The American Library Association has released its list of Notable Videos for Adults — 15 “outstanding” films from the past two years. Included in the list is “Harvest of Empire,” based on the groundbreaking book of the same name by Democracy Now! co-host Juan González. In its announcement, the ALA described “Harvest of Empire” as “a comprehensive geopolitical picture of the economic and historical realities that have guided waves of Latin American migration to the U.S.”

Watch the Democracy Now! interview with Juan González and Eduardo López, co-director and producer of “Harvest of Empire.”

The Oscar-nominated documentary “Dirty Wars,” based on the book by investigative journalist and former Democracy Now! producer Jeremy Scahill, is also listed. The film follows Scahill to Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen as he chases down the hidden truths behind America’s expanding covert wars.

Watch our interview with Jeremy Scahill and “Dirty Wars” director Richard Rowley.

Other films recognized by the ALA include many that have been featured on Democracy Now! in the past few years, including: “The Act of Killing,” “The Internet’s Own Boy,” “After Tiller,” “Through a Lens Darkly,” “Five Broken Cameras,” “Mea Maxima Culpa” and “Who is Dayani Cristal?”

Watch our interview with Joshua Oppenheimer, director of “The Act of Killing.” The film is set in Indonesia, where, beginning in 1965, military and paramilitary forces slaughtered up to a million Indonesians after overthrowing the democratically elected government. Oppenheimer works with the Indonesian death squad leaders to re-enact the real-life killings in the style of American movies in which the men love to watch.

In 2014, we aired clips from the documentary, “The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz.” Watch the interview with Swartz’s father Robert, his brother Noah, his lawyer Elliot Peters, and filmmaker Brian Knappenberger.

Forty years after the landmark Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion, the documentary “After Tiller” follows the only doctors left in the United States who are known to provide abortions in the third trimester.
