Cuba’s Forgotten Jewels: A Haven in Havana

“Cuba’s Forgotten Jewels” was born of the tales about Cuba that Marion Kreith told her daughter (Co-Director Judy Kreith) over the years. Marion escaped war-torn Europe as a young girl with her family, evading Nazi capture and crossing the Atlantic to a tropical paradise. Her story mingles with the personal accounts of other refugees who recall their escape to Havana and life in an exotic and unfamiliar land.

Anyone Like Me

Before 2009, Shelby Bean had never experienced Deaf culture or American Sign Language because he’s the only Hard of Hearing member of his family. In 2009, Shelby was recruited for the world’s only collegiate Deaf and Hard of Hearing football team: the Gallaudet University Bison. Eight years later, Shelby has found his community at Gallaudet, coaching for the football team and preparing to marry his college sweetheart. This is his story.

62 Days

Marlise Muñoz was 33 and 14 weeks pregnant when she died. She suffered a pulmonary embolism and was pronounced brain-dead in Fort Worth, TX. Marlise had previously told her family that she never wanted to be on life support, under any circumstances. And since a brain-dead patient is in fact legally dead, that should have been the end of this sad story. But the Muñoz family was forced to keep Marlise on mechanical support against their will for 62 days, because of a little known law stating “a person may not withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment… from a pregnant patient.”

Nana
