Around America
Journey across the United States, from Appalachia and Yellowstone National Park to the southern border and beyond, in this captivating collection of humanist documentaries.
Appalheads
Decades after leaving Appalachia, a daughter returns to eastern Kentucky to excavate her father’s remarkable filmmaking legacy—as the founder of Appalshop—and reflect on the pull home still has on her.
This Land
The untold story of Ganienkeh, a Mohawk community fighting to regain its traditional culture.
Get Your Line In & Pray
Every January, 10,000 people descend on Brainerd, Minnesota, to compete in the world’s largest charitable ice fishing competition. The event impacts nearly every aspect of life in the area for days on end, but perhaps none more than the local bait shop, owned and operated by self-described “crabby old lady” Sherree Wictor. With intimate knowledge of the culture, history, and eccentric clientele the competition brings, Sheree offers her personal opinion of what makes it special—and how to win it.
How the Land Remembers Us
Amidst Yellowstone National Park's 150th anniversary, Indigenous artists gather to celebrate their connection with place, revealing a story of how the land remembers them through past, present, and future generations.
Beneath the Same Sky
In El Paso’s borderlands, Fidel confronts life as a Border Patrol agent. Caught between two nations, he enforces the law while uncovering human stories—of dreams pursued and lost, hopes carried and ultimately shattered.
MEET MR. MEAT
Mr. Meat is a 150-pound pig who lives in the middle of Los Angeles alongside 12 million humans. This is the story of him and his adoptive family.
A Drastic Tale
"A Drastic Tale" explores the deep, unwavering brotherhood formed between members of Drastic Auto Club, one of the oldest lowrider clubs in New York City.
