THE PROGRAM
The Oscar-Nominated Short Documentaries highlight the power of human determination, courage, compassion and optimism. The slate features the three films CWC originally screened at noon on February 22 – Program A – which many were unable to attend. Also included is the Oscar Winner, "The Lady in #6." The films are NR (not rated) but suitable for all audiences, middle-school and older, i.e.: PG-13. ![]() Jeffrey Karoff, USA, 2013, 39 min. Melding Art and Architecture with an incredible amount of determination, and using only hand tools — shovel, trowel and wheelbarrow — environmental sculptor Ra Paulette digs cathedral-like, surrealistic art caves into the sandstone cliffs of New Mexico. Each creation takes him years to complete, each is a masterwork and each is on private property — meaning we'll never see his work, except in this film. ![]() Jason Cohen, USA, 2013, 23 min. 25 years ago a skinhead assaulted and severely beat a gay teenager. When they meet decades later, the process of repentance and forgiveness has a profound effect on both men. This fascinating human interest story demonstrates that human and fallible though we may be, we can face a nearly impossible decision and do the right thing. ![]() Edgar Barens, USA, 2013, 40 min. In the hospice unit of the Iowa State Penitentiary we share the final days of Jack Hall, an 82-year-old convicted murderer and decorated World War II combat veteran. A former violent drunk and racist, he dies with dignity in the arms of two African-American fellow inmates, volunteers who care for him with respect and compassion. One of the most powerful, poignant and reverent films you'll ever see. ![]() Music Saved My Life Malcolm Clark, Canada, 2013, 39 min. In this inspirational and uplifting story, 110-year-old Alice Herz Sommer, the world's oldest pianist and oldest Holocaust survivor, shares her secret for a long and happy life and the importance of an optimistic outlook, music, and laughter. |
