 create a radically inclusive, \njust and loving community mobilized to 
 alleviate suffering and break the cycles of poverty \nand marginalization. 
 The GLIDE Legacy Committee has selected these documentary shorts \nfor

 LINE UP FOR THE NIGHT\n\n"Memorialize"\nBrenton Gieser\n11 minutes\n\nA man 
 has died in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood in San Francisco where the 
 average life expectancy is 20 years less than the city average. A local 
 pastor, with a mission to honor the lives of those expected to be 
 forgotten, presides over the memorial of the man in the SRO (public-housing 
 building) he lived and died in. A community, all too familiar with their 
 own mortality, gathers to give their neighbor one final send-off. Help 
 support neighbors in the Tenderloin through donating to City Hope:

 minutes\n\nFor a few hours every Saturday, Dr. Marc Lasher and a group of 
 volunteers provide free medical care and clean needles to IV drug users in 
 Fresno, California. On a dingy old school bus, Dr. Lasher slices abscesses, 
 bandages open wounds and counsels his patients, many of whom have turned to 
 street medicine to avoid the stigma and cost of our failed healthcare 
 system. Working with Dr. Lasher and addiction counselors across California, 
 I came to understand that the biggest impediment to recovery is stigma, 
 buoyed by the belief that addiction is a personal choice and not a medical 
 disease. Harm reduction organizations \naround the country are doing the 
 hard work of transforming addiction treatment. \nTo learn more, visit

 Mural"\nTasha Van Zandt\n14 minutes\n\nOne Thousand Stories is a short 
 documentary film by the director Tasha Van Zandt that follows the artist JR 
 in the creation of his first ever video mural project, The Chronicles of 
 San Francisco, which brought together over 1,200 people from all walks of 
 life into one work of art.\n\n"Abuelos"\nRodrigo Reyes	\n9 
 minutes\n\nAbuelos is a film about families fighting to stay connected in 
 the face of huge systemic challenges. You can also support local immigrant 
 rights organizations in your area and their allies. Orgs like United We 
 Dream, the ACLU, and Families for Freedom are doing the good work to 
 transform immigration policies by centering on the needs of immigrants 
 themselves!\n\n"St. Louis Superman"\nSmriti Mundhra and Sami Khan	\n28 
 minutes\n\nBruce Franks Jr., a Ferguson activist and battle rapper who was 
 elected to the overwhelmingly white and Republican Missouri House of 
 Representatives, must overcome both personal trauma and political obstacles 
 to pass a critical bill for his community. Support 28 to Life, Bruce Franks 
 Jr's non-profit that works to end gun violence by attacking it at the root 
 cause: https://www.life28.org/ \n
