And She Could Be Next chronicles the campaigns of women of color candidates Stacey Abrams, Veronica Escobar, Lucy McBath, and Rashida Tlaib and other powerhouse women who are shaping the future with better representation in government. The expression ‘Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop’ never fit a group of people more aptly, and it’s a joy to see.

THE PUSHBACK (SXSW2020) – Review by Liz Whittemore

March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 Liz Whittemore 0 Comments AWFJ SXSW Project, kevin ford, Natasha Harper-Madison, political documentaries, texas, The Pushback, Veronica Escobar

“Politics as usual” no longer exists. The Pushback shines a light on the darkness of immigration reform failures. It shows us how small selfless acts can lead to huge changes. It explains why 2020’s election will be the single most important election of our history. This inspiring documentary is not just about Texas. It’s about humanity. We need it right now for inspiration to keep fighting.

We had to wait decades for Nicolas Cage's very first western (Butcher's Crossing) but then only 1 year for his second - #TheOldWays. @susangranger reviews the latest from @PrimeVideo: https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/20/the-old-ways-review-by-susan-granger/

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
