Noelle Siwek, the student producer, said. For some of the crew, this was their first time working with someone with intellectual disabilities. ?I did not have any experience with anyone who had intellectual disabilities, but getting to work with Austin and his family to promote accessibility and equality was amazing,? Director Brie Kirsch said. David Campisi, who has been Austin?s boss for over 10 years at the Fort Worth Italian restaurant, Campisi?s. He came on stage to present Austin with a $2,000 check for his hard work and dedication to the restaurant. The Underwood family and the student-led production crew panel discussion in the auditorium of the Brown-Lupton University Union on Monday, Jan. 29. (Alexandra Smith/Staff Photographer) ?Austin makes us all better emotionally,? Campisi said. ?Austin has been a true love to our company, he is a friend and a brother to me.? The film took the entire semester to complete. ?I worked almost every single day, multiple hours a day, it was tasking, but working on this film has been the highlight of my time at TCU,? Victoria Woodworth, a production student, said. The panel discussion finished by engaging the community on how they can help to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities.

When Black neighborhoods in scores of American cities erupted in violence during the summer of 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders - informally known as the Kerner Commission - to answer three questions: What happened? Why did it happen? And what could be done to prevent it from happening again? The commission's final report, issued in March of 1968, would offer a shockingly unvarnished assessment of American race relations - a verdict so politically explosive that Johnson refused to acknowledge it publicly or even thank the commissioners for their service. Featuring interviews with commission staffers and the last surviving commission member, Senator Fred Harris, The Riot Report explores a pivotal moment in our nation's history and the fraught social dynamics that simultaneously spurred the commission's investigation and doomed its findings to political oblivion.

The legacy-themed documentary features interviews with many original Tuskegee Airmen, family members, and historians - both Italian and American. It also follows the daughter of a Tuskegee Airman back to Italy to visit what remains of the base at Ramitelli and includes a visit to the cemetery at Nettuno, Italy, where several Tuskegee Airmen are buried.

Narrated by CBS Sports' Jim Nantz, THE SEABEES ON IWO JIMA focuses on the story of the United States Naval Construction Battalions of World War II. The "Seabees," some of whom were in their 60s, were recruited from the construction trades to join special battalions that built the airfields and bases needed to stage a successful war effort. Best known for their work building runways out of jungles on the coral islands in the Pacific, these construction battalions helped the United States take the war to Japan's doorstep in 1945. The "Seabees" not only built the infrastructure for the Allied war effort in Europe and the Pacific, but also often had to put down their shovels to pick up rifles and fend off enemy attacks. Their most critical and violent fight was on Iwo Jima, where they went ashore in the first wave with the Marines. It's on Iwo Jima where their "We Build, We Fight" motto was most famously put to the test.

This program tells the true story of American G.I.s -- many of whom would go on to have illustrious careers in art, design and fashion -- who tricked the enemy with rubber tanks, sound effects and visual illusions during the World War II. The 23rd Headquarters Special Troops staged a traveling road show of deception designed to con the Germans right on the front lines. From Normandy to the Rhine, they conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. Many of the men chosen to carry out these deceptions were young artists recruited from art schools across the country. In their spare time, they painted and sketched their way across Europe, creating a unique and moving visual record of their war. Some would go on to become famous, including fashion designer Bill Blass, painter Ellsworth Kelley and photographer Art Kane. This documentary features interviews with 19 Ghost Army veterans, as well as retired general Wesley Clark and other military historians.
In response to French Resistance activities in the area and the D-Day landing of June 6, 1944, a German SS (Schutzstaffel, or "Protection Squads") division arrived in the small French village of Oradour-sur-Glane on June 10, 1944, and massacred 643 innocent civilians. It was one of the worst atrocities of World War II. Four hundred women and children were taken into the village church and murdered. The men were shot. Only seven people managed to escape. Oradour remains a monument to the brutality of war and how civilians paid the price in WWII when the battle passed through their town, city, or village. Narrated by actor Jeff Daniels, VILLAGE OF DEATH: ORADOUR-SUR-GLANE 1944 captures the lasting impact that this atrocity had on the region and the world at large.

The other is the son of a marine who has spent decades searching for details of his father's time on the island with little luck. He finally visits Iwo Jima to piece his dad's wartime puzzle together. Narrated by sportscaster Jim Nantz, the film details events leading up to, through and after the Battle of Iwo Jima via veteran interviews, archival material and recreations.
