Here’s a war story you haven’t heard before — undoubtedly because it’s the story of Black women who signed up to serve. Even at the height of WWII, the 6888 battalion wasn’t taken seriously by the generals — to the mounting frustration of its commander, Major Charity Adams (Kerry Washington). When an assignment finally arrives, at first it seems disappointing, even disrespectful. In truth, it would prove both enormously challenging and impactful. Tyler Perry’s inspirational drama illuminates an overlooked slice of history.

Left-Handed Girl
Co-written and edited by Sean Baker (Anora), Shi-Ching Tsou's heartwarming solo feature debut follows a single mom in Taipei who is too consumed with her noodle stand to keep tabs on her five-year-old daughter's burgeoning shoplifting habit.
The Librarians
Dispatches from the front line of America's culture wars (and ours too): librarians speak out about the war against ideas, history, freedom of expression and sexual identity, a campaign in which an open mind is the ultimate enemy.
Caravaggio
In the latest from Exhibition on Screen, co-directors David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky shed light not only on Caravaggio's paintings, but his life, often kept half-hidden in the same chiaroscuro tones he shaded his masterpieces with.
Train Dreams
A lovely, ruminative movie set in the Pacific Northwest in the first half of the last century. Robert (Joel Edgerton) is a lumberjack, a taciturn man who comes to appreciate the life slipping between his fingers.
