Beyond Standing Rock

Brian Malone

Taking viewers straight to the front lines of the Dakota Access Pipeline battle, Beyond Standing Rock is a one-hour documentary that captures multiple facets in its short run time. The filmmakers explore the conflict of against the Pipeline and the struggle for Native American rights against the backdrop of the new Trump administration. But the story is more than just the specific struggle to stop the movement of oil across tribal lands, it is also a story of the endless conflict between the U. S. government and the tribes, of a continued pattern of broken promises, and the impact of oil on the environment. With beautiful cinematography, insightful interviews and a willingness to confront all of the issues, Beyond Standing Rock is a startling look at one of the most pressing issues of the day.

Sam Schmidt

Sam Schmidt lived out his boyhood dream as an IndyCar racer, winning races and earning the title of IndyCar "Rookie of the Year" along the way. That dream came to an abrupt end when Sam crashed into a wall at 200 miles per hour, leaving him a quadriplegic. Reengineering SAM pulls the curtain back and shows up close the serious implications of a life of paralysis on Sam and everyone around him. Sam's accident rendered him physically helpless, never being able to brush his teeth, much less drive again, until a dedicated group of some of the brightest minds today stepped up to build him a car that he could drive, using only his head. Through groundbreaking adaptive technologies, Reengineering SAM chronicles Sam Schmidt's inspirational road back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and shows the promise of freedom and mobility for almost anyone confined to a wheelchair.
