ULTIMATE CITIZENS
Directed by Francine Strickwerda
Jamshid is an Iranian who came to study in 1970’s America, and due to the Revolution, never went “home.” As a guidance counselor in Seattle Public Schools, Jamshid’s best work takes place on the playing field with “his kids,” the children of refugees and immigrants. Their parents are in the grips of their own struggles to make a living and a home in a strange land. Mr. Jamshid is the charismatic, fiery, funny human with a Frisbee in hand, who shows that love wins on the field, off the field, at home with family, or boldly forging a new community, in a new country - one kid, chicken, ultra-endurance race, and friend at a time.
BEARING WITNESS: A NAME & A VOICE
Directed by Dina Rudick
This film delves into the backstories and convictions of four extraordinary newspaper reporters. Their distinct personal narratives explain the profound motivations that fuel their work, as well as the indelible stories that continue to resonate within them - revealing the who behind the who-what-when-where & why. The film challenges audiences to transcend the monolithic term "The Media" and instead see clearly individuals who propel it forward.
