Director Penny Lane’s decision to become a “good Samaritan” by giving one of her kidneys to a stranger turns into a funny and moving personal quest to understand the nature of altruism. This film is a provocative inquiry into the science, history, and ethics of organ transplantation, asking an ancient question in a whole new way: Who is your neighbor, and what do you owe them?

In a hard-hitting sequel to their influential, Oscar-nominated film, Food, Inc., Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo once again drill into the root cause of the unsustainability of our food supply. Food, Inc. 2 comes “back for seconds” to reveal how corporate consolidation has gone unchecked by our government, leaving us with a highly efficient yet shockingly vulnerable food system dedicated only to increasing profits. Seeking solutions, the film introduces innovative farmers, food producers, workers’ rights activists, and prominent legislators such as U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester, who are facing these companies head-on and fighting tocreate a more sustainable future.

Famed French muralist JR heads to the ultraviolent Tehachapi Supermax California Prison, where he asks a group of 40 inmates — most of them lifers — to help him install a huge photo collage on the prison yard. By personally telling their stories on JR’s interactive website, many are surprised to restore long-broken relationships with their families and become more hopeful about their lives. Questioning the limits of the US carceral system, Tehachapi is a rare, illuminating and moving documentary, one that shows how art can be a decisive means to reintegration and rehabilitation.

According to artifacts and early European sailor accounts, Africans have been surfing for over a thousand years, from Senegal to Angola. Then why do we picture surfers as people of Northern European descent, whose ancestors never surfed?
