1955 SEVEN DAYS OF FALL tells the story of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodger/New York Yankee World Series based upon the poem entitled '1955', by James T. Crawford and directed by Rory Fielding. In unprecedented style, the program uniquely blends the traditional documentary elements of archival footage and stills, narration, period music, player and fan interviews. The poetry recital weaves through 1955 Seven Days of Fall to recount this timeless story six decades later. The film reflects dedication, teamwork, belief in one's self and commitment to achievement against all odds - this is the story of the Brooklyn Dodgers' only World Championship title after 65 years of futility and the team's unique connection with the community that so closely identified with it. '1955' is more than a sports story; it's a time capsule of a period in American history like no other. As the documentary's epilogue states: "To believe was to achieve, back in 1955". The film features many exclusive last interviews with players who have since passed away, including the legendary Duke Snider. Of the original team, only four players currently survive. '1955' is the winner of the NY Independent Film Festival, the Accolade Competition of La Jolla, CA and the Aurora Award - 'Platinum Best in Show'.

RED STORM RISING: THE STRUGGLE FOR THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY chronicles the complex history of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), from its formation in the early 20th century through its rise, influence and eventual decline. Though never a major political force, the CPUSA played a role in American politics, the labor movement and the cultural life of many workers. Under the leadership of Earl Browder (1932-1945) and William Z. Foster (1945-1957), the Communists attempted to build a mass radical movement, and in the process achieved respectability previously unknown and now frequently forgotten. Despite their close collaboration, Browder and Foster eventually became each other's nemesis as they struggled to address the challenges presented by the Industrial Revolution. Their relationship reveals how inner squabbling in a political movement can affect its influence and ultimate success. More broadly, RED STORM RISING explores the ideals, struggles and contradictions of a movement that challenged the status quo and left a lasting, if often overlooked, mark on U.S. politics.

In VOYAGE OF ADVENTURE: RETRACING DONELSON'S JOURNEY, photographer John Guider sets out to retrace a historic expedition that took place between 1779-1780. Embarking on a 14-and-a-half foot, self-made row boat, Guider follows surveyor John Donelson's late-17th century, 1, 000-mile river journey, which began in the northwest corner of Tennessee and ended at what would later become present-day Nashville. Donelson, an American frontiersman, politician, city planner and explorer, along with fellow pioneer and surveyor James Robertson, set out to establish the first large-scale European settlement in Tennessee. While Robertson trekked over land to their new destination, Donelson led a flotilla of families, slaves and supplies down the riverways. Encountering the worst winter in recorded history and navigating without charts, Donelson and his party dealt with harsh conditions, dwindling food reserves, smallpox and attacks by Native American tribes who were trying to protect their land. Featuring stunning river and wildlife footage, excerpts from Donelson's journal, interviews with historians and authors, and images shot by Guider during his 2016 autumn excursion, VOYAGE OF ADVENTURE weaves together the stories of these two men. Parallels between Guider's journey and that of the Donelson party are found throughout the documentary, making the film both a historical exploration and a celebration of Guider's love of Tennessee's natural landscape and heritage.
