The glamour is back! It's our annual visit to the Harris Theater for the Academy Award-nominated documentary shorts, with debate to follow. This year, the contenders are:
- The Elephant Whisperers An indigenous couple in South India encounter an orphaned elephant that they care for and work to ensure his survival.
- Haulout In the emptiness of the Russian Arctic, a man is waiting in his hut to observe an annual natural event that happens there, but the warming ocean is taking a toll.
- How Do You Measure a Year? Director Jay Rosenblatt examines the relationship that developed with his daughter from age 2 to 18 as he films her answering the same questions every year.
- The Martha Mitchell Effect About the wife of Richard Nixon’s Attorney General John Mitchell, who spoke out about Watergate and how the Nixon administration attempted to gaslight her into keeping quiet.
- Stranger at the Gate A U.S. Marine planned to carry out a terrorist attack at a mosque in an American small town. But things take a turn when he encounters the people he has set out to murder.
