Peace of Her Own

*This film is restricted to viewers in the United States only.* PEACE OF HER OWN chronicles a group of female Indian farmers from a poor village as they strive for economic justice in a society that looks down upon them and offloads the majority of the work to them.

Reflections

*This film is restricted to viewers in the United States only.* In a rebellion against social norms forced upon young women, the narrator guides us through a river of low self-esteem and body image issues. This poetic narration, written by an 8th-grade student, is set against a background of young women who don’t fit in and refuse to conform to the expectations society requires them to shoulder.

Garden Shark: There are Some Things Dementia Can't Touch

*This film is restricted to viewers in the United States only.* GARDEN SHARK breaks through the hopelessness and loss of a dementia diagnosis by giving people living with dementia and their caregivers a new way to connect and find joy. It explores Improv’s ability to teach people to live in the moment, communicate, and learn to laugh in spite of their struggles. GARDEN SHARK highlights couples’ individual experiences and shows how beautifully partners living with dementia respond to the risk-free, playful, and hilarious environment created by Inside Out Theatre’s Village Improv for Alzheimer’s program.
