Full Circle
— An artist and elder's journey to learn his own culture —
As a Karuk elder born with disabilities, Franklin was told he couldn't do what he wanted, which only motivated him to do just that, to speak his native language.
We Exist
—An intimate look on the current generation of Hobos and why so tough to grow old—
Dunsmuir locals reflect on the train industry’s impact on this small forgotten railroad town, while 30 year old Sweet Bean Selene fights for her hobo community of gay, trans, and queer friends to survive to be elders.
The Wild Ones
—Untamed stories of Hornbrook's wild residents & how they band together—
Together in the shrunken and rural town of Hornbrook lives a slice of the Wild West with a spectrum of wild individuals, wild horses, and wild fires with a vision for how to help each other.
Byrds of a Feather
—The story of Charlie Byrd; California's first Black Sheriff from Lincoln Heights in Weed—
Friends and family members talk about the late Charlie Byrd, the first Black sheriff in California; the birth and loss of the cultural Black neighborhood of Lincoln Heights in Weed, and what it’s like being Black in Siskiyou County
