The Beast of Budapest (1958)

Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.

The power to function. As people, we are richly blessed to have the wide ranging scope of what we can accomplish…physically and mentally…that aid in everything we desire to strive for and, ideally, accomplish.

Cassie, a musician, and Luke, a man serving in the Marines, form a false relationship and keep it a secret.

'También la Iluvia' exploits Indigenous peoples' fight against the privatization of water in order to tell a story about Spanish characters.

'The Lost Daughter' doesn't paint over the choices Leda and Nina make as mothers as right or wrong but examines the messy in-between.
