Pardon Me Pardon Me

Pardon Me

Across the United States, individuals with criminal records face prejudice and lost opportunities long after they have completed their sentences. In every state, the Governor has the power to pardon past offenses. Pardon Me is a documentary short film that presents the case for how pardons can give individuals the opportunity to live as full citizens and contribute to their best ability, at the same time uplifting the lower income communities in which they live. The film features interviews with key civic leaders and the stories of two people going through the pardon process, one of whom received a pardon.

Brother, Where Are You?

This loose adaptation and update of James Baldwin’s short story Sonny’s Blues has been referred to as powerful, moving, and honest.

Vida

LOGLINE - Los Angeles – 2053: After a bloody civil war, women of color are captured and sterilized as a form of population control. Vida and a group of resistance fighters are getting ready to escape, but suddenly, one of their own is captured, and they’re forced to decide between saving themselves or saving her and risk getting captured.

Los Angeles, 2053 - Amid a world ravaged by climate change and a global food crisis, Los Angeles is a lawless, dystopian battleground. With no government to provide guidance, rogue militias have taken control, implementing a chilling strategy. They forcibly sterilize women they deem unfit for procreation, exploiting the chaos to manipulate the population.

At the center of this turmoil is Vida, a beacon of strength and compassion, who has become a leader among a group of women she now calls family. Vida has orchestrated an underground tunnel system, their ticket to escape the city and its horrors in just three days.

However, their plans crumble when Lexi, a cherished member of their group, is captured by their oppressive adversaries. Vida faces a heart-wrenching dilemma: rescue Lexi or ensure the safety of the group, which includes her only surviving relative, her sister Moni.

Moni, who has known only a world of fear and scarcity, has leaned on Vida and Lexi for support. Lexi's abduction shatters her world, unleashing an unexpected wellspring of courage and loyalty. Moni defies the group's consensus and embarks on a daring mission to rescue her friend.

As Vida risks everything to pursue Moni and Lexi, the fate of these remarkable women intertwines in an unrelenting struggle for survival, resilience, and the enduring power of human connection in the darkest of times.

How to Sue the Klan

From Attorney Ben Crump. America’s first hate group, the Ku Klux Klan, dealt out hatred and violence for over a century without penalty - until five Black women and a young Black civil rights lawyer finally forced them to pay for their crimes. The strength of these women and the groundbreaking 1982 civil case set forth by their attorney established a legal precedent that paved the road for today’s fight against organized hate.
