A one-hour documentary about our first real moment of declaring independence 250 years ago, when New Yorkers toppled the statue of King George III at Bowling Green after a first public reading of the freshly inked document on July 9, 1776. In this film, we consider the rise and fall of empires, the toppling of statues, and the removal of monuments to Confederates and slave holders in the afterlife of George Floyd. We follow historian Abby Suckle on her trail to finally find the missing head of King George III, telling the story of how it all happened, along with reflections from Ivan Schwartz whose Studio EIS in Brooklyn has spent a half century sculpting statues of legends from American history in all its complexity: from Presidential libraries, to a re-creation of King George's statue.

The official 10th-anniversary film, Christina Grimmie: Her Voice and Legacy a Decade Later, traces her extraordinary journey from bedroom recordings that ignited a following of millions, to her landmark appearance on The Voice, through the tragedy of June 10, 2016, and beyond. Told through the voices of those who knew her best, including first-hand accounts from her father Bud, her brother Marcus, childhood friend Lauren Longo, and fellow artists who shared her world, the film refuses to let that night be the final word.
