- A criminal subculture operates among U.S. soldiers stationed in West Germany just before the fall of the Berlin wall.
- The all-black US Cavalry Troop H pursues Apache warrior Victorio while dealing with racial bigotry and myths about their designated enemies.
- As the United States recovered from the bloody aftermath of the Civil War, Congress passed the Reorganization Act in 1866, that created the first-ever all-Black peacetime regiments. These six regiments would be reduced to four - the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry - and soon earn the moniker Buffalo Soldiers. Although they never received the true and full recognition they deserved, Black Patriots: Buffalo Soldiers, will tell their remarkable story of their valor, bravery, and service. From the complicated skirmishes in the Southwest against Native Americans to the heroic battles on foreign soil to the ongoing fight to be treated as first-class citizens, the Buffalo Soldiers served with pride, dignity, and belief in defending a free America. This one-hour documentary introduces viewers to men, many of whom were formally enslaved, like George Jordan, who will learn to read and write in the Army and rise to the position of Sergeant and receive the Medal of Honor. Other significant figures include Horace Bivins and George Berry, who will upstage Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War; and Sgt. Henry Flipper, the first African American to graduate from West Point. However, with all the medals and valor on the battlefield, the Buffalo Soldiers were not immune to racism and professional setbacks. Soldiers like Colonel Charles Young, the third African American to graduate from West Point, will advance to Colonel but fall short of becoming the first Black General. With the help of military experts, historians, and Buffalo Soldiers' descendants, and supported with historic photography and documents, and original illustrations, Black Patriots: The Buffalo Soldiers recalls an important time in American history, spotlighting the soldiers that played a pivotal role in shaping and protecting the Nation. Their acts of resilience on and off the battlefield paved the way for future generations of African American military men and women. Their empowering story is as relevant today as it was over a century ago.

- Betrayal of Justice is a stunning new documentary short film by Lindell Singleton that explores the Camp Logan tragedy that resulted in the execution of 18 soldiers. These men were convicted in a kangaroo court by the US military in 1917 for a crime to which many believe the majority of those convicted had no involvement. Considered the largest court martial in US military history, the men of the 24th Infantry were stationed amid the hostility of the Jim Crow South in Houston, Texas to help protect the construction of Camp Logan. For the men of the 24th Infantry, these were unimaginable circumstances. White townsmen and law enforcement resented black soldiers in uniform and made their sentiments clear: Never challenge the southern codes of white supremacy. On that sweltering August day, local law enforcement deliberately provoked the men of the 24th and what ensued was a heinous, preventable tragedy of historic gravitas. After the incident, it was discovered that for the first time in American history, more white people perished than did blacks during this race riot. Housed in the church chapel on base at Fort Sam Houston, the unjust trials and executions of these men were carried out within hours, without presidential review or due process. What happened in Houston was connected to an event that happened in East St. Louis, Illinois a few weeks earlier. The East St. Louis riot was one of 33 major interracial disturbances in the United States between 1919 and 49. More than 125 blacks were killed in East St. Louis in 1917. Most of the riots were concentrated in the period between 1915 through 1919 and 1940 through 1944. These were also times during World War I and World War II when large numbers of blacks migrated to northern cities from the south. Studies of the East St. Louis riot show that a major factor underlying the disturbance was resentment over the rapid buildup of blacks in previously white communities. Directed by Lindell Singleton, Betrayal of Justice: A Buffalo Soldier Story offers a most convincing assertion and sound justification for a presidential pardon for the men of the 24th Infantry who served in the United States Army with honor, dignity and valor. Unflinchingly sobering, Betrayal of Justice: A Buffalo Soldier Story is a compelling, must-see documentary for veterans, historians and ostensibly all Americans, especially those committed to righting the wrongs of our sometimes painful past, even when that task seems insurmountable.
- A century and a half ago, Black soldiers, known as "Buffalo Soldiers", changed the face of the military forever. Despite their astonishing achievements in the face of heartbreaking adversity, these brave men have remained obscure...until now. Buffalo Soldiers: A Quest for Freedom is an in-depth documentary that begins in the turbulent days of the Revolutionary War, traverses Frontier expansion and the Spanish American War, and concludes with a modern perspective of military officers of color. This ambitious body of work chronicles, year by year, the extraordinary story of these notable African American men -and yes woman. - and their invaluable service to this country.
- The lyrical story of a community of Jamaican migrant farmers working the tobacco harvest in rural Massachusetts. Subtle and touching, the film rises above the political to focus on the often-overlooked human face of migrant work.
- Buffalo Soldiers: George Jordan and the Indian Wars is a poignant examination of the marginalized history of the Buffalo Soldiers - African American servicemen who bravely served in numerous conflicts, only to face scorn, ridicule, and suppression of their stories back home. The film's epicenter is George Jordan, a formerly enslaved man turned soldier, whose exemplary courage in battles etches a stark contrast against his forgotten legacy. Juxtaposing the resistance of Apache Chiefs and braves with Jordan's unwavering will to protect his comrades and white settlers, the narrative challenges us to reconcile with the oft-overlooked aspects of the formation of the West. With a stark reminder of Jordan's decline due to his heroic yet under-acknowledged efforts, the refusal of the Army to provide him with care, the film crescendos into a plea for recognition of the Buffalo Soldiers, ultimately asking us what we can give to make our country better, inspired by these unsung heroes.
