A journalist upends Japan’s entrenched codes of silence when she brings sexual assault charges against a well-connected member of the Japanese media elite. Against the wishes of many of those closest to her, Shiro Ito presses on with her case, bravely confronting an entire system. Her case becomes a landmark in Japan, and her choices a riveting reminder of the insidiousness of sexism and patriarchal oppression anywhere.

Angela Patton found a way for young girls whose fathers were incarcerated to connect: A prison-hosted dad/daughter dance. The event was about more than just the day. For the fathers, seeing the impact of their absence from their daughter’s lives provides an unrivaled emotional redemption opportunity. Working with co-director Natalia Rae to showcase the now annual program, Patton provides us with protagonists who face their deepest vulnerabilities with equal reserves of courage.
