This is not a film about the sixties. This is a story of a life spent battling injustice across three decades. With unprecedented and exclusive access to the files, photos, and footage belonging to Johanna Lawrenson (Abbie's partner), the vast majority of which has never been publicly released, this feature documentary will tell the definitive story of Abbie Hoffman's life and legacy. After establishing how and why Abbie became one of the defining figures of the 1960s counterculture, the narrative reveals the heretofore untold story of his excruciatingly painful and comical life on the run from the FBI, as well as his later years as a skilled organizer and radical activist.

We experience an intimate portrayal of man usually discussed as a political prankster, but rarely embraced as a thoughtful, caring, serious revolutionary, fundamentally committed to human rights and justice. We also experience how the legacy of Abbie's organizing and activism continues to inspire and operate in today's antiestablishment social justice movements.

This documentary is based on and inspired by the works of noted American historian David Stannard as well as renowned contemporary photographer Aaron Huey. Throughout this film, past and present intersect in a lively fashion and to profound effect.

"American Holocaust" is the title of Stannard's stunningly powerful, vivid, and relentless counterbalance to the whitewashed version of the European and white American destruction of the native peoples throughout the Americas over a 400 year period - a conquest resembling nothing less than a holy war and holocaust of as many as 100 million human beings. Meticulously researched, Stannard's case – and ours –  lays out the most massive act of genocide in the history of the planet. And the harsh reality is that this genocide continues today, as documented by photojournalist Aaron Huey whose intimate and immersive portrayal of the Pine Ridge Sioux Nation provides the opportunity for a marginalized people to tell the story of their community as it exists now in the long dark shadow of genocide. Huey's exquisite photographs and personal passion brings to life an existence and heritage that rarely registers during discussions of American diversity: life on the reservation. It's a contemporary portrait that illustrates great beauty and community strength despite severe historic and present-day adversity.

Sports in America – it's not only big business (huge business, multi-billion dollar enormous business), it's a mind-numbing repressive apparatus that keeps mass segments of the population from caring about things that matter. American dissident Noam Chomsky frames it this way: "Sports is a major factor in controlling people. Workers have minds; they have to be involved in something and it's important to make sure they're involved in things that have absolutely no significance. So professional sports is perfect. It instills total passivity."

Based on the politically enlightened writings of acclaimed sports journalist Dave Zirin, including his book "Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics, and Promise of Sports," this feature documentary explores the various intersections of sports, politics, and commerce over the last several decades, with a sharp focus on the contemporary playing field. In the spirit of Zirin's analysis, the film celebrates the passion of sports while simultaneously examining the games and its players through the prisms of race, class, and sexual identity. Ultimately, the film raises troubling questions about inherent economic corruption as well as the political appropriation of sports in America for use as heavy-handed propaganda.

Two distant locations – one story. A wealthy suburb in northern New Jersey... and a small, remote fishing village on the north shore of Brazil. In fact, right now, in the state of Ceara, traditionally one of the poorest in this South American country, children are at high risk of poverty, hunger, illness, and child prostitution.

CRIANSA (from the Portuguese word for "child") is an American nonprofit that connects children from these two disparate worlds through mentorship, teaching, social service, and the all-important foundational relationships built on real interpersonal communication. Friendships are established and grow over the course of decades, and support for this impoverished Brazilian community comes not through anonymous gifts, but through deep, personal connections that engender true empathy, understanding, as well as the practical necessities of food, shelter, medical care, and education.

Criansa is a lyrical, verité documentary that looks beyond surface distinctions to reveal the commonalities that make us human, that connect us at the deepest levels.
