The Goldfish
By Shuping Yang, Directed by Olivia Brann

Enter the mind of a Chinese son, “the golden child,” as he struggles between traditional Confucian values and Western notions of individuality. When his cousin Li Yi visits him the night before his wedding, Xiao Zhong is faced with a series of life changing decisions that will affect his family, his relationships, and his future. Is he really free? Or is he just a goldfish stuck in a bowl?

B.W.A. (Black Woman’s Anonymous)
By Whitney Geohagan and April Monu

Malcolm X once said, “The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman, the most unprotected person in America is the Black woman, the most neglected person in America is the Black woman.”

B.W.A (Black Woman’s Anonymous) explores what it means to be an African American woman in America, addressing deep-seated issues these women face.
