Eternal Spring

1 hr 26 mins

In March 2002, a state TV station in China was hijacked by members of the outlawed spiritual group Falun Gong. Their goal was to counter the government narrative about their practice. In the aftermath, police raids sweep Changchun City, and comic book illustrator Daxiong (Justice League, Star Wars), a Falun Gong practitioner, is forced to flee. He arrives in North America, blaming the hijacking for worsening violent repression. But his views are challenged when he meets the lone surviving participant to have escaped China, now living in Seoul, South Korea. Combining present-day footage with 3D animation inspired by Daxiong's art, Eternal Spring retraces the event on its 20th anniversary and brings to life an unprecedented story of defiance, harrowing eyewitness accounts of persecution, and an exhilarating tale of determination to speak up for political and religious freedoms, no matter the cost.

My Hero the Hitman

1 hr 30 mins

Much of the world only knows Shane Stant as a villain. He swung the baton that struck Nancy Kerrigan in 1994. This event would change the face of figure skating forever. We take a journey through the eyes of his sister, Maile; who only knew him for his compassion, inspiration and unconditional love - her hero. Maile Stant was only 3 years old when the attack happened and only knows the person her brother became after this event. Their connection is deep and consummate, but Maile has never asked Shane about who he was before 1994 and what took place that day at Cobo Arena - until now. This is a story about judgment and perspective. Often we see and portray people one-dimensionally as either "good" or "bad." It's convenient and efficient to quickly assign roles of "victim," "villain" or "hero." In this documentary, with a new perspective and by witnessing this loving relationship, we humanize someone that the world had long ago deemed simply a "villain." To see Shane's positive influence on his sister (raising her from the age of 6) and his transformation after the 1994 Nancy Kerrigan attack, is to know that he is more than his worst act. Through their story we gain insight into our own lives and our own judgments, as we are reminded that we are all, at different moments, to different people - victims, villains and heroes.
