- A group of birds one by one travel to a Hill for a giant gathering where a special Bird, Iesodo, is said to speak. Iesodo is said to have all the answers, heal the sick, love the poor and all outcast of birds. Iesodo is being hunted though by the Hopis, a type of bird group that are protective of the lake where the giant gathering is occurring and a black Raven constantly tries to tempt Iesodo to do bad. Iesodo changes many of the birds lives and shows them that any dream is possible if they believe.
- For 30 years, Shige Suganuma and Chico Kodama, two Japanese/Japanese American hot rodders, helped save Moon Equipment Company, an iconic American speed parts company, rebrand it as Mooneyes, preserve legendary founder Dean Moon's legacy, and popularize hot rod culture in Asia. As Asian/Asian American pioneers in their industry, they battled against racism and xenophobia and ultimately created a global following. Now, Shige is attempting to grow hot rod culture despite declining interest in hot rods, and Chico is handcrafting a new race car to try to break a second land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats.
- Despite its huge impact, art education is often one of the first programs to be cut, especially when the economy is hard hit. 'Art Recession' explores the importance of art education, showing how it teaches us to communicate, develops our critical thinking skills, helps us to learn other subjects, expresses our individualism, enriches our culture, builds our society, and ultimately conveys our humanity. This documentary then offers powerful ways to save it.
- In "Journey of a Paper Son," an elderly Chinese man, who's dying from cancer, shocks his family when he reveals that he's a "paper son" (one who immigrated to the U.S., using fake documents and claiming he was the son of an American citizen) and asks them for a final wish to change back his name. His request threatens to tear apart his family, testing the limits of their love. We discover that he's just one of countless "paper sons" who were born from the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first federal law to restrict immigration to the U.S. based on race or nationality.
