Why watch this film?
In 2020, the murder of George Floyd by American police shocked the world. To seek justice, Floyd's family relied on the support of Benjamin Crump, a civil rights lawyer who gained fame after getting involved in the most catastrophic cases of police brutality against African Americans in the United States. His figure portrayed in the documentary 'Civil: Ben Crump' not only gives us a glimpse of his public and private life, but also serves as an extremely revealing work about the abuses, violence and deprivation of rights that the black community in the US is subjected to.

After Maria
Presented at the Tribeca Film Festival, ‘After the Maria Hurricane’ is a documentary short film that captures the difficulties of families displaced by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, forced to live in small shelters and adapt to uncertainty. Emotional and powerful, it shows the ongoing indifference of the federal government to the sufferings of the people on the island. The direction is by Nadia Hallgren, an award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer.
Becoming
The first feature-length documentary directed by Nadia Hallgren (known for the short film 'After Maria', presented at the Tribeca Festival), 'Becoming' follows Michelle Obama during the promotional tour of her book 'Becoming' and, as such, is partially based on it. It should be noted that this feature is produced by Higher Ground Productions, the Oscar-winning producer of 'American Factory', so it offers a somewhat favorable view of the former First Lady of the United States. It is not a deep or revealing portrait of the protagonist, but her presence makes it a cheerful and inspiring documentary that reminds us of the challenges that women, especially black women, still have to face.

After the consequences of confinement and medical negligence, Rita returned to Mexico, where she lives with Juanita, her niece, and primary caregiver, in a context of precarious economic possibilities.
