*Councilwoman Castillo*
Directed by Margo Guernsey

Councilwoman Carmen Castillo, a chambermaid from the Dominican Republic, who has been cleaning hotel rooms for over nineteen years and is likely the first hotel housekeeper to hold public office.

She wants to bring jobs for her neighborhood, but is disillusioned to find that lobbyists have a stronger voice than voters at City Hall. Castillo is up for re-election in 2014. Who will run against her and what will their agenda be? This is a story about grassroots power and democracy in city government. Who participates and on what terms?

Directed by Marlene McCurtis

In the summer of 1964, a quiet revolution began in Mississippi when a group of Black and White women reached across the chasm of race, class, geography, and religion to help end segregation in America. This quiet revolution, called ‘Wednesdays in Mississippi,’ is a story of courage, danger, and transformation that has never been told.

The film follows clinic owners June Ayers, and Diane Derzis and Dr. Willie Porter, one of only a few doctors courageous enough to perform abortions in the Deep South.
