Reel Life
The only thing Simon Lewis ever wanted to do was to make movies. But when he found himself lost in what seemed like a tragic script, he knew his only option was to try and write himself out.
Simon Lewis’ book, Rise and Shine, is about recovery from brain injury and it is absolutely fantastic. His TED talk is also worth checking out. Thank you so much to the Rumpus and Chris Colin’s piece for The Atavist.

Producer: Stephanie Foo


Dance Dance Revolution
A young professional belly dancer dreams of an invitation like this. Michelle Joyce is just starting out in the big world of Arabic Dance when she gets an email inviting her to dance a New Year’s Eve show at a big-time hotel in central India. It only involved one small lie.

Producer: Anna Sussman
