How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ~Anne Frank
THE GOOD GIANTS / GIGANTI BUONI...a documentary film telling the true story of the Buffalo Soldiers of World War II, through the eyes of the grateful Italian people they liberated.
THE PRISON OF PEACE...a film about a self-help program at the Valley State Prison for Women. More than 200 inmates were transformed into Mediators and Peacemakers, creating a prison of the future for two years, until the prison abruptly closed in early 2013.
THE FOREVER FIX..based on the book “The Forever Fix: Gene Therapy and the Boy Who Saved It” (Ricki Lewis, Ph.D., St. Martin’s Press, 2012), telling stories of the children who have pioneered gene therapy and the brilliant and selfless biomedical researchers who are making it happen.
MY BULLIES......a film of, by and for young people. Directed by 15-year-old Keaton Applebaum (above), this film (and young filmmaker) will astound audiences with its directness and its clear understanding of the real issues around bullying behavior, as seen by those on the front lines – junior high and high school kids.
