Key of G

"Those who know him can only speculate about how 22-year-old Gannet experiences the world. Gannet ("G") lives with Mowat-Wilson syndrome: a rare genetic condition that challenges communication between the right and left sides of the brain. When G moves out of his mom's house into an apartment with friends who will be his round-the-clock caregivers, everyone anticipates a painful transition. But in this house of young artists and musicians, G gets to experience life with people who grasp the poignant dichotomy of his extraordinary strengths and his heartbreaking fragility."--Container insert.

October country

"October Country is a beautifully rendered portrait of an American family struggling for stability while haunted by the ghosts of war, teen pregnancy, foster care and child abuse. A collaboration between filmmaker Michael Palmieri and photographer and family member Donal Mosher, this vibrant and penetrating documentary examines the forces that unsettle the working poor and the violence that lurks beneath the surface of American life. Every family has its ghosts. The Mosher family has more than most. Shot over a year from one Halloween to the next, the film creates a stunning cinematic portrait of a family who are unique but also sadly representative of the struggles of America's working class. The film was created to be both a universal story of family struggle and a socially conscious portrait of compelling, articulate individuals grappling with the forces that tear at their homes and relationships"--Publisher's website.
