S1.E54 ∙ Michael Peterson Case: Mike Peterson Returns to Court - Part 1

A former US soldier ultimately finds her identity in wearing the veil, and despite societal prejudice, rises to become a vanguard of the American-Muslim community. She did it also with the support of her Imam, to whom she had proposed and now shares a family together.

Spit'in Anger is the exploration into the uncharted space of fatherlessness. Through the story of one of America's premier leaders in the responsible fatherhood movement--Kenneth Braswell--we learn that the filmmaker and healer is about to receive a lesson in healing himself. Experts Dr. Jeff Gardere, Iyanla Vanzant. Judge Mablean Ephriam and Terrie Williams lay the foundation for one of the most devastating social ills for black children in America; father absence. Today; 82.3% of African American children born since 1990, will live in a home without their biological fathers before their 18th birthday.

Give a book, take a book, return a book. A wooden box filled with books has become the seed that has ignited an international movement. The simple idea of placing a small wooden structure filled with books to share with anyone who happens by is the brainchild of Wisconsinites, Rick Brooks and Todd Bol. The Little Free Library idea quickly moved from concept to reality thanks to the thousands of stewards throughout the world. Little did they know the impact their idea would have on individuals, neighborhoods and the international community.

A young filmmaker presents his Danish mother and Nigerian father to the idea of the film he wants to make. We do not get to know what the idea is, but his suggestion to travel to Nigeria to visit his family's origins clearly unsettles them. His father has moved back, while Jide's mother lives in Denmark. But the drama takes place in the mutual understanding between the three, and never takes up more space than the impressions that meet Jide's camera when he arrives at his father's poultry. A calm and observant film, made with a young photographer's eye and feel for atmosphere. Ultimately a (self)portrait of Jide and his father - a likeable and taciturn man, who never really found a place in Denmark.
