A Force More Powerful is a 1999 feature-length documentary film and a 2000 PBS series written and directed by Steve York about non-violent resistance movements around the world. Executive producers were Dalton Delan and Jack DuVall. Peter Ackerman was the series editor and principal content advisor.

Institutional support for the film included funding from the United States Institute of Peace and the Albert Einstein Institution.

The film played in festivals worldwide and was broadcast nationally on United States television network PBS in September 2000. It was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Historical Program.

The series explores 6 successful nonviolent movements in the 20th century starting with Gandhi's leadership of the Indian Independence movement, the U.S. civil rights movement, the boycotts in the Eastern Cape Province as part of the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa, the Danish resistance to Nazi Occupation, the Polish Solidarity Movement, and the Chilean democracy movement to oust Augusto Pinochet.

A Force More Powerful is also the name of the companion book to the PBS series, authored by DuVall and Peter Ackerman,. The book was published with Palgrave Macmillan and has been recognized as an important resource for peace education.

In 2006, the team behind the film, TV series and book released a nonviolent video game developed by Breakaway Games with the same title. The video game was designed to teach the waging of conflict using nonviolent methods. Ivan Marović, one of the leaders of the Serbian student movement called Otpor!, was one of the designers. A turn-based strategy game, it consists of ten pre-built scenarios and an editing system that will allow players to create scenarios of their own.

Trevor Slattery, having been captured at the end of Iron Man 3, is now being held in Seagate Prison. At the prison he is living luxuriously, with his own personal "butler" Herman, and other inmates acting as his fan club and protection. Slattery is interviewed by documentary filmmaker Jackson Norriss, who wishes to chronicle the events of the Mandarin situation seen in Iron Man 3. Norriss, trying to learn more about Slattery personally, recounts his past from his first casting as a child as well as his starring in a failed CBS pilot. Norriss eventually informs Slattery that his portrayal has angered some people, including the actual Ten Rings terrorist group, which Slattery did not know existed. Norriss tells him the history of the Mandarin and the terrorist group, before revealing that he is actually a member of the group. The real reason for Norriss interviewing Slattery is to break him out of prison so he can meet the actual Mandarin. Hearing this, Slattery still has no idea of the full ramifications of his posing as the Mandarin.

Depuis plus de vingt ans, le rap n'a cessé de prendre de l'ampleur : cette musique dont le grand public découvrit l'existence dès 1979 avec le tube de Sugarhill Gang Rappers' delight est devenu un genre majeur, infiltrant peu à peu les hit parades du monde entier et les habitudes vestimentaires de la jeune génération. Cependant, dans l'ombre des rappers occupant le devant de la scène musicale se trouvent les DJs. Ce documentaire, ponctué d'interviews d'Afrika Bambaataa et de GrandMixer DXT, retrace l'histoire de ces artistes, des années 70 à nos jours, et en particulier des experts du scratch, indissociable du phénomène hip-hop.

In 1914, Shackleton set out to walk across the whole of Antarctica. While the South Pole had already been discovered, people had yet to make the cross-continent trek on foot. Before making landfall, however, his ship became trapped in the ice-flow of the Weddell Sea where he and his crew stayed for over 400 days.
