THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 6PM: I HAVE A NAME

USA, 2023, 41 mins.

Director: Eric S. Vaughn

A poignant documentary that follows Jon Linton, an artist who lost a friend and colleague to addiction and homelessness. In an attempt to process what happened, Jon walked out into the world with his camera to open himself to the reality of what it is to be unhoused.

By compassionately observing the true social conditions of the culture around him, Jon finds personal human rights virtually non-existent on the streets - a people without even the dignity of their names. Each time, reaching what he feels is an end - true exhaustion - wondrous connections leave him feeling overcome with gratitude, hope and a deeply contemplative understanding of the potential for beauty that we all hold within ourselves.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 7:30PM: NO ONE ASKED YOU

USA, 2023, 100 mins.

Director: Ruth Leitman

In Ruth Leitman's NO ONE ASKED YOU, comedian, disruptor-extraordinaire Lizz Winstead (co-creator of The Daily Show), and Abortion Access Front crisscross the U.S. to support abortion clinic staff and bust stigma. Pop culture icons and next-gen comics fuel this six-year road film activating small-town folks to rebuild vandalized clinics, exposing wrongdoer politicians, anti-abortion extremists, and media neglect as the race to the bottom ensues.

The team stops at nothing to protect bodily autonomy, fighting misogyny with comedy to kick the government out of your pants. A bold call to action reminds us that even as our rights burn down, joy will prevail.
