Disaster Life 

Self expression among teenagers is explored in the live adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's novel of the same name.

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.

A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.

The concept of male fragility is explored (interestingly, by a male director) in The Sun Never Sets

Dashing in December follows the tried and true outline of a traditional holiday romance, with a less traditional middle-aged gay couple as the film's romantic focus.
