From red carpets to screening rooms, witness the passion that drives independent cinema.

Global Cinema Episode 2

The stakes rise as filmmakers face the brutal reality of festival circuits—rejection letters, budget constraints, and the constant hustle to get their films seen. This episode pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous side of indie filmmaking, revealing the resilience required to survive in an industry where "no" is more common than "yes." Yet amid the struggle, we discover why creators persist: the belief that their story matters.

Global Cinema Episode 3

From concept to screen: this episode deconstructs the creative process behind independent films.

Featuring stunning footage from diverse films, this episode is a masterclass in visual storytelling—exploring cinematography, sound design, and the thousand tiny decisions that make or break a film.

Global Cinema Episode 4

The series finale celebrates the power of cinema to transcend borders and connect humanity. From a refugee filmmaker documenting displacement to a documentary capturing disappearing traditions, these stories prove that independent film isn't just entertainment—it's cultural preservation, social commentary, and a bridge between worlds. This episode reminds us why independent voices must be protected and amplified in an era of homogenized content.

Alice and Huck

Two souls, one lakeside dock, and a conversation that changes everything. Alice and Huck is a contemplative character study about connection in an age of disconnection—what happens when two strangers choose vulnerability over guardedness. Shot against the stunning backdrop of Pacific Northwest waterways, this film uses minimal dialogue and maximum atmosphere to explore how we build trust, reveal ourselves, and find unexpected companionship. A meditation on loneliness, hope, and the courage it takes to truly be seen.

Lucky

The film follows the story of Lucky Barima Mensah, a handsome university student that has landed the date of the century with the most popular girl on social media. With not a cedi to his name, Lucky and his friend Wadaada have to try and sell a macbook to gangsters and fraudsters while avoiding a crazy taxi driver they ditched without paying. When Lucky thinks nothing else can go wrong, they do.

Mami

A daughter returns home to confront the distance that's grown between her and her mother. Through a single afternoon of cooking, cleaning, and carefully chosen words, Mami explores the unspoken language of maternal love—how we inherit both wounds and strength from the women who raise us. Shot with intimacy and authenticity, this film captures the complexity of mother-daughter relationships: the resentment, the gratitude, the realization that understanding comes only when we're ready to see our mothers as people, not just parents.

New Day

After hitting rock bottom, a man wakes to find himself at a literal and metaphorical sunrise—given one more chance to choose differently. New Day is a hopeful exploration of what it means to begin again when you've lost everything. Can we really change? Or are we doomed to repeat our patterns? Through poetic visuals and minimal dialogue, this film argues that every morning is a new opportunity—if we have the courage to take it.

Ignatius Sancho

Born on a slave ship in 1729, Ignatius Sancho defied every expectation of his era to become a celebrated composer, writer, actor, and the first Black person to vote in a British election. This documentary brings to life his extraordinary journey from enslaved child to Georgian England's most fascinating literary figure—a man who used wit, talent, and sheer determination to forge an identity in a world that said he couldn't exist. His letters, published posthumously, remain a powerful testament to Black intellectual life in 18th-century Britain.

Mary Eliza Mahoney

In 1879, Mary Eliza Mahoney became the first African American licensed nurse in the United States—a groundbreaking achievement that required her to endure unimaginable discrimination while maintaining impeccable professionalism. This documentary honors her unwavering commitment to healthcare excellence and her role in paving the way for generations of Black nurses. At a time when most nursing schools refused Black applicants, Mahoney's success challenged the medical establishment and proved that excellence knows no color.

Matilda C. Evans

Dr. Matilda C. Evans made history twice: as South Carolina's first African American woman physician and as a tireless advocate for community health in underserved Black communities. In an era when Black patients were often refused treatment at white hospitals, Dr. Evans opened her own hospital and training school for Black nurses, creating a healthcare ecosystem where none existed. This documentary reveals her entrepreneurial spirit, medical expertise, and radical belief that quality healthcare is a human right—not a privilege.

The Real McCoy

"Is it the real McCoy?" This ubiquitous phrase traces back to Elijah McCoy, a Black-Canadian inventor whose automatic lubrication system revolutionized the railroad industry. Despite holding over 50 patents, McCoy faced relentless discrimination and knockoff products so inferior that railroad engineers demanded "the real McCoy." This documentary celebrates his engineering genius and explores how systemic racism tried—and failed—to erase his legacy. Today, every time someone asks if something is "the real thing," they're unknowingly honoring a Black inventor.
