CWC's popular annual event returns for the 17th year, bringing us five powerful Academy Award nominees plus a bonus film from Cincinnati filmmaker Andrea Torrice. All six films deal with life in America and three are close to home – Hillsboro, Cleveland and Huntington.
Past years' short docs were often more depressing than uplifting. But this year the slate is more balanced, with some inspiring, life-affirming looks at some of the key issues of our time – four by women, two by men – demonstrating the resiliency and triumph of the human spirit in overcoming adversity.
