All of Me: Through the personal stories of three severely obese women who choose weight-loss surgery, this film shines a light on the causes, challenges, and intense psychological struggles surrounding obesity in our society, as well as our attitudes and prejudices towards the obese.

In sickness and in wealth: What are the connections between healthy bodies, healthy bank accounts and skin color? The opening episode of the “Unnatural Causes” series travels to Louisville, Kentucky, not to explore whether medical care cures us, but to see why we get sick in the first place, and why patterns of health and illness reflect underlying patterns of class and racial inequities.

Growing up trans: Just a generation ago, it was adults, not kids, who changed genders. But today, many children are transitioning, too — with new medical options, and at younger and younger ages. This Frontline episode takes viewers on an intimate and eye-opening journey inside the struggles and choices facing transgender kids and their families. (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/growing-up-trans/)
My So Called Enemy: A coming-of-age film about the vital role of listening and empathy in bridging bridges across personal, cultural, religious, political and gender divides. A film about not making assumptions. The film presents the complexities of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict through a human lens, and the possibility and hope that comes from listening to each other’s stories.
