America's New Female Right. by McVerry, Alana,film director.; BBC Studios (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by BBC Studios in 2024.In America, a new wave of young women are championing extreme views on social media, including content that is increasingly shocking and – surprisingly – antifeminist. Journalist Layla Wright travels from her home town in Liverpool to meet the young women at the forefront of a new movement on the political right who use highly inflammatory language. Immersing herself in a growing online community of influencers, podcasters and creators who see themselves as on the front line of a war against progressive politics, Layla seeks to find out what is driving women her own age to share extreme and often offensive content to their followers on social media. In Nashville, she spends time with 16-year-old Hannah, an ambitious rising star on the right. Homeschooled and brought up in a traditional patriarchal household led by her former pastor father, she is expected to be a wife and mother first. Layla also meets 24-year-old Morgonn in Arizona, a conservative influencer who has risen to prominence by posting content which is critical of feminism and the LGBTQ+ movement. Plus Layla travels to the US-Mexico border to meet Christie, who makes regular missions to confront migrants illegally crossing into the country and live-streams her findings to her followers. With the online realm having increasing influence in the real world, Layla attempts to understand why these women are promoting an ideology that is looking to roll back the clock on hard-earned rights.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Walter, Conor O'Neill ; music, Jeff Gibbs.Michael Moore.From Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Moore will once again go into uncharted territory. With both humor and outrage this explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Visit the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; go looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal - not to mention the 14,000 jobs being lost every day. A look into what a more hopeful future could look like.Canadian Home Video Rating: PG.DVD, widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital.
