<p>&#8220;A mother wonders, will my children love their perfect machines more than they love me, their imperfect mother? She switches on a smart-crib lulling her crying baby to sleep.

<p>In a cluttered news landscape dominated by men, emerges India’s only newspaper run by Dalit women.

<p>&#8220;This immersive, episodic experience uses time travel and magical realism to pilgrimage through the evolution of racial violence in the U.S., making vital connections between the past and present. Episode 1 introduces the time travel portal—the Cracker House—and begins with a police altercation in a quiet suburb of modern-day New Jersey. The police altercation leads to mass incarceration and a slave warehouse, while hurtling toward a glimpse of a radiant post-racial utopia.&#8221; <br><strong><em>The Changing Same</em></strong> received a 2017 Impact and Innovation Grant, a past Chicken &amp; Egg Pictures program. You need a Desktop-tethered VR Headset to participate; learn more about the project <a href="https://fpg.festival.sundance.org/new-frontier-info/5fd1a28463d6776b7bc3aa68">here</a>. </p>

In the labyrinth of the cemetery, this film about violence without violence reminds us that, amid the turmoil of a drug war that has claimed more than 50,000 lives, ordinary existence persists in Mexico and quietly defies the dead.<br />

<p><a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/grantee/roll-red-roll/"><i>Roll Red Roll</i></a>, directed by Nancy Schwartzman will be the opening film for the new season, broadcasting <strong>June 17</strong> on all PBS stations and across its platforms and <a href="http://pov.org">pov.org</a> and <a href="http://amdoc.org">amdoc.org</a>.</p>
<p>In small-town Ohio, at a pre-season football party, a horrible incident took place. What transpired would garner national attention and result in the sentencing of two key offenders. As amateur crime blogger Alex Goddard uncovers disturbing evidence on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, documenting the assault of a teenage girl by members of the beloved high school football team, questions linger around the collusion of teen and adult bystanders. <em>Roll Red Roll </em>explores the complex motivations of both perpetrators and bystanders in this story, unearthing the attitudes at the core of their behavior. The Steubenville story acts as a cautionary tale of what can happen when adults look the other way and deny that rape culture exists. With unprecedented access to police documents, exhibits and evidence, the documentary feature unflinchingly asks: “why didn’t anyone stop it?”</p>

<div class="column">
<p>In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers hundreds of pages of declassified FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11—code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, <em>The Feeling of Being Watched</em> weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance.</p>

<p><em>Blowin’ Up</em> looks at sex work, prostitution, and human trafficking through the lens of New York State’s criminal justice system. The film captures the growing pains of our nation’s first human trafficking intervention court in Queens, New York, and how we define trafficking and prostitution from many different perspectives: the criminal justice system, the social welfare system, and, most importantly, the women and girls who are at the center of it all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The True/False Film Festival offers a four-day weekend of creative placemaking in which filmmakers, artists, musicians and others remake the mid-sized college town of Columbia, Missouri.</p>
<p>And we have some egg-cellent news! Four documentaries by Nest-supported filmmakers will be screening at the festival, happening from Thursday, February 28 to Sunday, March 3.</p>
<p><a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/american-factory.jpg" rel="lightbox[5866]"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-5867 size-full" src="https://chickeneggpics.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/american-factory.jpg" alt="" width="892" height="598" srcset="https://archive.chickeneggpics.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/american-factory.jpg 892w, https://archive.chickeneggpics.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/american-factory-608x408.jpg 608w, https://archive.chickeneggpics.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/american-factory-768x515.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 892px) 100vw, 892px" /></a><em>American Factory</em>, directed by Julia Reichert (2016 <a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/grantee/2016-breakthrough-award-recipient/">Chicken &amp; Egg Award</a> recipient) and Steve Bognar</p>
<p>Dizzying, hilarious and devastating, this tale of two factories makes for a landmark story of workplace anxiety. Directors Reichert and Bognar have spent a decade documenting the plight of Ohio&#8217;s factory workers, and their dedication pays off when they are given astonishing access to Fuyao, a Chinese auto glass manufacturer, as it revives a shuttered General Motors plant in Dayton.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nest-supported filmmakers are taking flight at the <a href="https://www.hsdfi.org/">Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival</a>, the oldest all-documentary festival in North America. Its 27th year will kick off on Friday, October 19 and run to Saturday, October 27 in Hot Springs, Arkansas.</p>
<p>Here are the Chicken &amp; Egg Pictures-supported films, filmmakers, and friends to see in Hot Springs.</p>
<p><a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/grantee/blowin-up/"><em>Blowin’ Up</em></a>, directed by Stephanie Wang-Breal</p>
<p>Monday, October 22 at  10:00AM, Cinema One.</p>
<p><em>Blowin’ Up</em> looks at sex work, prostitution, and human trafficking through the lens of New York State’s criminal justice system. The film captures the growing pains of our nation’s first human trafficking intervention court in Queens, New York, and how we define trafficking and prostitution from many different perspectives: the criminal justice system, the social welfare system, and, most importantly, the women and girls who are at the center of it all.</p>

<p>Wednesday, October 24 at 10:00 AM, Cinema Two.</p>
<p>Unraveling one of the biggest environmental scandals of our time, a group of citizens in West Virginia take on a powerful corporation after they discover it has knowingly been dumping a toxic chemical—now found in the blood of 99.7% of Americans—into the drinking water supply.</p>
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1538064424803_783"><a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/grantee/roll-red-roll/"><em>Roll Red Roll</em></a>, directed by Nancy Schwartzman</p>
<p>Saturday, October 20 at 2:30 PM, Cinema Two.</p>
<p>In small-town Ohio, at a pre-season football party, a horrible incident took place. What transpired would garner national attention and result in the sentencing of two key offenders. As amateur crime blogger Alex Goddard uncovers disturbing evidence on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, documenting the assault of a teenage girl by members of the beloved high school football team, questions linger around the collusion of teen and adult bystanders. <em>Roll Red Roll</em> explores the complex motivations of both perpetrators and bystanders in this story, to unearth the attitudes at the core of their behavior.</p>

<p>When America’s last standing roller rinks are threatened with closure, a community of thousands battle in a racially charged environment to save an underground subculture–-one that has remained undiscovered by the mainstream for generations, yet has given rise to some of the world’s greatest musical talent.</p>
<p><a href="http://radafilm.com/portfolio/racial-terror/"><em>The Changing Same</em></a>, directed by 2016 <a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/programs/#breakthrough-filmmaker-award">Breakthrough Filmmaker Award</a> recipient Michèle Stephenson and Joe Brewster*</p>

<p>&#8220;On October 26, 1934, Claude Neal was brutally lynched by a group of white men who stormed the county jail in Brewton Alabama where Neal was being held after being accused of the murder of a 20 year-old white woman, Lola Cannady. Every October 26, Lamar Wilson, a native of Marianna, Florida who now teaches English at the University of Alabama Birmingham, comes home to run a very particular marathon to commemorate the lynching of Claude Neal. Lamar retraces the route Claude Neal took on that fateful night where he ended up hanged on the courthouse grounds.&#8221;**</p>

<p>*Chicken &amp; Egg Pictures did not support <em>The Changing Same </em>directly but supported director Michèle Stephenson during her Breakthrough year, as well as Michèle and Joe&#8217;s VR project <a href="https://chickeneggpics.org/grantee/changing-same-the-untitled-racial-justice-project/"><em>Changing Same: The Untitled Racial Justice Project</em></a>, currently in production.</p>

Rose’s life changes drastically after the trauma of living out formative years inside a conflict zone. Through her eyes, viewers live out the greatest joys and most profound struggles from her adolescence to adulthood. Each moment is inextricably shaped by her upbringing—yet she is able to find strength in small interconnected moments with those she loves.<br />
Even as humanity continues to fail and harm each other, <em>Breathe</em> seeks to remind us of the solace we can find in our similarities; we are all human, and we are all connected.</span></p>
