WHAT DOES TUGG EDU DO?

BENDING THE ARC is a powerful documentary about the extraor-dinary team of doctors and activists behind Partners in Health – including Paul Farmer, Jim Yong Kim, and Ophelia Dahl - whose work thirty years ago to save lives in a rural Haitian village grew into a global battle in the halls of power for the right to health for all. Epic, yet intimate, the film is a compelling argument for the power of collective and personal vision and will to turn the tide of history.

From director Brian Malone (EDUCATION, INC.), BEYOND STANDING ROCK takes a close-up look at the controversy on the front lines of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The film investigates the colli-sion of energy development and tribal rights/sovereignty. The documentary explores these issues through three different tribal stories: The Dakota Access Pipeline (Standing Rock Sioux), the South-ern Ute Tribe energy development, and a coalition of tribes in the Four Corners region, fighting for control over the Bears Ears National Monument.

Beyond Standing Rock is a compel-ling and timely look at this country’s

conflict with itself over land-rights, energy and tribal sovereignty.

On her way to the store with a group of friends, Chrishaun Reed “CeCe” McDonald was brutally attacked. While defending her life, a man was killed. After a coercive interrogation, CeCe was incar-cerated in a men’s prison in Minnesota. An international campaign to free CeCe garnered significant support from media and activists, including actress Laverne Cox. Cox signed on as executive pro-ducer of FREE CECE!, committed to exploring the role race, class, and gender played in CeCe’s case. In the end, CeCe emerged not only as a survivor, but also as a leader. Documentarian Jac Gares pushed past the everyday narratives of victimhood surrounding the lives of transgender people, to spotlight the way CeCe and other trans people are leading a growing movement fighting for the rights of transgender people everywhere. CeCe’s powerful story highlights the groundswell of voices questioning the prison industrial complex and calling for its disassembly.

... hugely significant for its indomitable spirit and bold confrontation of the sys-tematic injustice that lingers throughout America (and the rest of the world). – Laura Nicholson, IndieWire

MAN IN RED BANDANA is a documentary film about the inspirational story of an American hero - Welles Remy Crowther. Welles worked on the 104th floor of the South Tower and saved many people on September 11th.

JOHN LEWIS GET IN THE WAY

54 min. Kathleen DowdeySubject Areas: African American Studies, US History, Civil Rights

JOHN LEWIS: GET IN THE WAY is the first major documentary of Lewis – a civil rights hero, congressional leader and champion of human rights whose unwavering fight for justice spans the past 50 years. The film traces the journey of John Lewis’ life, from grow-ing up in rural isolation, seemingly destined for a bleak future in the Jim Crow South to his nonviolent direct actions as a Civil Right Movement leader and congressman. Lewis strives to persuade D.C. powerbrokers to hear the voices of the unheard, embrac-ing human rights and the “dignity and worth of every person.” He challenges discrimination, poverty, poor education, police brutality, inaccessible healthcare and limitations on voting rights, and de-spite setbacks, he’s become an icon. A masterful storyteller, Lewis masterfully relates the gripping tale of his role in an epic chapter of U.S. history.

He is the moving, roaring protector of the rights afforded every person in this nation. GET IN THE WAY arrives at the perfect moment.

AMERICA DIVIDED, a dramatic non-fiction TV series from Executive Producers Com-mon, Norman Lear, and Shonda Rhimes, cuts to the heart of the greatest social crisis facing our country today — inequality. AMERICA DIVIDED uncovers the growing gulf separating Americans from one another; explores the damage this divide produc-es; engages with the provocative politics around inequality; and investigates both its long-term causes and real-world attempts at solutions. The series leverages the biography and relatability of celebrated individuals to expose the structural causes of inequality, explore the damage extreme inequality inflicts on all Americans, and celebrate the heroes who are fighting for solutions. By highlighting the struggle for solutions, AMERICA DIVIDED is a touchstone for those seeking positive change by presenting examples which can be emulated and expanded, to foster connections between disparate efforts and communities, and serve as notice to the discouraged that solutions are possible.
