Synopsis
Before the Lighthouse
Exploring the formative figures and defining events of the wind swept island of Chincoteague during a period of rapid change. Set between the late 18th century and the period just before the construction of the lighthouse.
Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
During the same summer as Woodstock, over 300,000 people attended the Harlem Cultural Festival, celebrating African American music and culture, and promoting Black pride and unity. The footage from the festival sat in a basement, unseen for over 50 years, keeping this incredible event in America's history lost — until now.
