July 17: “Spirit Bear: The Simon Jackson Story”, a Screen Door picture directed by Stefan Scaini about a little boy who faces the foresting industry to try to save the endangered Spirit Bear.

August 7: “Education of Little Tree”, which showcases the story of an 8 year-old Cherokee boy during the Depression era.  Directed by Richard Friedenberg and produced by Allied Films.
