Description:
DIGITAL IMMIGRANTS - 21 min
"1984 - The home computer arrives in our living rooms and overruns a whole generation. Only those who master the new technology have a future. The computer splits society into "Digital Natives" and "Digital Immigrants".
2016 - A group of senior citizens is trying to adapt to the speed of computerization in order to find their place in the digital age. Their problem is ours: How long can we keep up with the rapid development?"

EXILED - 32 min
EXILED tells the stories of two deported US military veterans living in Tijuana. Stuck in Mexico, Army combat veteran Mauricio Hernandez struggles to find adequate treatment for his severe PTSD, while former paratrooper Hector Barajas fights to reunite with his daughter in LA, and raise awareness about deported veterans.

KAYAYO, THE LIVING SHOPPING BASKETS - 32 min
In the capital of Ghana, 10,000 girls from the ages of 6 work as real life shopping baskets - called Kayayo, carrying heavy loads on their head (from 130 to 220 pounds), earning very little and some end up in prostitution to make ends meet.
This documentary is about Bamunu, an 8-year old girl who hasn't seen her family since she was sent away from home two years ago to work as a Kayayo to support her family.
We follow her incessant longing to get away from the harsh markets, her journey back home and what awaits there.
