when cops become robbers

Civil Asset Forfeiture (CAF) is a law enforcement tool adapted in the 1980s for use in the American War on Drugs. In essence, CAF allows law enforcement agents at all levels of government to seize property they suspect was used in or resulted from a crime without proof or due process of law. Victims of CAF must prove the innocence of their property at their own expense, flipping the American legal principle of innocent until proven guilty on its head. In this feature documentary, we bring this corruption into the sunlight of public discourse through the stories of those trying to end it.

The Medicine Man Pharmacy presents: follow the silenced

For the past three years, a film crew has been intimately documenting the lives of everyday Americans who have been seriously injured immediately following their COVID-19 vaccination. In the process of documenting these diverse stories across the United States, the filmmakers uncovered a larger story behind a successful campaign to conceal the true scope of injuries from these vaccines.

What begins as a simple quest for appropriate medical care becomes an eye-opening journey that exposes the frightening reality behind the scenes of our nation’s healthcare system, federal regulatory agencies entrusted with our health and safety, and what has recently been described as “The Censorship Industrial Complex.”

THE PANTONE GUY

At 96 years old, Larry Herbert, known as “The Pantone Guy,” is a visionary whose revolutionary idea to standardize color remains largely unrecognized.

Directed by Patrick Creadon (Wordplay, Hesburgh), this compelling documentary features an exclusive interview with Larry himself, offering an intimate glimpse into the mind behind Pantone and his enduring impact on how we perceive and use color today.

Programmer’s note: AMERICAN COMIC contains crude humor and adult language.
