    [title] => Unlocked aka Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution
    [text] => The vivid and deeply personal stories at the heart of "Unlocked" have not been heard before. Because of the power and diversity of these stories, we believe Unlocked has the authenticity and breadth of vision to inspire the deep shift in values and attitudes needed to realize a healthcare system rooted in principles of recovery.

Accounts are shared from very different perspectives. Former patients, people of lived experience, peers, family members, direct care staff, clinicians, administrators, inmates, law enforcement, and corrections personnel share markedly different realities. Seen together, these varied points of view provide an overview that supports better understanding and open dialogue. Even the most painful stories offer hope.  

Since the release of "Kings Park" in 2012, we have seen over and over the power of putting a human face on the story of public mental healthcare. The response to our screenings nationwide has been overwhelmingly positive and equally passionate in colleges, hospitals, peer organizations, national conferences, jails, provider settings, and advocacy groups. 

With the help of a generous grant from The Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care we have completed a project prototype consisting of:  

•	A sample 2-part Video Curriculum which includes including featured videos of personal stories, topic essays and other teaching resources;
•	A sample Video Library of viewable and searchable clips of uncut documentary scenes and interviews; 
•	Streaming access to the documentary "Kings Park: Stories from an American Mental Institution."

We are now seeking funds to complete the digital learning site.
    [logline] => "Unlocked" is a groundbreaking digital learning site created for people going into healthcare and professionals already working in the field. Building on the success of the "Kings Park" documentary, "Unlocked" features a wealth of personal stories with individuals who have experienced the U.S. mental healthcare system firsthand.

    [title] => I Brought You Into This World
    [text] => In the wake of escalating attacks on reproductive rights and the ongoing U.S. maternal health crisis, "I Brought You Into This World" offers a timely and powerful exploration of Black women's diverse pregnancy experiences across America. This character-driven documentary follows the journeys of three women, each navigating unique but interconnected challenges as they seek survival, dignity, and autonomy over their bodies.

In New York City, one woman, pregnant after years of infertility and medical trauma, finds solace in her own agency and access to lifesaving healthcare—a privilege she has learned to never take for granted. Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Missouri, another woman, already a mother, bears the heavy grief of losing her brother, Mike Brown, whose death ignited the global Black Lives Matter movement. Pregnant again, she faces intergenerational trauma and domestic violence, all while contending with a state where miscarrying could endanger her safety. In the American South, a mother of two confronts the devastating consequences of restricted reproductive rights as they embark on a dangerous journey across state lines, denied an abortion in their home state.

"I Brought You Into This World" goes beyond surface-level narratives to reveal the complexities of Black pregnancy, neither casting judgment nor moralizing any choice. Instead, it highlights the resilience of these mothers as they fight for agency and navigate a system stacked against them. The film is a compelling call to action, celebrating the power and diversity of Black motherhood while laying bare the urgent need for reproductive justice.

By supporting this film, you will be helping to amplify the voices of those whose stories are often unheard. "I Brought You Into This World" is more than a documentary—it’s a labor of labor to ensure that Black pregnant people’s experiences are seen, heard, and protected in a post-Roe America.
    [logline] => "I Brought You Into This World" is an intimate, character-driven documentary following three pregnant Black individuals of varying gender identities as they navigate pregnancy in a post-Roe America. The film exposes the profound impact of political and social conditions on maternal healthcare, revealing deep racial and gender disparities.

    [title] => Call Me Dancer
    [text] => Manish grew up in the crowded chaos of Mumbai, known in India as the city of dreams. He is athletic, handsome, a dutiful son, and he fantasizes about living the life of a military or Bollywood action hero. He has no desire to go to the business school that his overworked father has saved for day and night. Manish astounds audiences as a self-taught break-dancer, but a passion is born when he discovers classical ballet at an inner-city dance school. He comes under the tutelage of Yehuda, an aging ballet master who recently arrived in Mumbai. He devotes himself to an art form that is virtually unknown in India and struggles to prove to his family that he can beat the odds and make it as a world-class professional dancer.

Call Me Dancer is a story of hope, heartache and hard work. Manish and Yehuda search to uncover who and what they are. Yehuda seeks a purpose and a place to call home. Manish dreams of dancing on the world-stage but struggles to break free from the confines of his own economic and social circumstances.

In the process, they change each other’s lives.
    [logline] => When a hip-hop dancer accidentally walks into a ballet class in Mumbai, his world opens up and a passion is born. The tough ballet master recognizes his talent and dares him to fulfill his dreams of dancing professionally - giving him the courage to defy family, culture and poverty.

    [title] => ithaka
    [text] => Filmed over two years across the UK, Europe and the US, this documentary follows 76 year-old retired builder, John Shipton’s tireless campaign to save his son, Julian Assange.

The world’s most famous political prisoner, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has become an emblem of an international arm wrestle over freedom of journalism, government corruption and unpunished war crimes.

Now with Julian facing a 175 year sentence if extradited to the US, his family members are confronting the prospect of losing Julian forever to the abyss of the US justice system.

This David-and-Goliath struggle is personal – and, with Julian’s health declining in a British maximum-security prison and American government prosecutors attempting to extradite him to face trial in the US , the clock is ticking.

Weaving historic archive and intimate behind-the-scenes footage, this story tracks John’s journey alongside Julian’s fiancee, Stella Moris as they join forces to advocate for Julian. We witness John embark on a European odyssey to rally a global network of supporters, advocate to politicians and cautiously step into the media’s glare - where he is forced to confront events that made Julian a global flashpoint.

Ithaka provides a timely reminder of the global issues at stake in this case, as well as an insight into the personal toll inflicted by the arduous, often lonely task of fighting for a cause bigger than oneself.
    [logline] => This film is a project of Documentary Australia and is sponsored by Women Make Movies as part of our ongoing partnership in support of independent filmmakers.

The campaign to free Julian Assange takes on intimate dimensions in this documentary portrait of an father's fight to save his son.

    [title] => Eat Bitter
    [text] => Thomas, a young local, who survived different armed conflicts, risks his life every day to bring sand to the water’s surface; sand that is used to build a new bank in the country. Thomas barely earns enough money to feed his children. His wife and girlfriend, tired of his immaturity, leave him for good; the city bulldozes the illegal sand market where he works clandestinely; a national curfew is declared by the authorities with rebels attempting to invade the capital during elections. He hits a new low. However, when Thomas discovers that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant, it is a shock. It propels him to turn his life around. Thomas wants to become a boss directly selling the sand he collects to Luan. Is shifting his whole life around already too late?

Suffering in silence for a better future: This is also Luan's choice. He left his family to triple his salary in Bangui three years ago. The bank is Luan’s first project he supervises at his newly joined company, but the work is delayed due to the rainy season, political instability, and labor shortage owing to the pandemic. By sheer force of will and persistence, Luan gets back on track to finish the bank on time. Meanwhile, in China, Luan’s family is falling apart as his wife, who he hasn’t seen for two years, attempts to commit suicide. Luan starts to wonder: Is saving his wife and family a bigger priority than making money? Where is his future?
    [logline] => Against the backdrop of civil war in the poverty-stricken Central African Republic, a Chinese construction manager and a local African laborer work on opposite ends of the spectrum to construct a sparkling new bank. As deadlines loom, unexpected twists threaten their jobs, relationships, and plans for a better life.

    [title] => The Other Gaza
    [text] => Film director Wafa Jamil lives in Stockholm, but her family lives in Gaza. She longs for this conflict-ridden world where she was raised. She longs for the laughter and the tears and the unbridled creativity that shapes a meaningful life in the middle of this hell on earth. And she wants to give her child Leia the language, the culture, the music, the food and the love that Palestine represents for her. 

THE OTHER GAZA is an autobiographical, intimate and family-focused story that ponders the dilemma of constantly yearning for a place where one can no longer live.

    [logline] => Gaza is a war zone. But it’s also the birthplace of Wafa Jamil, and the home of her family. The Other Gaza shows how daily life in Gaza really is, with sorrow and joy existing side-by side. For the audience to understand, as well as her young daughter Leia.

    [title] => Disruption
    [text] => Disruption follows three unlikely allies—Charley, a British artist-activist; Nidhi, a pragmatic board game designer; and Amarjit, a queer farmer in Punjab—whose mission to create a board game about survival turns into a stark confrontation with reality.

Charley’s game, Disruption: Battle for the Future of Food, pits farmers against corporations but lacks the urgency of real struggle. Seeking authenticity, Charley travels to India to collaborate with Nidhi. There, they meet Amarjit, whose life reflects the game’s stakes: her father died from pesticide poisoning, yet she must still use chemicals to keep her crops alive. Without her land, marriage is her only security.

As Charley and Amarjit grow close, the project falters, frustrating Nidhi. When she translates Amarjit’s reality into the game, a harsh truth emerges—the farmer always loses. The game finally works, but at what cost? Charley is horrified: was Disruption meant to inspire resistance or confirm defeat?

Meanwhile, Amarjit’s struggles intensify—debt, failing crops, family pressure. A Canadian visa could offer escape, but only if she exploits her land for profit. Charley and Amarjit’s struggles mirror each other—both trapped, both yearning for freedom.

When the final game plays out, Amarjit must choose: fight for her land or play to win?
    [logline] => A British artist-activist, a game designer, and a queer farmer in India create a survival game, only to face the brutal realities of climate change, corporate greed, and identity. As life imitates play, winning demands sacrifices they never anticipated.

    [title] => Blind AF
    [text] => While working as a paramedic in 2009, Shawn Cheshire, a 36-year-old Army veteran and single mother of two, suffered a brain injury that left her completely without sight. Spiraling into a debilitating suicidal depression, Shawn sought treatment at a VA hospital where, through a combination of adaptive sports and treatment for Complex PTSD, she chose to rebuild her life while facing painful memories of the past for the first time. Within three years Shawn was competing at the 2016 Paralympic games in Rio and goes on to become a 13-time paracycling US National Champion, as well as world-record holder of the Grand Canyon crossing by a blind person. 

Driven as much by the determination to live independently as by the restlessness and vulnerability borne of trauma, in 2021 Shawn embarks on an historic and perilous adventure of riding a single bike across the United States. As Shawn pedals east, her history and rich, introspective emotional life are revealed through the film’s use of animation, excerpts from her journal entries, interviews, therapy sessions and archival footage. Together, these elements give depth and texture to Shawn’s long road to healing and place the traumatic brain injury she endured in the context of a lifetime of pain and loss. 

Blending poetic cinematography and intimate verité with immersive POV animation and sound design that brings the viewer inside her world, Blind AF is at once a thrilling epic of athletic achievement and a transformative portrait of emotional resilience and bravery.  
    [logline] => A blind female Paralympic champion and world-record holder sets out to become the first blind person to ride a single, non-tandem, bike across the US, while confronting painful truths about her past that she’s spent a lifetime trying to outrun.  Blind AF is about trauma, transcendence and power of self-belief.

    [title] => Sitting Still
    [text] => While you may not know his name, chances are high you know his work. Laurie Olin is responsible for many of the most iconic and beloved parks, gardens and public spaces in the country, including the Getty Center gardens, Battery Park City, Columbus Circle, the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, the Washington Monument grounds, Bryant Park, Mission Bay, and Independence Mall to name a few. But his imprint on cityscapes extends all over the globe. 

Olin’s motivation has always come from the social aspects of urban design, working passionately to keep cities viable for all citizens with a special focus on the economically marginalized. Over the course of a career spanning fifty years, Olin has aspired to create a level playing field—a more democratic, egalitarian society through shared public spaces. 

Given the disproportionate growth of the world’s largest metropolises with more people than ever before being born, living and dying in cities, Olin and his collaborators like Frank Gehry, urge us to take a closer look at the health and survival of our cities. They reveal how our sense of place is either degraded diminished through overbuilding and neglect, or enhanced through purposeful design and social encounter.  

Olin's life story will become a launching pad for the exploration of themes and ideas about the world in which we live: the overwhelming disconnect with nature, the effects of population explosion, the failed promise of the suburbs, the global water and climate crisis, and building economically-driven environments instead of human ones. 

    [logline] => Artist, scholar, architect, landscape architect, professor, author, urban visionary, and unparalleled designer of cities, Laurie Olin is a true Renaissance man who, along with  world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, takes us on a visual,  eye-opening journey through natural and built environments, revealing the connective tissue for creating healthy and humane societies.

    [title] => Hope of Escape
    [text] => In a film studio, world-weary filmmaker Amy Gerber sets up an interview with her third-great grandmother Diana hoping to find inspiration from her ancestor’s experiences. Diana’s memories flow as she begins to narrate her story and recounts a painful moment of separation from her two other siblings as children. Offspring of their slave master, her sisters are sent to be educated in the North as free black girls. 

Unfortunately, Diana has a different father and she is left behind to live the life of a slave with her mother but has the slave master’s promise that she will be freed upon his death. Diana soldiers on, knowing that she and her daughter Cornelia will eventually live in freedom--that someday she will be reunited with her sisters.

The slave master dies, but his surviving kin have other plans for Diana and Cornelia and put out a warrant for their capture. Diana must use all of her resources to avoid the sorrow her mother suffered and keep her promise to Cornelia: that they will not be separated. 

Hope of Escape takes the audience through a new chapter of antebellum slavery that depicts the “above-ground railroad” or the raising of money to free enslaved loved ones. A star-studded “cast” of historic characters include abolitionist Julia Williams; famous orator Henry Highland Garnet, and renowned abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Lewis Tappan. Now a rescue effort that involves hundreds of people, the countdown begins for Diana and Cornelia’s escape.
    [logline] => A true story that follows the incredible journey of an enslaved mother and daughter who must escape before they are sold and separated forever. Their only hope is to connect with their free relatives in the North and convince the most powerful abolitionists of their time to help them.

    [title] => The Boy and the Suit of Lights
    [text] => Borja's eyes scan the floor with intense concentration,  his left hand clutching the cape that follows their gaze. His right hand grips a thin sword. As he looks up into the stands, his mother Raquel stares back. Raquel single-handedly raised him and his younger brother, Erik, and Borja feels a great responsibility on his shoulders to take them out of poverty.  Borja lives in a small coastal town in Spain where opportunities are limited. After school, he spends hours honing his bullfighting skills in the local School of  Bullfighting, funded by public money.  At  12,  Borja is by far the youngest in the group.  The teacher organizes a mock bullfight with calves. The atmosphere is electric. Borja notices his classmates wear better costumes - shiny silver-buttoned jackets, known as a suit of lights. He looks down in embarrassment at the plastic buttons sewn onto his own jacket. In the middle of the mock fight, animal rights activists burst into the ring. The audience yells and boos.  Eventually,  the activists are taken away.  Activists are campaigning hard to put an end to public money being used to support bullfighting and bull rearing. Could we be witnessing the last generation of bullfighters in Spain?  Expenses are piling up - Borja knows his family are making a huge effort to support him and now is the time to "man up" and really fight for the dream. He understands there is no going back.  Will he become a torero? 
    [logline] => Hoping to rescue his family from poverty, young Borja is torn between tradition, controversy, and identity as he aspires to fulfill his family's dream of becoming a bullfighter.

    [title] => The Gas Station Attendant
    [text] => This documentary film tells the story of a man who we all have come across in our daily lives, the South Asian gas station attendant. 

Shantha Murthy, the filmmaker’s father ran away from home as a young boy to escape the extreme poverty in his village in India.  He travelled all over the country, hiding on trains, looking for work. He sometimes went for weeks without food, and slept in boxes on the streets.  But even in his darkest times, he always believed that somehow, his life would change.   He wanted to have a family of his own, hold his wife’s hand with his children and walk through the beautiful gardens in Bangalore. “That was my dream.”

A chance encounter with an American couple he waited on at a hotel would give him that new life.  But life in the States would not be the perfect dream come true, as he constantly struggled with money and a family tragedy. 

Using home movies, found footage along with intimately recorded telephone conversations, director Karla Murthy poetically reveals her father’s story, a life shaped by extreme hardship, kindness and love, and the tireless pursuit of his dreams. 

    [logline] => Telephone conversations the filmmaker recorded with her father while he worked nights at a gas station reveal a remarkable journey, from living on the streets of India to a chance encounter that would bring him to the United States.

    [text] => the bomb is a critically acclaimed immersive film, music, and art installation that puts viewers in the center of the story of nuclear weapons. It explores their immense power, their perverse allure, and the profound death wish at the very heart of them. 

Combining archival footage, animation, music, and text, the bomb offers a visceral, non-linear, and unsettling experience, taking audiences inside the complex cultural and technological realm of nuclear weapons.

Live performances of the bomb were staged at the Tribeca Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival, the Glastonbury Festival, the Sydney Festival, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremonies.

The film at the heart of the bomb made its streaming debut on Netflix and can now be found on Amazon, Apple TV, Tubi, Roku, and other platforms.

In the Fall of 2024, a museum-version of the bomb begins a nationwide tour of university campuses.

    [title] => Cancer: A Love Story (Working Title)
    [text] => Just so you know, this documentary will have lots of vaginas. Not just mine, all different kinds.

This series is my attempt to show the world the way I think, what I see, how I construct my reality. My reality includes cancer and rape. I’m not alone: 1 in 6 women have been the victim of rape or attempted rape, and 1 in 8 women have or will be diagnosed with cancer. This is my story, told through my female gaze, the lens of my experiences: the teacher who sent me 100 letters in 8th grade, the rape I experienced at 15, the silencing that followed, another assault by a boyfriend, the way these events reverberated throughout my life and affected my sense of self, my sexuality, my art, my friendships, and my kids.

I hope it is proof that our darkest moments are the most illuminating. And I hope it shows that humans will do almost anything to heal themselves.

It's a love story--of what it truly takes to accept myself and love others in a world that treats women like shit.
    [logline] => Cancer: A Love Story is an autobiographical documentary about my battle with cancer, confronting sexual assault, and the crazy things I did to heal myself. It’s a survival story, but also a story of mothers and daughters, and the intimacies of women’s bodies.

    [text] => What does it mean to be a survivor? Generations of children have been left with this question in the wake of abuse suffered at the hands of the Troubled Teen Industry, an unregulated network of for-profit institutions claiming to fix wayward teenagers. Decades later, they are fighting back. Filmed over the course of nine years, The Kids Are Not Alright is an intimate portrait of trauma following three families’ journeys as they work to shed light on the devastating impacts of institutional abuse, pursue healing in the absence of justice, and fight to hold abusers accountable.

    [title] => Rocky Flats
    [text] => ROCKY FLATS is a feature documentary about an under-the-radar yet crucial environmental story - of the massive amount of nuclear waste left in the American landscape by the Cold War. The film follows events now unfolding in Colorado, where a contentious fight has erupted over the fate of the lands around the former Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Facility. Late in 2018, the federal government opened Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, 6,500 acres that once surrounded the most notoriously mismanaged nuclear weapons plant in U.S. history. The government claims that the lands are free of plutonium contamination, but a growing coalition of scientists, citizens, environmental groups, and physicians are vehemently disagreeing. They know that for decades, Rocky Flats leaked radioactive plutonium into the air, soil, and water of surrounding areas - long suspected to be the cause of the high rates of cancer in these communities. While a 1989 FBI raid closed down the plant forever, citizens of Colorado are still fighting to unearth the truth about Rocky Flats - including the lasting impacts it has had on their lands and towns. ROCKY FLATS follows five characters who are leading this fight, and by the end of the year, their efforts will open a Pandora's Box the federal government hoped had closed long ago. ROCKY FLATS is the story of one of the most decisive years in the recent history of our nuclear weapons program, in the process shedding crucial light on one of the most pressing environmental stories of our time.
    [logline] => What happens when a massive nuclear weapons plant closes down in your neighborhood? ROCKY FLATS is the story of one community's fight in Colorado to uncover the truth about the toxic legacy of the Cold War in their backyards.
