Susanna Styron
Eleventh Hour Films

In March 2010, two months after Haiti's devastating earthquake, a group of nurses from the Haitian American Nurses Association traveled to Haiti to bring medical supplies and offer treatment. Many of them had grown up in Haiti and moved to the New York area as young adults. For most, this was their first trip home in many years. "Many Hands" chronicles their experience of return, and reveals the dedication, tenacity, toughness, tenderness and humor of this extraordinary group of women.

The Thick Dark Fog
Producers: Randy Vasquez, Jonathan Skurnik
Director: Randy Vasquez

American Indian boarding schools were a primary tool of the federal government and church to assimilate Native Americans. At times using neglect, abuse and isolation, this policy sought to sever ties between parent and child and child and culture. The Thick Dark Fog explores the realities, contradictions and intergenerational effects of the boarding schools through the voices and stories of former students, and follows their attempts at educating and healing themselves, their families and communities from this little known aspect of American history.
