bobrauschenbergamerica is a fantastical road trip through the American landscape, written as Robert Rauschenberg, one of America's greatest artists, might conceive it.

Directed by John Mariano

These Shining Lives
By Melanie Marnich
Buy Tickets for These Shining Lives
In the mid 1920’s watch faces were painted using radium paint by women considered expendable by their employers. Serious health problems, including cancer, led to a lawsuit in which the company attempted to cover up the effects of the now dying “Radium Girls.” This story chronicles the strength and determination of women who refused to allow the company to kill their spirits- or endanger the lives of those who come after them.
