  • Water Cooler: As ICE agents wait to arrest their targets outside of immigration courtrooms, their banal conversations clash with the severity of their actions.
  • Fragments of Herstory: Hsu Hui-Ju, a documentary filmmaker, stitches together the bittersweet, unspoken emotions between mothers and daughters to heal generational family wounds.
  • Forgotten Spaceman: In 1988, Afghanistan sent its first and only astronaut into space, a journey that proved returning home could be harder than reaching the stars.
