Lost Compassion

Mitrice Richardson, a lovely 24 year old African-American woman, was released late at night from the Malibu, California Sheriffs jail after having been detained for not paying her bill at an upscale restaurant. She was described as 'acting crazy' and, in fact, was having a mental crisis. She was released into the mountainous region with no cell, no purse, no ID, no car, no way home and vanished. Eleven months later her remains were found in a desolate Malibu canyon. 'Lost Compassion,' shot from ten days after Mitrice went missing, tells the complex, emotional inside story of the search for Mitrice and struggles with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, whose deputies lied about her arrest and likely were involved with her disappearance and murder.

My Friend

It tells the story of a mother and her two sons who lost their husband. The younger son became a thug by joining the wrong crowd, committing robberies, and becoming a thug, while the older son became a well-educated and well-mannered young man. However, the mother devotes all her attention and care to the older son. One day, the younger son extorts money from a poor woman who works at a cafeteria, destroys her belongings, and beats her mentally ill son to steal his money. On a rainy autumn evening, when the older son goes out to buy medicine for his mother, wearing his brother's shirt, the boy who was beaten by his younger brother mistakes him for his younger brother and beats him to death with a brick. As the saying goes, "I put on a coat after the last rain," the film shows how he realizes everything after his brother's death.

Criminalising Women

Why are more women in Australia going to prison than ever before? Women find themselves behind bars for various crimes ranging from violence in self-defense to drug trafficking, breaking-and-entering & driving under the influence. Many then get stuck in a pattern of re-offending and repeated jail stints. ‘Criminalising Women’ follows three Australian ladies who have been released from prison. The feature traces their rehabilitation into society, and how they navigate an institutional system that is designed to punish them, instead of bringing about a change in individuals.

State of Fear: Murder and Memory on Black Wall Street

Tulsa, Oklahoma is renowned as "the oil capitol of the world" - once home to the most prosperous black community in the United States known as "Black Wall Street." In 1921, after members of the KKK had effectively taken control of the city, Black Wall Street was destroyed in a massacre known as "The Tulsa Race Riot." Black Wall Street, formerly known as the Greenwood District was then renamed the Brady District for Tulsa's Ku Klux Klan-affiliated Mayor. Ever since, the area has known extensive, community-wide victimization by racist members of the Tulsa law enforcement community. In April 2015, a Reserve Deputy killed Eric Harris, an unarmed suspect, as he ran from members of the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office.
