When a Hollywood producer approaches Ross McElwee about remaking his classic documentary SHERMAN'S MARCH, he looks back on a lifetime of what his camera has captured and what remained out of frame.
REMAKE opens in New York on July 10.

“We need to be able to lift up what’s happening in our neighborhoods.” Thanks Jesse Hoyt of @ONENorthside for reminding us the power of community.
STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! is screening nationwide. It's never been more urgent to amplify stories of neighbors supporting neighbors.

Thrilled to announce that we'll be bringing J.M. Harper's moving and essential documentary SOUL PATROL to theaters this Fall. This Sundance award winner, based on the bestselling memoir by Ed Emanuel, reveals a hidden chapter of American history as the Vietnam War’s first Black special ops team reunites to tell their story.

"Knife" will play in festivals this summer and then be released in US and around the world in the fall.
This is a film by @alexgibneyfilm who showed the horrible truth of this attack very well -- he even included footage of the attack on the Chautauqua stage. I'm not sure it is viewable yet -- I don't see it on the streaming services, but I saw it at Chicago film festival Doc10!

Words are not violence. Violence is violence. The story of the attempted murder of Salman Rushdie should remind of this… and encourage us to try to have one ounce of the courage he’s shown over the past few decades. @wearecmp

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our powerful screening of "ICE Under Watch" — seeing first-hand accounts that bring humanity and context to the injustices, hearing from filmmakers and activists, and connecting with local organizations about ways to fight back.
That's what Doc10 is all about: inspiring action, community, and change through nonfiction film.
