Sister Hearts (16:10)

Mohammad Gorjestani

Maryam Henderson-Uloho spent thirteen years in Pr*son in Louisiana, seven in solitary confinement. After her release she struggled to find housing or employment. She began selling secondhand goods out of a suitcase on a street corner in New Orleans. In just three years, she grew her business to a brick-and-mortar thrift store—one that also provides housing and employment for other formerly-incarcerated women. She calls those women—and her store—Sister Hearts.

Tangled Roots (19:08)

Samantha Knowles

Tangled Roots follows Attica Scott, the only black woman in the Kentucky state legislature, as she fights to dismantle a system of discrimination against black people penalized for something seemingly innocuous – their hair.

Honora Talbott

Two gay Marine vets in Birmingham, Alabama battle their hardest mission: Election Week 2018.

How Far is Home (22:00)

In the midst of Trump’s immigration ban, a teenage refugee Ahmed and his sister Ruba find a home at a Cleveland school for immigrants. While they struggle to pursue their dreams, current immigration policies weigh heavy on their minds.
