When 18-year-old South African runner Caster Semenya burst onto the world stage in 2009, her championship was not celebrated but marred by doubt in her veracity as "a woman."This film focuses on four remarkable athletes who have been forced out of competition by new regulations, posing questions of bodily autonomy and human rights in the world of sports that are exceedingly timely today.

LITTLE RICHARD: I AM EVERYTHING
Sat. Apr 29 @ 6:15 PM | Oriental Theatre: Abele Cinema
Thursday, May 4 @ 1:30 PM | Avalon Theater

Exploding the whitewashed American rock n' roll canon revealing the Black queer originator at its center - Richard Penniman. This collection of photos, performance footage, interviews of family, peers, and trailblazing Black and queer scholars reveals how Richard created an art form as an ultimate act of self-expression.
