Lisa, Take a look at "Come Hell or High Water" DVD from Bullfrog Films.
Description and trailer here: http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/chow.html "This intimate film tells a gigantic story - about race, about power, about so-called development. But it is also a saga of community, resilience, resistance, and hope. It's about everything that matters in our society." Bill Bigelow, Rethinking Schools Finalist, CINE Golden Eagle Kind regards, Elizabeth Stanley Bullfrog Films ________________________________ From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Hooper, Lisa K Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 3:47 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Alternative films to Tig Hi Mat, The overriding theme for this film series is resilience (we are, after all, marking Katrina10 in a big way down here). We already have several Katrina film options so we're now looking for other issues that can be associated with the concept of resilience; it could be illness, race, LGBT, gender, etc. The field is, actually, pretty wide open. The people making the final selection tend to like films that are recent productions, have a rapid pace (our students lose interest far too quickly), have a high production quality a la Hollywood (for the same reason), and are easily accessible. I think Tig stood out because it appeared to meet all four criteria.

FYI we also handle MITT, which is the Netflix Original Mitt Romney documentary following him and his family on their campaign trail in the last election. In terms of similar films to TIG, what elements were you looking for? Films about comedians, biographies, or cancer/medical stories? I am sure all of us distributors are happy to make recommendations based on those specific needs.

The Netflix model has been to only allow docs they buy to show in NY & LA to make them Academy qualified and then refuse all other requests from theaters to colleges. A lot of venues really wanted to show the Nina Simone doc and others but were blown off. I am not even sure if Netflix ever releases their docs on DVD/blu ray Anyone know if you can legally buy a copy of VIRUNGA?

Unfortunately the distributor declined our request. I just watched the trailer and it's fantastic looking, but that is making it that much harder for me to think of an alternative, similarly themed film that we could use in its place. Does anyone on this list have suggestions? Thanks! -lisa H.
