The Unmaking of a College delves into the 2019 crisis at Hampshire College when students led a 75-day sit-in—the longest in American college history—at the new president's office to thwart her underhanded attempt to give up the independence of one of the most experimenting colleges in the United States.

Sundance triple award winner HIVE is a searing drama based on the true story of Fahrije, who has battled grief and financial struggle since her husband went missing during the war in Kosovo. In hope of providing for her family, she launches a business selling hot pepper preserves, a controversial act of independence that scandalizes her patriarchal village. Amid doubts of her husband’s return, she struggles not only to keep her family afloat but against a hostile community who seeks to violently undermine the independence and sisterhood she is determined to gain.
