Gun Nation
Gun Nation
Producer
In the 18 years since Zed Nelson’s seminal photography book Gun Nation was published, 500,000 Americans have been killed by firearms in the US and many more injured. Nelson returns to the people he met, photographs them again, and asks why America is a nation still with an insatiable appetite for firearms.

Shelter in Place
Shelter in Place
Director
A compelling portrait of a poor and mainly African-American community living in the shadow of the Texan oil industry. With the ongoing release of millions of tons of toxic pollutants into the air from poorly regulated oil refineries and petro-chemical plants, residents are told to "Shelter in Place" by staying in their homes and taping up their windows and doors. Communities living on the fence-line of Texan industry are usually low income and powerless to protest. This film is an intimate portrait of a community battling against environmental pollution and unfettered corporate power.
