Inertia
A much admired teacher loses her life partner and falls into depression. But one of her students has insights - and determination. Watch as she rallies her classmates to help their teacher in unexpected ways. A real look at human emotions with an inspiring, life-affirming message.
A Life Within
The elderly have had vibrant, rich, meaningful lives. Yet when we meet an Alzheimer’s patient, what do we know of their history? How do we offer care, learn about, and respect their life trajectories? Here, an adult daughter is absent, a young caregiver is hired. Watch how the past, and music, help unlock a woman’s stories and bring joy to all.
Being Me In The Current America
Think you know what racial profiling really looks like? Think again - and take in this monologue. Race, gender, orientation, and national origin all intersect to make us who we are - and they condition how the world reacts to us.
Trust
A nervous woman, searching for an important address, trusts a local woman who seems ready to help her. But soon the doors lock and, wait, is there something sleep-inducing in that tea? A 12 minute thriller with chilling implications.
ISE ABE (Circumcision)
This true-life story details the experiences of a Nigerian woman forced to undergo FGM (female genital mutilation) and it explores the roles societal norms play in this practice. All in 3D animation! Another take on this important issue.

A nervous woman, searching for an important address, trusts a local woman who seems ready to help her. But soon the doors lock and, wait, is there something sleep-inducing in that tea? A 12 minute thriller with chilling implications.


What we love: when women are trusted to make their own decisions about their lives - and their bodies.
