Cinema of Unease: A Personal Journey by Sam Neill is a documentary about the history of New Zealand cinema written by Sam Neill and co-directed by Neill and Judy Rymer.
 The film was released in 1995, and was New Zealand's contribution to the British Film Institute's "Century of Cinema" series.
 The title refers to the dark and brooding nature of many of New Zealand's most notable films, which Neill considers a reflection of the nation's struggle to find, or form, its own identity.
 The film screened in the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, and won Best Documentary in the 1996 "TV Guide" Film and Television Awards of New Zealand.
Holy Water-Gate: Abuse Cover-up in the Catholic Church is a 2004 documentary which investigates the crisis that emerged within the Roman Catholic Church, as victims of child sex abuse by priests fight to bring their abusers to justice.
 The film begins as a personal journey of filmmaker Mary Healey, who is also Catholic.
 Through key players in the scandal, including victims, whistle-blower priests and a senior ranking U.S. Cardinal who is called upon by the Vatican to control an ever-growing storm, "Holy Water-Gate" brings the viewer deep within the institutional mind of the U.S. Catholic Church: a powerful establishment that not only failed the victims for many years by not acknowledging their abuse, but also enabled some priests to continue to abuse more children by relocating them in other parishes.
 This intensely personal and political story investigates the crisis and exposes the reluctance within the U.S. mainstream media for decades to report sexual abuse crimes against children by priests.
I Am is a 2010 American documentary film written, directed, and narrated by Tom Shadyac.

, and explores Shadyac's personal journey after a bicycle accident in 2007 that led him to the answers "the nature of humanity", "the world's ever-growing addiction to materialism", and "human connections" Shot with Shadyac and a team of four, the film contrasts sharply with the director's notable comedic works.

 It was proposed in a 1992 lecture at the American Enterprise Institute, which was then developed in a 1993 "Foreign Affairs" article titled "The Clash of Civilizations?"
, in response to his former student Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book, "The End of History and the Last Man".
 Huntington later expanded his thesis in a 1996 book "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order".
