United by a monk, a group of underdogs work together to become king fu soccer stars. Slapstick training, superhero-high flying, Bollywood-style dance scene and cartoon-level comedic violence, this absurdist sports movie is ridiculous fun. (dir. Stephen Chow, China, 2001, 99 min.)

Fred Isseks in person! (Along with some of his former student activists) A high school A/V assignment goes full-on activist when English teacher Fred Isseks sends students, armed with video recorders, on an investigative assignment to suss out the brown muck surfacing at the local dump in their upstate New York town. The toxicity they discover lives not only in the landfill, but in political corruption and environmental injustice in their community. Archival footage of their 1996 class project, “Garbage, Gangsters, and Greed,” outtakes, diaries, and interviews with Fred and several students 30 years later weave a sobering yet buoyant story both timely and for the ages, about fighting the good fight as its own life-changing triumph.
