Lessons from the Water: Diving with a Purpose
Director
What do deep sea divers seek, both literally and spiritually, in the oceans? For the Black scuba divers who formed the organization, Diving With a Purpose, their goal is to restore the nearly 500 voyages shipwrecked during the slave trade, to the historical record. Their mission is to uncover who was on board these vessels, and learn where they came from and where they were headed. Director Charles Todd takes viewers into this inter-generational journey, while exploring the intimate relationship between student and instructor. Todd finds both a search for identity, and a communal bond developed through a shared mission.

Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away
Director
"Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away” captura a história de George “Buddy” Guy, que transcendeu sua juventude como agricultor em Lettsworth, Louisiana nos anos 40 para se tornar um dos guitarristas mais influentes de todo tempo. Após se mudar para o Centro-Oeste nos anos 50, Guy rapidamente destacou-se como o guitarrista preferido da Muddy Waters e Howlin Wolf como parte do icônico cenário de blues de Chicago, diretamente inspirando The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Page e Eric Clapton. Ainda, o sucesso comercial solo sempre escapava Buddy, até um avanço no fim de sua carreira nos anos 90. Um conto de perseverança de muitas décadas, a jornada de Buddy reflete ambos na experiência Negra nos Estados Unidos no século vinte e na história do blues. O documentário possui apresentações arquivadas e totalmente novas de Buddy Guy—com pessoas como o Presidente Obama e The Rolling Stones—e entrevistas com John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Gary Clark Jr, Kingfish, entre outros.

Behind The 1975’s 'Notes on a Conditional Form'
Director
“Let’s describe it as a desire to be outward followed by a fear of being seen,” The 1975’s Matty Healy tells Apple Music. “I think that is the conversation that happens in this record.” This short film finds Healy reflecting on his motivations and complexities as he and his bandmates reveal the ideas that fuelled their fourth album, Notes on a Conditional Form. It’s a unique and unguarded look at one of Britain’s most venturous bands.
Behind Scriptonite's 2004
Director
December 2019 marked Scriptonite’s return to rap. His new album 2004, released exclusively on Apple Music, is filled with inventive beats and typically mysterious lyrics. His break was useful: “I’m feeling very fresh now,” the artist says. “New songs are being written easier and faster than before.” In this beautifully shot movie Scriptonite shows how he created the songs for 2004—and what role a doorbell played in making them. Then he ruminates on hip-hop’s golden age and music as therapy, and finally makes a choice between complexity and simplicity.
