The Story of Percival Pilts
Janette Goodey, John Lewis
While playing on stilts as a child, Percival Pilts declares that he'll 'never again let his feet touch the ground!' He stays true to his word and compelled ever higher, he builds his stilts so tall that he no longer fits into normal society. A whimsical story about living an impractical life based on a childhood promise.

They're Trying To Kill Us
Keegan Kuhn, John Lewis
Cedric the Entertainer, Mýa
Eschewing the glaringly color-blind format of many other documentaries interested in advocating for plant-based living, They’re Trying to Kill Us utilizes its specificity as an act of community care and offers up a new vision of what veganism might look like for communities of color who have been systematically targeted by nutritional and environmental racism.
