Shaken to his core, Augustus realizes the horrors of slavery and racial inequalities will continue if he remains complicit. He’s left with one choice; speak up or lose his freedom

Boxed: A fictionalized short film based on the true story of the terrifying daring escape of Henry "Box" Brown, an enslaved man who used creativity to escape from slavery in 1849 by mailing himself to freedom.

Behind The Walls: Portuguese authorities keep no data on ethnicity or race because they find that identifying people by race is discriminatory. Yet, ignoring the data is giving people the right to accept that racism in Portugal does not exist, leaving those in minority communities angered and hopeless because their rights are being taken away.

It will uncover a system and is unjust and corrupt.

LN3: SEVEN TEACHINGS OF THE ANISHINAABE IN RESISTANCE: Predatory industry hijacked the US regulatory system in 2019, placing ancient food systems and a fifth of the world’s freshwater in imminent danger.

This is the battle for Earth.

WHAT IF ...: This short documentary film shatters the preconceptions of homelessness, explores the ramifications of unstable housing for children, and provides a solution to adverse childhood experiences and future health outcomes through the assistance of the Illumination Foundation who seeks to disrupt the cycle of homelessness in Orange County and Southern California.
