Through a clever mix of stop-motion animation and interviews, “The Wanted 18” recreates an astonishing true story: the Israeli army’s pursuit of 18 cows, whose independent milk production on a Palestinian collective farm was declared “a threat to the national security of the state of Israel.” Consequently, the dairy is forced to go underground; the cows continue to produce their “intifada milk” with the Israeli army in relentless pursuit.

• How have corporations gained constitutional rights? Through unelected Courts without a democratic process.
