- A scorching indictment of the Mormon Church's historic involvement in the promotion & passage of California's Proposition 8 and the Mormon religion's secretive, decades-long campaign against LGBT human rights.
- ELDER VOICES is a meditation about the destructiveness of hatred and the power of love, as told by Japanese-Americans, European Jews and conscientious objectors (COs) who came of age during the perilous times of the Great Depression and WWII. For each of these individuals the challenges they confronted proved even more daunting either because of what they believed or simply who they were. Residing together in a retirement community, they continue to live the values and principles of tolerance and mutual respect that were forged in their youth-when they were confronted with anti-Semitism, internment camps, and bigotry. What historical lessons can young people learn from their elders? How can those lessons be applied today as we continue to strive to build a better, more just, and peaceful world? What counsel do these seniors have for young people today who shortly will be facing very difficult challenges of their own? Those watching will become immersed in a diverse and culturally enriching experience.
- On the evening of April 23rd, 2006, Emmy award-winning Reed Cowan was the on-call reporter for Salt Lake City's affiliate KTVX. That Sunday night, he was paged to the scene of a child's hanging. When he rushed to the street where the news scene played out, he found the nightmare he was paged to report on, was his own. Cowan's four year old son Wesley had fallen from a horizontal set of monkey bars in to the path of a trapeze, dying instantly. As Cowan wailed in grief, cameras were rolling. It was in that gut-wrenching moment that Reed Cowan went from reporting the news to being the news. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LENS opens up the most raw and personal feelings of a TV news reporter conflicted by the realities of sensationalized TV news and the feelings of a father tortured by his son's brutal death. The film follows Reed Cowan over a two-year period of self-exploration, self-documentation and self-liberation as he and others work to save the lives of children caught up in Kenya's 2008 post-election violence and ethnic cleaning. Brave, bold and brutal, this film shows the life and evolution of a journalist, a father and en emerging humanitarian.
