- When a young woman is shot by an undocumented immigrant, on Pier 14 in San Francisco, the incident ignites a political and media furor that transforms an election. In the eye of this storm, two public defenders fight to reveal the truth.
- Adachi represents a young African American man who is charged with assaulting police officers after being falsely accused of a crime in a case with racial overtones. In this era of mass incarceration and police shootings of young African American men, how do we, as a society, grapple with the issues of racism and implicit bias in policing and its consequences for those who question police authority? The film also follows the Public Defender's public battle to allow his office to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings in post-Trump America. Over 1,000 immigrants in the San Francisco immigration court are detained without lawyers; Adachi and other city leaders mobilize the community to support an initiative to provide public defenders to poor immigrants and their families.
- America Needs a Racial Facial is a short, 8 minute film about race in America. It provides a blur of fascinating images and video - historical and contemporary - depicting both the division and blending that has characterized the history and treatment of people of color in this country. Beginning with this country's history of slavery and discrimination against African Americans, eradication and colonization of Native Americans, exclusion of Asian Americans and exploitation of Mexican and Latin Americans, Racial Facial depicts a visual panorama which encompasses the history of oppression and discrimination that has led to continuation of tension, unrest and anger among all Americans.
