Surf Nation

In Hainan, China’s southernmost province, hundreds of athletes as young as 9-years-old train as part of the Chinese National Surf team. The young recruits, who have left their families, feel the pressure of failure. Over the course of two years, the film follows two of the country's top surfers, Alex, 17, and Lolo, 22, as they train, compete, and discover what they want their lives to be.

La Lucha

In Bolivia, activists with disabilities risked everything for dignity. When pleas for a pension were ignored, they united in protest - trekking across the Andes in their wheelchairs. An inspiring journey followed, facing off against a government determined to silence them and a society indifferent to their struggle. But through cold, hunger, and vitriol, their resilience proved unstoppable.

Global Stories

America has long been called the melting pot of the world, a place where cultures intertwine and no two people are alike. Even as xenophobia remains a hindrance across the country, it's an accepted truth that international stories have impact in the United States. From immigrant rights to the Olympic Games, Americans are inherently connected to regions far and wide, the stories of these global communities serving to teach and remind us of our place in the world.
