Where do you live when you can’t get into subsidized housing, but also can’t afford a place of your own? For this family of three, the desert—with its dust and strange beauty—became the answer. Living in a trailer home just outside of St. George, Utah, they exist in a financial state that is becoming increasingly common throughout the country. It’s a level of poverty they call “The Gray Area.”

THE GRAY AREA

This is a documentary about director, Tavo Ruiz's mother and the moment that changed her life. Through her narration, Ruiz's mother confesses to him what she remembers from the moment she was raped as a child. By painfully recalling this traumatic event, she reflects on the sexual abuse of children and the scars that these events leave in a person's life.

RETRATOS DE MI MADRE (PORTRAITS OF MY MOTHER)

At first glance, Pete Monsanto Jr. lives a glamorous life: a celebrity photographer who works with Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, etc. But look deeper and you will see a man with an ad-sized hole in his life. Pete was just five years old when his father was sentenced to life without parole for racketeering. Pete is now the same age his dad was when he was sent away. During his incarceration, Pete’s father runs every day in the prison yard, keeping his mind and body sharp. Inspired by his dad, Pete decides to run the NYC marathon. Pete’s personal story, the special bond he shares with his incarcerated dad, and his experience with the 26-mile race are the subject of Run For His Life.
