MIND OVER MURDER Trailer. HBO True Crime Docu Series Explores Phenomenon of ‘Recovered Memories’
Mind Over Murder directed by Nanfu Wang (HBO) Mind Over Murder chronicles the bizarre and psychologically complex story of six individuals who were convicted for the 1985 murder of a beloved 68- year-old grandmother, Helen Wilson, in Beatrice, Nebraska. Despite five of the individuals originally confessing to the crime, the “Beatrice Six” as they became known, were exonerated by DNA evidence in 2009, a turn of events which divided the rural town and incensed the family of Helen Wilson. As the filmmakers track the case from the murder, through investigation, trial, exoneration and two civil suits, shifting perspectives cloud the truth; a stranger-than-fiction tale emerges that raises salient questions about the reliability of confessions and memory in criminal cases.

Summer of Soul, My Name is Pauli Murray and Mayor Among 82nd Peabody Awards Winners
Summer of Soul, My Name is Pauli Murray and Mayor – 82nd Peabody Awards Winners The documentary Summer of Soul (…Or When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson won the Arts award at the 82nd Peabody Awards. In the concert documentary film Summer of Soul, musician and debut director Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson puts us in the front row of a seminal event that should be as legendary as Woodstock but had been relegated to the dusty and neglected storage bins of history: the Harlem Cultural Festival in the summer of 1969. The film weaves together interviews with attendees and cultural commentators for context with astonishing footage of festival performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, and many more.
