Angelou: And Still I Rise is the first feature documentary to tell the
full story of the incomparable Maya Angelou. The film takes viewers on
an incredible and unforgettable journey through the life and times of a
true American icon. Maya Angelou has lived not one life, but half a
dozen: from her hardscrabble roots in the Depression-era South to supper
club chanteuse, performer in Porgy &

The IF Project
If Project follows a group of inmates incarcerated in a
maximum-security women’s prison who are part of a writing workshop
co-created by a Seattle police detective and a repeat offender serving a
nine-year sentence. The workshop challenges the women to answer, in
their own words, a simple question with a difficult answer: What if
things had been different? The film follows three of the women in the
program through their journey as they are released, reunited with their
families and faced with life on the outside.
