Feature Stream: Kant: The Experiment of Freedom


  " Immanuel Kant was one of the key Enlightenment thinkers during his lifetime and is still one of the most influential figures in Western Philosophy today. Kant wanted to explain the word, but as the same time he was aware that he himself - like all human beings - only had limited capacity for understanding. He never left his native Konigsberg (Germany), learning all he knew about world affairs from books and observation of his environment and his own emotional life. He combined all this knowledge into a complex system of concepts, categories, and matrices to create his moral philosophy. Filmed for the 300th anniversary of his birth - in April 2024 - this program shows just how closely Kant was connected to his native town."

Feature Stream: Signing Black in America

 



" This is the first documentary about Black ASL: the unique dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) that developed within historically segregated African American Deaf communities. Black ASL today conveys an identity and sense of belonging that mirror spoken language varieties of the African American hearing community. The program highlights the different uses of space, hand use, directional movement, and facial expression, which are ways that Black ASL distinguishes itself as a vibrant dialect of ASL. The African American Deaf community is now embracing their unique variety as a symbol of solidarity and a viral part of their identity.
