Shine On
Shine On chronicles six special needs girls & young women and their families as they participate in the Miss You Can Do It Pageant. Thirty-seven contestants between the ages of 5-25 enjoy one night when their disabilities are invisible and where wishing upon a star becomes a reality. Their individual stories are as remarkable as they are inspiring. SHINE ON shows that no matter what life challenges us with, we all have the same desires – a need to feel special tempered by the need to feel normal.
Pageant
Pageant presents a behind-the-scenes look at the 34th Miss Gay America contest where fifty-two ordinary gentlemen go to extraordinary lengths to be crowned as winner. The doc follows five of the most talented and beautiful female impersonators as they prepare to dominate in this underground competition.
From The Village We Came
From The Village We Came tells the story of a woman born into privilege in the early 1900's in a small remote village in the mountains of Lebanon. Tracing her roots back to the local Sheik, the documentary uses family interviews and archival footage to recreate this incredible story of family, survival and community. More than seventy-five years later, the lessons learned in the mountains of Lebanon and from generations before her serve as a family's foundation here in the United States.
