Join the Club – Kip Andersen and Chris O’Connell
Kip Andersen and Chris O’Connell (USA), Join the Club, Doc Feature – From the visionary director of Cowspiracy comes a poignant doc that transcends mere storytelling and unfolds like a captivating feature film. “Join the Club” embarks on an odyssey through the pivotal LGBTQ+ rights movement of the 20th century, narrating Dennis Peron’s courageous advocacy for cannabis as compassionate medicine amidst the harrowing AIDS crisis of the 1990’s in San Francisco.

With unwavering resolve and the support of allies like grandmother and hospital volunteer “Brownie Mary”, Peron pioneered compassionate care through cannabis, defying the dehumanizing war on drugs and brutal police raids. His towering legacy, marked by selfless dedication and ultimately landmark legislation that changed the world by legalizing marijuana, it stands as a testament to the power of compassion in the face of adversity. “Join the Club” is tale of unwavering compassion and resilience that is both poignant and uplifting. Premiered at Tribeca. Aum Films. From Executive Producers Emmy-nominated Aaron Ohlmann and David Clair.

Judging Juries – Abby Ginzberg
Abby Ginzberg (USA), Judging Juries, Doc Short – Peabody-winner Ginzberg consistently delivers a master-class in documentary production – having produced award-winning documentaries about race and social justice for over 30 years. “Judging Juries” tackles the alarming jury diversity crisis and exposes how the absence of African American jurors skews verdicts and sentencing, leaving many defendants without a fair trial. In Oakland, CA, there are often no Black jurors, and the meager $15 daily juror pay in California makes service unattainable for many.
