Coronado: The New Evidence explores one of the longest-standing archaeological mysteries in the United States — the land route taken by famed explorer Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, who from 1540-1542 attempted to find vast wealth and fame while traveling north from Mexico. Through the intrepid and tireless work of Arizona-based archaeologist Dr. Deni Seymour, we now know where Coronado's expedition first crossed into what would later become the continental United States.

THE POWER OF STONE is a documentary film about notable stone artist Lew French, who splits his time between his home on Martha's Vineyard and the house he designed and built in the mountains of Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. Lew French may first appear as unyielding and imposing as the granite he works with, but beneath this artist’s rigid exterior is a dedicated naturalist, a father mourning the loss of his son, and a deeply spiritual man committed to the concept of karma. Despite waking up at 4am to meditate every day, Lew struggles to quiet his mind. In stone, Lew seeks that which he longs for: stillness. As one of Lew’s friends puts it, “Don't be tricked by the idea that he's a stone mason. He's sort of a philosopher, artist, spiritual guide who's working with stone.”
