Spirit of Man

95 years ago, Charles Lindbergh became the world’s first media superstar after his historic solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis airplane. Donald Hall, the engineer who designed the plane, has largely been forgotten despite his aviation accomplishments soaring beyond Spirit’s 60-day build. The era has striking similarities to present day, especially surrounding commercial spaceflight. The documentary features never-before seen historical pieces and rarely seen film footage restored in 4K.

SKIHAD

Besides insecurity issues, airport burying snowstorms, avalanche danger, mud slides, sketchy mountain roads, along with camel fights, buzkashi and getting high on the Silk Road are just some of the highlights.

A co-production with director Tyler Batson revisiting the deadly Kenyan post-election violence of 2007 and sharing the stories of those striving to give peace a chance. Since its release, the film has become an instrument for peace movements in Kibera, one of the largest African slums and the epicenter for 2007’s uproar.
