Silent Footsteps
In the year 2006 we would like to think that America is a relatively free and open society, released from racism, bigotry and jingoism. This docudrama follows the lives of two Ninjas trying to live the American dream. Some people, through ignorance or benign relativism, think that the Ninja don't deserve equal rights. That is for you to decide; all we want to do is stop the violence.

For more than 100 years at The University of Michigan, Michigamua has dedicated itself to "fight like hell for Michigan." However, while this student organization carries a deep love for the University, does the rest of the University love Michigamua?

Trust has been lost, lawsuits have been filed, and campus leaders have been alienated. It's time to find out why.
