Documentary Short/Featured
In a country where a high school education is generally reserved for boys, Hoctavia and Ruth are two Ugandan girls with big dreams. They want to graduate to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
Documentary Feature/Featured
Bama Girl follows a young black woman's quest to become the 2005 Homecoming Queen at the University of Alabama, running against not only 15 other co-eds, but a strictly segregated Greek system, internal black politics, and, most ominously, a secret all-white association called 'The Machine' that has been controlling campus politics at the University for most of the past century. This is a film about black and white, about the Old South and the New South, and about an unexpected microcosm of electoral politics that mirrors much of what is happening across our country today. "Entertaining and provocative!" -- Salon.com.

The Lena Baker Story: Tichina Arnold In Person!
Breaking News! Tichina Arnold will be here for the World Premiere of The Lena Baker Story.

Bob Longino of the AJC praised Arnold's performance calling it "a strong, dramatic performance, showing off Arnold’s edgier side and stands in stark contrast to the comedic roles she often does for television."

Be sure to purchase your ticket for Opening Night.
