Anatomy of Wings
2020 Directed by Nikiea Redmond & Kirsten D'Andrea Hollander
First gathering together to create an after-school film project, ten Black middle school girls return each week to collaborate with mentors in this film about their own coming-of-age. Weeks turn into months, months turn into years, and eventually the girls set off on separate journeys of their own. As the girls grow into women, their self-defined ‘second family’ is left to question if their solidarity will survive.
The Real Right Stuff
2020 Directed by Tom Jennings
THE REAL RIGHT STUFF shares the remarkable true story of our nation’s first astronauts, the original Mercury 7, and NASA’s Project Mercury program, which revolutionized America’s role in human space exploration. Told entirely through archival footage, original radio broadcasts, interviews, and home movies, this film is a full transportation back to the late 1950’s in America. A must watch for space enthusiasts young and old.

Jerry Redfern
Lao People’s Democratic Republic, 71 minutes 50 years after the Vietnam War, an estimated 80 million unexploded bombs remain in Laos, having killed or gravely injured more than 20,000 civilians. While the U.S. spent $50 billion to bomb the country, only $300 million has been spent to clean up this deadly mess. ETERNAL HARVEST traces the failures of policy, and underscores the urgent need for more funding.
