Ten to Life
Suburban parents Mitzi and Jon Wall are shocked when their 27-year-old Jonathan is charged with a nonviolent cannabis crime that carries up to life in prison. As they try to raise awareness about the injustice of their son’s case, they’re confronted with their own blindspots to matters of social justice and mass incarceration.

Dicks that I like
Visual artist Daniela Torres creates colorful ceramic dick sculptures inspired by the men who have been dicks to her. In this intimate artist portrait, Daniela shares her struggles, anger and catharsis as she creates a sculpture modelled after a series of unsolicited dick pics. It's a hands-on approach to healing trauma that yields beautiful results.

The eye begins in the hand
El Ojo Comienza En La Mano is a tribute to campesino histories in rural CA through the artwork of an artist largely absent from critical conversations on Chicanx art, Ruben A. Sanchez, as well as an unsentimental reckoning with the fate of many cultural workers that struggle between paying rent and/or creative endeavors.
