This powerful collection of documentary shorts confronts moments when truth, loss, and accountability collide. From the unbearable aftermath of school shootings to a poetic meditation on how we measure time itself, these films invite us to face the forces—personal, political, and planetary—that demand a reckoning. Together they challenge viewers to bear witness, to question what endures, and to consider what repair might look like.
