Editor
They flipped the House in 2018. Now they’re back in 2020. Follow the suburban women who were activated after the 2016 election as they are schooled by activists from Birddog Nation, including Ady Barkan, a dying father with ALS who is fighting for democracy with his last breath, and Ana Maria Archila, a sexual assault survivor who confronts Senator Jeff Flake on an elevator during Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. The leaders of Birddog Nation set the women on a path deeper and more radical than they ever imagined. Are they the key to another Blue Wave in 2020?
Quem Escreverá a Nossa História
Editor
Em Novembro de 1940, dias depois de os Nazis terem fechado 450.000 judeus no Gueto de Varsóvia, um grupo secreto de jornalistas, académicos e líderes da comunidade decidiram ripostar. Liderado pelo historiador Emanuel Ringelblum e conhecido pelo nome de código Oyneg Shabes, este grupo clandestino prometeu derrotar as mentiras e propaganda nazi, não com armas ou punhos, mas com papel e caneta. Agora, e pela primeira vez, a sua história é contada num documentário.
Mimi and Dona
Editor
What happens when love runs out of time? For a 92-year-old mother, Mimi, who has cared 64 years for her daughter, Dona, who has an intellectual disability, it means facing the inevitable -- she will not outlive her daughter -- and finding her daughter a home. This poignant, heartbreaking and, at times, humorous documentary traces this process through the story of a wonderfully quirky and deeply connected mother-daughter duo. The film spotlights the challenges of aging caregivers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities -- some 4.6 million Americans, 75 percent of whom live at home with family -- and details the ripple effects of Dona's disability on three generations of a Texas family.
