Mass: Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents (Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton, Reed Birney and Ann Dowd) agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. In Fran Kranz's writing and directing debut, he thoughtfully examines their journey of grief, anger and acceptance by coming face-to-face with the ones who have been left behind. September 20
Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America: In this illuminating documentary that intertwines interviews, archival film, a lecture and personal anecdotes, civil-rights lawyer Jeffery Robinson delivers a powerful rebuke of the racist views that have scarred America's past and haunt its present. October 18
Hive: Living in limbo since her husband disappeared during the war in Kosovo, Fahrije shocks the residents of her village by starting a business to support her family. As she faces down the patriarchy, other women are emboldened to join her. November 15
Sacred Music: A Christmas History: A musical journey across the centuries to Italy, Britain, Germany and Austria to see how the sound of Christmas has evolved in response to changing ideas about the Nativity. December 13
