More than any other black musician of the later 20th century, Miles Davis challenged the dominant culture. He broke boundaries as a black man and lived life on his own terms. It made him a star. For the people who loved him most, it also made him incredibly difficult to live with. In music and in life, Miles broke with convention. Miles’s bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive, and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music—from bebop to “cool jazz,” modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock ’n’ roll, and hip-hop. (115 mins)

Three years in the making, the filmmakers had just finished editing I Found it at the Video Store when they heard the heartbreaking news that Naro Video would be shutting its doors within the month. The documentary movingly chronicles Tim Cooper and Linda McGreevy’s devotion to the store they purchased in 1996, which opened with a modest collection of several hundred movies, to its becoming one of America’s most extraordinary film collections of over 43,000 titles. The film also documents Naro Video’s transition from retail store to nonprofit organization, the inspiring support of the Hampton Roads community who rallied to its defense in 24 hours with an amazing Kickstarter campaign, and of course the beloved staff whose warmth and film knowledge made us feel as though they were family.

A democracy should protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable among them, but increasingly the United States is failing to do so. American workers in the Rust Belt, where the steel industry once flourished, have experienced closures and outsourcing brought on by Washington’s neoliberal policies. It’s here that Donald Trump finds some of his most fervent supporters. Journalist Chris Hedges, author Cornell West, and Canadian philosopher John Ralston Saul propose that the crisis predates Donald Trump’s election by many years. They regard Trump as the symptom rather than the disease. Decades ago, lobbyists and corporatism took control in Washington, gradually undermining the will of the people. Journalist and author Naomi Klein (Everything Must Change) recently described Trump’s administration as a “corporate coup d’état”. This provocative new documentary argues that the real coup took place long before. (90 mins)
