2021Red Dot on the Ocean: The Matt Rutherford Story
Amy Flannery
Red Dot on the Ocean is the story of Matt Rutherford, a severely troubled youth, who became a sailing legend. Departing Annapolis, MD in a scrappy old 27-foot fiberglass sloop without fanfare, 30-year-old Rutherford braved the icebergs of the arctic and mountainous waves of Cape Horn to become the only person to ever sail single-handed, non-stop around the Americas; a 27,000 mile journey many professional sailors declared "a suicide mission."

Tubabs In Africa
Mary Flannery, Michael Ford
"Tubabs" is a nickname for foreigners, especially white ones, in the West African country of Gambia. In this documentary filmed by Mary Flannery, a group of college students from St. Mary's College of Maryland travel to Gambia as part of an anthropology course. Throughout their time in the river-country , they experience a world radically different from their own. Interactions with the local populace, daily chores, and the individual projects the students conduct all help them learn what exactly it means to be a "tubab".
