The World is My Country (Documentary) July 15
Martin Sheen introduces the daring, controversial and decades-ahead-of-his-time World Citizen #1, Garry Davis -- a song and dance man from the golden age of Broadway who ignited a movement that culminated in 1948 when the United Nations unanimously passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. His amazing story - with Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Camus, John Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and more -- would be unbelievable were not every step documented by archival footage. In his final performance, at age 91, Garry presents a unique and practical vision for how, as world citizens, we can now fix our world. Albert Einstein said Garry “grasps the key to whether humanity “will disappear by its own hand or continue to exist.”

Change, Not Charity: America Disabilities Act July 28 (Documentary)
Change, Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act tells the emotional and dramatic story of the decades-long push for equality and accessibility that culminated in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. While curb cuts, ramps at building entrances, and braille on elevator buttons seem commonplace today, they were once the subject of a pitched battle that landed on the steps of Congress. Told through the voices of key participants and witnesses, the film highlights the determined people who literally put their bodies on the line to achieve their goal and change the lives of all Americans. A story of courage and perseverance, the film brings to life one of the great civil rights movements in American history, where ordinary people made their voices heard and Congress responded. A testament to the power of coalition building and bipartisan compromise, the passage of the ADA is a shining example of democracy in action.
