Orphaned at twelve, Fred Ssewamala returns to Uganda with a bold plan
to help orphans save for their futures, instilling a glint of suubi
(hope). If his plan succeeds, societies will embrace asset- based
empowerment similar to his -- born in Uganda, like Fred. But if not,
what future do they have to bank on?

Who is Paco Gomez
Dance is the way that Paco Gomez bridges the geographical and cultural
distance between his new home in San Francisco and his history in
Brazil. This visually rich, musically intoxicating film follows Paco
as he makes his first visit back to Brazil with his dance troupe to
teach and perform for the community that made him who he is today.
