RICH HILL
Rich Hill, Missouri is like many small towns in post-industrial America, struggling to keep a community together despite a rapid decline in employment, troubled schools and a crumbling social and physical infrastructure.  It's a place where simply getting by is considered a success.  This achingly beautiful Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning film follows three teenage boys living on the fringes of society, struggling with the impediments of poverty and a lack of opportunity as they hope for a better way of life for their families.  Dreaming big but living small.  -CM

Marc Halberstadt’s family lost their home to the Nazis and escaped to the US. He hopes to go to Germany and get reparations. But then he has an idea: If Germany owes me for sixty five years of back rent, and I owe the Native Americans for sixty five years of rent too, why not let the Native Americans collect directly from Germany and cut out the middleman?

TRASH DANCE
Sometimes inspiration is found in unexpected places. Choreographer Allison Orr joins city sanitation workers on their daily routes to listen, learn, and ultimately to try to convince them to collaborate in a unique dance performance. Hard working, their lives are already full with work, family and dreams of their own. But after months of rehearsal, the trash collectors and their trucks perform an extraordinary spectacle. On an abandoned airport runway, thousands of people show up to see how in the world a garbage truck can "dance." Screens with Bookin’. - CM
