*MICHIGAN PREMIERE* THIS TEACHER follows a French Muslim woman as she travels to NYC to visit her childhood best friend. When the reunion proves disastrous, she disappears to a remote cabin upstate but discovers that she’s not alone. Her sojourn in nature descends into a terrifying study of the intolerance and suspicion she encounters and reflects back to an Islamophobic America.

*MICHIGAN PREMIERE* FREEDOM FIELDS follows three women and their football team in post-revolution Libya, as the country descends into civil war and the utopian hopes of the Arab Spring begin to fade. An intimate film about hope, struggle and sacrifice in a land where dreams seem a luxury. A love letter to sisterhood and the power of team.

*MICHIGAN PREMIERE* For most of the 20th century, government agents systematically forced Native American children from their homes and placed them with white families. Now, for the first time, they are being asked to share their stories.
