Narrow Path to Happiness

Gergo and Lenard are a young gay male couple living in a remote Roma community, where being gay is considered an unforgivable sin. They move to Budapest with a dream to make a musical film about their lives and become famous. But when a death in the family who disowned them takes them back home, they seek another chance for acceptance.

Tongo Saa

Tongo Saa is set in Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the government's plans to build a large hydroelectric power plant leaves many residents in darkness and insecurity. The uneven distribution of electricity causes many locals to navigate life after sunset using torches and other means to provide their own infrastructure and security amid constant violence.

The Making of a Japanese

From the Oscar-nominated short comes the full-length feature The Making of a Japanese, an intimate portrait of childhood inside a Tokyo public school. Over the course of a year, 1st and 6th graders navigate daily routines and small dramas while learning discipline, empathy, and community, finding the balance between individualism and being respectful toward others.

Growing Up Black Part 2

Growing up Black in America means cultural bonds, the struggle for visibility, and all too often, unearned judgement. Valerie teaches her students about Africa's greatest explorer; U-Meleni brings her son to a protest of George Floyd’s death; and Harold shows how fear of the police affects his everyday life. Three stories, three interpretations of GROWING UP BLACK PART 2, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
