We Made San Diego- For All

Directed by David Sawicki

Highlights the struggles and breakthroughs of Latinos, Chicanos and Mexican-Americans who helped create the San Diego that millions enjoy through short family-friendly videos made for all ages. Stories that inform, inspire and educate. Stories of resilience and perseverance. Stories of givers- not takers, who gave selflessly to all cultures.

Return Engagement

Directed by Trent Jones

Two World War II Veterans from the 8th Air Force – Captain Leland Spencer (100 Years Old) and Dave Moore (97 Years Old) – get together for one final toast, 80 years after they served on the same bomber in the air war over Europe.

Athenia’s Last Voyage

Directed by Meghan Courtney

On the first day of World War II, the British passenger ship, Athenia, was torpedoed by a German submarine without warning. This tragedy marked the start of the war in western Europe, yet few people have heard of Athenia or know of its extraordinary place in history.
