THE FILMS:

Do Not Split  Told from within the heart of the Hong Kong protests, we witness the determination and sacrifices of the protesters, the government’s backlash, and the passage of the new Beijing-backed national security law.

 
A Concerto is a Conversation  A virtuoso jazz pianist and film composer tracks his family’s lineage through his 91-year-old grandfather from Jim Crow Florida to the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

 
Hunger Ward   Filmed from inside two of the most active therapeutic feeding centers in Yemen, HUNGER WARD documents a doctor and nurse fighting to thwart the spread of starvation against the backdrop of a forgotten war. 


A Love Song for Latasha   The killing of 15-year old Latasha Harlins became a flashpoint for the 1992 LA uprising.  Oral history and memories converge in this reimagining of her life, as told by her 
cousin and best friend.
