Three young Indian women in a conservative Muslim town seek to change their futures through education and self-determination.

Voices from Within
Ellie Walton, Joy Haynes
"Voices From Within" brings you into a world most people never see-a mental institution. For the first time in the history of Saint Elizabeth's Hospital, cameras were allowed inside and placed into the hands of four individuals in care: Jimmy, Lee, Kevin, and Calvin, who have been residents for a combined 160 years. All of them have series mental illnesses.

La Manplesa

On May 5th, 1991, people took to the streets of Washington D.C.’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood to protest the police shooting of Daniel Gómez, a young man from El Salvador. Through testimony, song, poetry, and street theatre, La Manplesa weaves together the collective memory of one of D.C.’s first barrios and dives into the roots of the ‘91 rebellion. As people across the world take to the streets to demand an end to police brutality, the film honors the largely untold stories that have come before us, and explores how artists prompt us to remember what we still have to fight for.
