We will be airing three short documentary films:
Expanding Sanctuary - An immigrant mother emerges as a community leader during the historic campaign to end the sharing of the Philadelphia police database with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Expanding Sanctuary tells a rarely told story about a Latinx immigrant community’s successful journey to change legislation and protect families.

Second responders- Second Responders is a short documentary that explores the emotional aftermath of the 2023 Lewiston, Maine, mass shooting from the perspective of public school teachers. Often overlooked in conversations surrounding tragedy and recovery, educators were forced to become emotional anchors for grieving students while navigating their own fear, trauma, and uncertainty.

Death by a Thousand Cuts -Death by a Thousand Cuts follows two PhD students, Laura Mata Lopez and Griffin Gowdy, as they deal with the aftermath of the federal government cutting science research funding from the National Institutes of Health, money that funded their own research projects at Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University, respectively
