Short Documentary Highlights
The short documentaries this year are really special, emphasizing hope and compassion. Each offers a different perspective and mode of composition.
* The joy of a father-daughter relationship captured over sixteen years, strengthens our hope for the future.
* A caring couple in Southern India nurtures an orphaned baby elephant, sharing the need to respect all species.
* Kindness and compassion from potential victims changes the life of the man who would harm them.
* The fate of walruses in Arctic Siberia soberly confirms that the time to address climate change is now.
* A cabinet member’s wife and unlikely whistleblower tried to take down a president and corrupt administration. Offering a female gaze on Watergate through the eyes and voice of Martha Mitchell, we now know she was right all along.
Documentaries screen Fridays at 6:30 pm — Feb 17, 24, Mar 03 and 10.
