A short documentary about human- trafficking in the U.S, including talking-head interviews with officials as well as court-room and sweatshop footage. Human trafficking tends to occur around international travel-hubs with large immigrant populations, notably California and Texas. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that 17,500 people are trafficked into the country every year, but the true figure could be higher, because of the large numbers of undocumented immigrants. Those being trafficked include young children, teenagers, men and women and can be domestic citizens or foreign nationals. According to the Department of State's statistics from 2000, there are approximately 244,000 American children and youth that are at risk for sex trafficking each year. Of these children and youth, 38,600 were originally runaways.

Leonard Schaeffer, Dept. of Health and Human Resources. Leonard Schaeffer 26:45 Medicare and Medicaid combined and the Health Care Financing Administration, we have a few other things as well.

And we are perceived as the epitome of a fat, self satisfied bureaucracy. Right 46 million beneficiaries. We are not simply buying one yellow pencil for every American, we're trying to do is serve the most vulnerable among our population, there is no way that I can talk to 46 million Americans, there's no way I should, we got to hand these tapes, because they represent all those people. If we didn't have the advanced technology we have now in this country, we couldn't provide those services. And those very vulnerable people would not get the kind of health care this country can't afford and is willing to give them.

DR EDITH BONE RELEASED FROM BUDAPEST AFTER 7 YEARS IN GAOL. <br/> <br/>London. <br/> <br/>CV. Hungarian born British woman Dr Edith Bone who is finally released from Hungarian gaol after 7 years, smiling and listening to reporter. GV. Interviewer and Dr Bone, looking at a newspaper. CV. Dr Bone. Natural sound begins: <br/> <br/>Interviewer: "Do you think the Russians will succeed in imposing their will on Hungary?" Dr Bone: "I don't think so. Of course, I don't think the Hungarians can resist by the force of arms, such immense superiority forces which the Russians possess. On the other hand, I don't believe that a government which is merely the agent of a foreign invader or a foreign conqueror can rule a country against the will of 98 per cent of its population." <br/>Interviewer: "After all the things you have seen, do you still believe communism can bring happiness to the human race?" <br/>Dr Bone: "Alas no! I have seen it bring advantages to a small section, but certainly not happiness to the vast majority of those whom Communism claims to service - the working population!" <br/> <br/>(Orig.Neg.)

Wide ranging exploration of the ideas of architect Paolo Soleri. With Paolo Soleri, architect, philosopher; Stewart Udall (former Secretary of Interior and head of an environmental consulting firm); Kenneth Gibson, Mayor of Newark, N.J.; Alvin Toffler, author ("Future Shock", etc.); scientist/future-thinker Arthur C. Clarke ("2001: A Space Odyssey", etc.); Moshe Safdie, architect ("Habitat"); Harold Francis and Tony Pearce (architecture students); Prof. John Gallahue (Columbia Univ., New York City.) An illustrated series of interviews about Paolo Soleri's ideas. Themes: architecture, the future of urban centers, the Earth's ability to sustain itself under the increasing load of human population, the interaction of art and utility, the future of ideas we take for granted,( such as progress and technology), and the changing nature of man himself. Stewart Udall is on-camera host and voice-over narrator. Soleri is seen in dialogue with a wide range of persons whose concerns and expertise intersect his own ideas. A great deal of film and photographs illustrate the themes discussed. Soleri, as architect, has actually built very little. In the Arizona desert his experimental community "Arcosanti" continues to grow and change, attracting students and volunteer workers from all over the world. His blueprints and models for "Arcologies" (city-sized structures accommodated to specific sites) have been shown at prestigious galleries and have influenced the thinking of a generation. The main theme discussed in this footage: cities are the man made landscape and are essential to the continuation of civilization; but new cities must evolve in response to a changing world; they must be integrated places, built up into three dimensions, not out endlessly across the landscape.. 1972.
