A woman's life starts to fall into focus, as she realizes who she is and what she is destined to become.

Description

Growing up in the tidewater of Virginia, Beth Roach had a sense that something about her family was just beyond her understanding. Motivated by a desire to uncover the truth of her heritage, Beth began a journey of discovery that answered the questions: who am I, and how do I show up in the world?

An intimate journey of knowing, acceptance and connection, PURPLE SHELLS takes viewers on a journey of purpose and identity; through complex–and sometimes uncomfortable–historical truths. Beth’s path towards becoming who she is and what she stands for, could change not only the way we view each other, but how we connect to something greater than ourselves.

For one night only, every band… is your favorite band. Pull back the curtain on The Great Cover Up, an electric intersection of community, cover bands, and the couple that’s fighting to keep it all together.

Description

After 20 years and over 500 cover bands, The Great Cover Up grew from a single concert into a community institution in Raleigh, North Carolina. The annual event is an unabashedly creative, silly, DIY cover band concert that celebrates individuality amongst an increasingly uniform world.

Paul Siler and Cheetie Kumar are the owners at the core of Raleigh’s beloved music venue slash James Beard nominated restaurant. But as they look towards the future of ever increasing rent and cultural homogeneity, they question if it’s worth the hustle to keep their indie venue alive.
