Anne Braden: Southern Patriot is a documentary featuring the inspiring story of Anne Braden and her tireless efforts in the fight for civil rights in the American South. The film showcases her commitment to social justice and racial equality, highlighting her significant contributions to the movement.

Appalshop’s first dramatic film, In Ya Blood is the story of a prototypical young man from Appalachia in the summer after his senior year in high school. Randy, the protagonist, must make the difficult decision faced by many Appalachian youth‑‑whether to stay in the mountains or leave in search of a “better life.” The film follows Randy as he struggles with his alternatives of working in the coal mines or going off to college. Shot in black and white by filmmakers the same age as those portrayed in the film, In Ya Blood is highly effective as an insider’s look at the decisions faced by many teenagers as they consider their futures.
