Here's a look at the lineup, with descriptions as provided by IDA: Feature films The Anderson Monarchs Director: Eugene Martin The Anderson Monarchs is about a nationally competitive African American girls soccer club competing, living and thriving in an at-risk urban neighborhood in Philadelphia. Nominated in 2008 by Sports Illustrated as sports team of the year, they were also hailed as "the future of American Soccer" in the London newspaper, the Guardian. The Anderson Monarchs, like their namesake Marian Anderson, are making history. Their remarkable story brings them to a place they only ever imagined in their dreams. Defiant Requiem Director/producer/writer: Doug Shultz A memorial concert reawakens the story of an artistic uprising in the Nazi concentration camp, Terezin, where a chorus of 150 inmates confronts the Nazis face-to-face ... and sings to them what they dare not say. Digital Dharma: One Man's Mission to Save a Culture Director/producer/writer: Dafna Yachin When ancient writings of Sanskrit and Tibetan texts vanish during the political turmoil of the 1950s and 1960s, the history of a whole society is in danger of disappearing. Digital Dharma chronicles the 50-year journey of E. Gene Smith, a Mormon from Utah, the unlikely leader of an effort to rescue, preserve and share 20,000 volumes of ancient Tibetan text. It's the story of one man's mission that became the catalyst for an international movement to provide free access to the story of a people. Drought Director: Everardo González Residents from the ejido (communal land) Los Cuates de Australia in northeast Mexico every year stage a massive exodus to look for water during drought. In this exile, men, women, elders and children wait for the first drops of water to return to their lands, a metaphor of a small town that hides from death. "Garden in the Sea" (Jardín en el Mar) Director/writer: Thomas Riedelsheimer Garden in the Sea is a documentary about art, landscape and environment. Over a period of four years, the director followed Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias to the Mexican Sea of Cortez where she was commissioned to create an underwater sculpture that gradually would help enhance marine life. Expanding the form of a classic portrait, the film talks not only about the role of art but also about human passion, experiences and longings and makes the stunning beauty of our world tangible inviting us to care for it.
