a fleeing robber with his one-chip camera, and captures a brief glimpse into the mind of a not terribly successful, but hungry, man of the street.
“Pursesnatcher” is playing in Rooftop Films Best of New York Non-Fiction on Sat. August 26, on the roof of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
