Playing last year at the True/False Film Fest, this film is the story of the pioneers who founded Greenpeace and defined the modern green movement.

“Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead”
Trailer / Website / Reviews
Playing at Ragtag Cinema last year, this film takes a look at the history of National Lampoon, from its beginning in the 1970s to 2010. There was no hipper, no more outrageous comedy in print than The National Lampoon, the groundbreaking humor magazine that pushed the limits of taste and acceptability — and then pushed them even harder.

“Of Men and War”
Trailer / Website / Reviews
Another True/False Film Fest pick, this film follows soldiers who have come home to the United States, but their minds remain on the battlefield. At The Pathway Home, a first-of-its-kind PTSD therapy center, the film’s protagonists resolve to end the ongoing destruction. Their therapist is a Vietnam vet himself, helping the men forge meaning from their trauma.

“The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution”
Trailer / Website / Reviews
Playing at Ragtag Cinema last year, this film is the first feature length documentary to explore the Black Panther Party, its significance to the broader American culture, its cultural and political awakening for black people, and the painful lessons wrought when a movement derails. It’s an essential history that birthed a new revolutionary culture in America.
