Extinction – The Facts

Coded Bias MON Mar 22 | 10pCoded Bias explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s startling discovery that widely used facial recognition systems do not accurately identify faces with darker skin or the faces of women. The fi lm follows her journey to push for legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.

Fast Forward: Look Into Your Future WED Mar 24 | 10pFamily dynamics are a primary driver of success – or failure– as we age. This documentary follows four millennials and their parents as they simulate being elderly by wearing an “aging empathy suit” as well as working with professional makeup artists. After the shock of feeling and seeing themselves decades older, these families grapple with the mindset and actions needed to age successfully.

The Blinding of Isaac Woodard TUE Mar 30 | 9pIn February 1946, Isaac Woodard, a 26-year-old African American soldier, was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army after serving in World War II. On his way home – while still in uniform – he was pulled from a bus and viciously attacked by South Carolina police. The attack and his injuries sparked national outrage and galvanized the civil rights movement in the United States.

Extinction – The Facts WED Mar 31 | 8pWith a million species at risk of extinction, Sir David Attenborough explores how this crisis of biodiversity has consequences for us all, threatening food and water security, undermining our ability to control our climate, and even putting us at greater risk of pandemic disease.

Daring Women Doctors: Physicians in the 19th Century WED Mar 10 | 2p In a story not often told in history books, medical schools for women began to appear in 19th century America – long before women had the right to vote or own property.

This documentary highlights the intrepid, pioneering and diverse women who faced hostility and resistance in the pursuit of a medical education. The fi lm examines the impact of these women on their communities and demonstrates how women doctors exerted a long-lasting infl uence on the movement toward women’s rights.
