NYTimes Op Doc by Sameul Habib and Dan Habib. The path into adulthood is a precarious one for those with a disability. So Samuel Habib, 21, seeks out guidance from America’s most rebellious disability activists.
Post-Colonial Queer
PBS Point of View films from around the world that center on the LGBTQ experience.
- Reluctantly Queer: A young gay man from Ghana struggles to reconcile his sexuality and love for his mother through a series of letters in this deceptively simple yet powerful piece.
- Clash: Clash is a short experimental documentary critiquing the lack of diversity in on-screen representation in the U.K. today.
- Muxes: In the indigenous communities around the town of Juchitán, Mexico, the world is not divided simply into men and women. The local Zapotec people have made room for a third category, which they call “muxes”—men who consider themselves women and live in a socially sanctioned limbo between the two genders.
The Queen of Basketball
NYTimes Op Doc by Ben Proudfoot.
Lusia Harris led her team to three national championships, scored the first basket
in women’s Olympic history and was officially drafted by the New Orleans Jazz in 1977.
