Variations sur un thème familierCarmen Garcia et Germán Gutiérrez 1994 57 minCe long métrage documentaire nous plonge dans le quotidien de sept familles d'aujourd'hui : du couple de lesbiennes aux parents sourds en passant par l'autochtone engagée; de la famille acadienne tricotée serrée à la mère monoparentale victime d'abus de toutes sortes; du prêtre étonnant qui s'entoure d'exclus à la joyeuse «tribu» mixte. Ce film démontre que peu importe sa composition, la famille demeure l'amarre fondamentale de l'être humain. -
L'effet boeufCarmen Garcia 1999 50 minDocumentaire dressant un portrait alarmant de l'industrie agroalimentaire. Trois géants américains ont la mainmise sur l’industrie en Amérique du Nord.

Beef Inc.Carmen Garcia 1999 50 minA struggle for control of the world food market is waging, and the battle promises to escalate in the 21st century. Beef Inc. examines how a handful of companies have come to dominate beef production and distribution in North America.
As traditional farming falls victim to agri-business, small producers and consumers are paying the price. What has been a way of life for generations is now solely a money-making venture for big business. In the beef industry, a strategy of "intense livestock production" has been implemented to boost profit margins. Cattle are housed and fattened in overcrowded feed lots, a situation which exposes them to disease. To combat this, the animals are systematically vaccinated, given antibiotics and pumped with growth hormones. No regard is given to the potential health risks to consumers or the quality of the end product.
This film gives a voice to the independent cattle producer who, unable to compete with the corporations, find themselves being squeezed out of the industry. In French with English subtitles. -
