Takeover
TAKEOVER explores the twelve historic hours on July 14, 1970, in which fifty members of the Young Lords Party stormed the dilapidated Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx, drove out their administrative staff, barricaded entrances and windows, and made their cries for decent healthcare known to the world. Through archival footage, seamless reenactments, and modern-day interviews, we follow the Young Lords’ resistance against institutions curated by wealth and white supremacy, and their fight for the most basic of human rights: the right to accessible, quality healthcare.

The Reverend
Vince Anderson dropped out of seminary to follow his second calling - music. With his band The Love Choir, he has played a now-legendary weekly show for over twenty years. Reconnecting with his faith and using his soulful music, he preaches a type of spirituality that meets people where they are, is open to all, and moves everyone that sees him play. Vince is also involved in social activism, working with other faith leaders around the country to build inclusive communities. THE REVEREND is a rocking concert film and an intimate portrait of Reverend Vince’s inspiring personal and spiritual life.
