“All I owned was my camera, a leopard coat, and a grenade in case of capture...the pillow was the rifle, the walls were the trees and the sky was the roof,” says partisan Faye Schulman. Over 25,000 Jewish partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII’s Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents to courageous resistance fighters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, these last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in FOUR WINTERS, revealing a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience.
California State of Mind tells the story of how one man rose against seemingly insurmountable obstacles and shaped the future of modern California.

In 1937, the invading Japanese army murdered over 200,000 and raped tens of thousands of Chinese. In the midst of the horror, a small group of Western expatriates banded together to save 250,000--an act of extraordinary heroism. This documentary shows the tremendous impact that individuals can make. It is a gripping account of light, even in the darkest of times.

Love Free or Die is about a man whose two defining passions are in direct conflict: his love for God and for his partner Mark. Gene Robinson is the first openly gay person to become a bishop in the historic traditions of Christendom. His consecration in 2003, to which he wore a bullet-proof vest, caused an international stir, and he has lived with death threats every day since. The film follows Robinson's personal story as American churches debate whether or not lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are equal to heterosexuals in the eyes of God while our nation debates whether LGBT people are equal to heterosexuals in the eyes of the law.

Before Oprah, before Arsenio, there was Mr. SOUL. Ellis Haizlip ensures the Revolution will be televised with "SOUL!," America's first "Black Tonight Show." From 1968 to 1973, the public-television variety show SOUL!, guided by the enigmatic producer and host Ellis Haizlip, offered an unfiltered, uncompromising celebration of Black literature, poetry, music, and politics-voices that had few other options for national exposure, and, as a result, found the program an improbable place to call home. The series was among the first to provide expanded images of African Americans on television, shifting the gaze from inner-city poverty and violence to the vibrancy of the Black Arts Movement. With participants' recollections and illuminating archival clips, Mr. SOUL. captures a critical moment in culture whose impact continues to resonate, and an unsung hero whose voice we need now more than ever, to restore the SOUL of a nation.
This documentary tells the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music - the freedom songs protesters sang on picket lines, in mass meetings, and in jail cells as they fought for justice and equality. A fresh and exhilarating take on one of the most important social movements in American history, Soundtrack for a Revolution explores the civil rights struggle through the powerful and stirring songs that inspired a generation. This documentary features new performances of the freedom songs by top artists, archival footage, and interviews with civil rights foot soldiers and leaders. Freedom songs evolved from slave chants, from the labor movement, and especially from the black church. Music enabled them to sing the words they were not permitted to say, and it was crucial in helping the protesters as they faced down brutal aggression with dignity and non-violence. This documentary film is a celebration of the vitality and power of this music.
For the very first time, Dr Martin Couney's story will be told in the form of a feature-length documentary film! Dr Couney: Babies of the Boardwalk will take you on a carnivalesque journey back in time to the Coney Island Midways and exhibitions of nearly a century ago where circus sideshows echo with the rhythm of dizzying street performers and the extraordinary Cyclone rollercoaster. Drawing on stunning photographs and fantastical film footage of an era long gone, the story unfolds. From his humble beginnings of shtetl life in Eastern Europe, Dr. Couney would go on to save thousands of premature babies. Desperate parents turned away by hospitals and mainstream doctors shuttled their tiny infants in shoeboxes seeking his lifesaving incubators.
Against extraordinary odds, Jewish Partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of Eastern Europe. These determined men and women, many barely teens, tell their story for the final turn. Engaging in acts of sabotage, blowing up trains, burning electric stations, and attacking armed enemy headquarters, they rose up against Nazism and brutality. The film turns its lens to the dangers of bystander behavior and the deadly consequences of supremacist ideology and discrimination. A fusion of inspiring and powerful first-person interviews, family photographs and rare archival footage shatter the myth of Jewish passivity. FOUR WINTERS promises to be a stunning, heartfelt narrative of heroism, and resilience.
Lusia’s journey to survive began at just 10 years old with the rumbling of German army trucks rolling into her hometown. Within 72 hours, murderous pogroms were committed, her community was at the mercy of Nazi soldiers determined to carry out Hitler’s Final Solution and her family was brutally murdered. Now a young orphan with only the clothes on her back, and wit, hope, grit and determination, she escaped. Hiding in plain sight, living on the run, and camouflaging as a polish farm hand until she was finally liberated in 1944. Lusia’s long journey continued across war-torn Europe, facing dangerous border checkpoints and bravely crossing the Alps on foot until she reached the shores of Italy. There, she would board a passenger ship to a country she would soon call her home.
