Dave Chappelle: Live in Real Life

9to5: The Story of a Movement
Producer
In the early 1970s, a group of secretaries in Boston decided that they had suffered in silence long enough. They started fighting back, creating a movement to force changes in their workplaces. This movement became national, and is a largely forgotten story of U.S. twentieth century history. It encapsulates a unique intersection of the women’s movement with the labor movement. The awareness these secretaries brought to bear on women’s work reverberates even today. Clericals were the low-wage workers of their era. America now confronts the growing reality of deep income inequality. The stories and strategies of these bold, creative women resonates in contemporary America.

Дэйв Шаппелл: 8:46
Director
«8:46» — выступление Дэйва Шаппелла в память о погибшем Джордже Флойде. Именно столько времени его душил полицейский, пока Флойд не перестал подавать признаки жизни; и именно в это время сам Дэйв появился на свет. Выступление было записано 6 июня. Получился не столько стендап, сколько искренняя в своем гневе проповедь в адрес полицейского произвола, лицемерных звёзд и политиков, и попытка осмыслить происходящее в родной для Шаппелла стране.

Women of Vision
Self
Documentary that highlights 18 women and covers a period of time from the 50's to the 90's.
