It all begins when a man named Phil Campbell from Brooklyn, NY learns of the town's existence through an episode of Hee Haw. Phil then decides to organize a convention in the town for all the other people in the world that share the name of Phil Campbell. They are Phil, Felipe, Phyllis, Philomena, Philippa, Philippe, Philip, Phillip - well, you get the idea - Campbells, who live all over the world, from San Jose California to Bowral, Australia, and back to Kingston, Jamaica. They represent every political stripe, every hobby you can imagine, a wide range of religious beliefs, practically every English accent you can think of, plus quite a few more languages, from German to French-Canadian to Latino Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. And, as an honorary Phil Campbell, we have Hollywood actor Jason Biggs, who plays the role of a Phil Campbell in the film "Grassroots." The Phils of the world have just one organizer and no real leader, but at least they have a clear destination in the town of Phil Campbell, AL. Or at least they think they do...

- Kenya has long been considered Africa's success story-relatively stable and ethnically harmonious. But following their December 2007 Presidential election, everything changed. Voting controversy split the country along ethnic lines, pushing Kenya to civil war. The international community intervened, a fragile peace was brokered, and a Truth and Reconciliation framework put in place. But as ethnic suspicion and violence continue to paralyze the country, many dismiss these actions as hollow political theatre. An alternative local response is the creation of a taboo-breaking TV soap opera, "The Team," following the struggles of a co-ed multi-ethnic soccer squad to overcome their differences, both on and off the pitch. There's inherent drama behind any TV production: will deadlines be met; will it be good? But here the stakes are exponentially higher: if you don't captivate an audience, you risk further losing your country. "The Team" is an intense, character-driven documentary offering a unique look at youth culture and popular media, following characters on and off the set, exploring how lives are reflected in the soap, and vice-versa. What can a soap opera achieve in a place desperate for change but teetering on the brink? Watch and see.

- Skyrocketing straight out of 1979 Chicago obscurity into international super-stardom is Lee Honcho: time traveling "jew rocker." The principal subject of clandestine time travel experimentation under the supervision of Baron Von Lufkin and the Swiss Institute, Lee underwent a battery of tests and procedures in preparation for travel into the future in order to help unlock the mysteries of the space-time continuum. Though schooled on the laws of time travel, Lee ignored and/or defied every last explicit instruction and instead elected to chart his own course. After becoming an enormous celebrity on an alien planet in the year 2113 - or so he claims - one night of debauchery and excess sent Honcho reeling back through time. He picked up some passengers along the way - Hector Desrosiers in 1988 and Truman McPate in 1996 - and eventually settled in Boston in the year 2004. Haunted by the loss of his celebrity status, Lee did what anyone destined for immortal greatness would do: he became the host of a local cable-access talk show. Miraculously, the combination of an offbeat but charismatic cast of characters, bizarre guests and subject matter - and a technologically-inept crew - resulted in a groundswell of buzz, turning "House of Honcho" into a juggernaut (if not a train wreck) that - in turn - turned Lee into an overnight international TV sensation. Not far behind came the arrival of Von Lufkin and his colleagues, who - after years of painstaking research - located their former lab rat. Unbeknownst to Lee, though masked behind Machiavellian smiles, it was now the intention of Von Lufkin to use and abuse him for his ever expanding ingenious but egotistical purposes. If only he could control Lee and his crew, things would surely run a lot more smoothly.

- My Eyes Were Fresh: The Life and Photographs of John Gutmann chronicles the life and work of one of the seminal figures of twentieth-century photography. Gutmann, who was part of the German Jewish diaspora that helped transform American intellectual and artistic life starting in the 1930s, had a singular gift for creating powerful and often iconic images with compelling emotional content. His visual embrace of the cultural and social landscape of his adopted country is richly detailed in his work and in this seductive film. The film allows Gutmann to present his own story as well as the context for his works through a series of six interviews that resonate with his personality. He narrates the story of his early fascination with art and his almost accidental introduction to photography as a powerful medium. He also outlines the many decades he spent practicing his craft as the stormy "American Century" unfolded and his new home emerged as a powerful center of culture. Gutmann served as a vibrant link between the European modernism of the early twentieth-century and the burgeoning artistic culture of the San Francisco Bay Area in the second half of the century. His influence can be seen today in the works of many celebrated photographs. My Eyes Were Fresh profiles an artist and teacher who made a lasting contribution to the history of modern photography. It is also a vivid portrait of the development of a unique artistic sensibility one born out of the distinctive milieu of modern German-Jewish culture in Breslau and Berlin and shaped by the politics, the popular culture, and the emerging native modernism of the United States.

- For three decades and counting, the city of Fayetteville, Arkansas has provided a channel for its citizens to produce television shows or just speak their minds.

But in this city, it refuses to die. The Open Channel is an introduction into this world of homemade television where content is uncensored, idiosyncratic and the residents have a lot to say. Filmmaker Niketa Reed shares clips from long-standing shows and historical programming that has aired at the station along with interviews from seven community producers from different walks of life.
- On the evening of April 23rd, 2006, Emmy award-winning Reed Cowan was the on-call reporter for Salt Lake City's affiliate KTVX. That Sunday night, he was paged to the scene of a child's hanging. When he rushed to the street where the news scene played out, he found the nightmare he was paged to report on, was his own. Cowan's four year old son Wesley had fallen from a horizontal set of monkey bars in to the path of a trapeze, dying instantly. As Cowan wailed in grief, cameras were rolling. It was in that gut-wrenching moment that Reed Cowan went from reporting the news to being the news. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LENS opens up the most raw and personal feelings of a TV news reporter conflicted by the realities of sensationalized TV news and the feelings of a father tortured by his son's brutal death. The film follows Reed Cowan over a two-year period of self-exploration, self-documentation and self-liberation as he and others work to save the lives of children caught up in Kenya's 2008 post-election violence and ethnic cleaning. Brave, bold and brutal, this film shows the life and evolution of a journalist, a father and en emerging humanitarian.
