The Black West: A Counter History Of The Wild West

It is one of the West’s most powerful myths. The story of how the American West was won - by great heroes and white men. BLACK WEST tells the flip side of that myth. In 1875, one of four American cowboys was Black—Black sheriffs, Black trappers and Black soldiers. Some were adopted by Native American tribes, while others became slaves. These anonymous heroes were the inspiration for many great Westerns; yet Hollywood has erased them from the silver screen. Pieced together from archives, carefully crafted re-enactments and first-hand historical accounts, BLACK WEST restores these invisible heroes to their rightful place in history.

Cured

As the global LGBTQ community continues battling for civil rights and faces ongoing stigma, discrimination, and violence, the documentary CURED provides invaluable context for what is arguably the most significant turning point in Gay Liberation history. Until 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) classified homosexuality as a mental illness. CURED sheds light on the little-known story of the LGBTQ activists who challenged the APA to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses — and won. The documentary combines eyewitness testimony with never-before-seen archival footage to depict this epic battle. CURED illuminates the strategy and tactics that led to this pivotal yet largely overlooked moment in the struggle for LGBTQ equality. Indeed, following the Stonewall uprising of 1969, the campaign that culminated in the APA’s 1973 decision marks the first major step on the path to first-class citizenship for LGBTQ Americans — and a giant step forward for LGBTQ people worldwide, reframing not only how this community was seen but also how it sees itself.
