Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons

An eye opening documentary, "Skin Deep: The Battle Over Morgellons," explores perhaps one of the most mysterious skin diseases, Morgellons. With the skincare industry booming, and a collective eye on the mental health industry, the film is timely and informative. The big debate behind this hard-to-understand disease, Morgellons, is whether it is a physical or psychological syndrome. With a possible link to Lyme disease patients claim their skin to be irritated and many doctors believe that the irritation is actually psychological. "Skin Deep" is interesting and compelling as nurses, doctors, victims and patients chime in presenting research and their own beliefs regarding this rare disease. Who is delusional, the patients experiencing this disease or the doctors that can't find anything to back a skin disease?

Billboard

Set to premier in theaters next month (April 5), "Billboard" is a cinematic experience like no other. Commenting on the way we consume entertainment, news and life in general, Billboard shows the power of media. Whether it be radio, television, social media, a billboard, whatever, this film displays the effects of how words can be warped, how fake news can be born, and how the people can run with words taken out of context. A Must-See, the film takes place in the Allentown, Pennsylvania and follows an independent radio station that is trying to stay afloat. With a “Billboard Sitting Contest,” the station draws attention and advertisers to continue to exist. Soon after, the contest sours in the eyes of the public and becomes negative news, upsetting the community and it’s newfound followers. A satire, yet serious, this film exposes the ability for humans to come to conclusions without all of the needed information and the judgements that follow. An interesting look at the power of every medium for media and how they can effect society.

Behind The Bullet

Beyond powerful, "Behind The Bullet" is a documentary that follows four different stories of four different people who were at some point “behind the bullet.” From different backgrounds and parts of the map, the moral of all of their stories is very much the same: that immense regret and sorrow can follow can follow just one shot from a gun  and how that one shot can be so very life changing. In this political climate, and with many people fighting for and against gun control law, this film proves its importance  While gun control is far from the films focus, "Behind The Bullet" explores the humanity and the human interest stories that are derived from one's life after such an encounter with just one bullet. Gun safety and education break through as main messages, as well as the understating of how life altering just one shot can be. Having premiered earlier this year at Sundance Film Festival, this moving film is already one to be considered during next year's award season.
