Description

A block of the films nominated for Best Short Film (Documentary) at this year's Academy Awards.

Black Sheep - Ed Perkins
After the high-profile killing of Damilola Taylor, Cornelius' family move out of London. But when they discover their new town is run by racists, Cornelius takes a drastic step to survive.

End Game - Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman
Where will loved ones spend their last days? Who will be in the room? What feelings and secrets need to be shared with family before it is too late? End Game probes these questions and more as it follows visionary medical practitioners who are working on the cutting edge of life and death.

A Night at the Garden - Marshall Curry
In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from history. A Night at the Garden transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in America.

Lifeboat - Skye Fitzgerald
Volunteers from a German non-profit risk the waves of the Mediterranean to pluck refugees from sinking rafts pushing off from Libya in the middle of the night.

Period. End of Sentence - Rayka Zahtabchi and Melissa Berton
In a rural village outside Delhi, India, women lead a quiet revolution. They fight against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation. Period. End of Sentence tells their story.
