Completed in 2018, NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL is a uniquely poetic and truthful documentary about one of the darkest and most seminal political historical events of the start of the 21st century: the founding of a zone of exclusion within the Eurozone. The end of March 2018 marks the second anniversary of the ruling body of the Eurozone radically revising its policy regarding undocumented migrants arriving on the Aegean shores of Greece. At that time the European Commission declared undocumented migrants arriving on the Aegean islands would be sent back to Turkey. We were there a few weeks later with our camera on Lesvos-the main point of entry-interviewing people experiencing for the first time camps that had been constructed for the purpose of processing people transformed into concentration camps where people are held today indefinitely. Europe was where the formulation les droits de l'homme et du citoyen, "the rights of the human being and of the citizen" was first declared. The long history and breakdown of this formulation witnessed by NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL, the incredible compassion of the volunteers, the conflicting responses of the people living on the island-many of them descended themselves from refugees-and the refugees themselves, all of whom are interviewed individually or as part of their families, create a uniquely profound film that will remain a vital record of this major confrontation between the principles on which Europe was founded and its current choices.

As the United States recovered from the bloody aftermath of the Civil War, Congress passed the Reorganization Act in 1866, that created the first-ever all-Black peacetime regiments. These six regiments would be reduced to four - the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry - and soon earn the moniker Buffalo Soldiers. Although they never received the true and full recognition they deserved, Black Patriots: Buffalo Soldiers, will tell their remarkable story of their valor, bravery, and service. From the complicated skirmishes in the Southwest against Native Americans to the heroic battles on foreign soil to the ongoing fight to be treated as first-class citizens, the Buffalo Soldiers served with pride, dignity, and belief in defending a free America. This one-hour documentary introduces viewers to men, many of whom were formally enslaved, like George Jordan, who will learn to read and write in the Army and rise to the position of Sergeant and receive the Medal of Honor. Other significant figures include Horace Bivins and George Berry, who will upstage Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War; and Sgt. Henry Flipper, the first African American to graduate from West Point. However, with all the medals and valor on the battlefield, the Buffalo Soldiers were not immune to racism and professional setbacks. Soldiers like Colonel Charles Young, the third African American to graduate from West Point, will advance to Colonel but fall short of becoming the first Black General. With the help of military experts, historians, and Buffalo Soldiers' descendants, and supported with historic photography and documents, and original illustrations, Black Patriots: The Buffalo Soldiers recalls an important time in American history, spotlighting the soldiers that played a pivotal role in shaping and protecting the Nation. Their acts of resilience on and off the battlefield paved the way for future generations of African American military men and women. Their empowering story is as relevant today as it was over a century ago.
