Please join us as we kick of the 14th SF Documentary Festival with a free outdoor screening of the SF IndieFest award winning documentary FREE, plus a surprise sneak peek of some of the great short docs playing in June’s DocFest.

Directors David Collier and Suzanne La Fetra

Academy Award-nominated filmmaker David Collier and co-director Suzanne LaFetra have crafted a stirring, up-close documentary that follows a group of Oakland teens who find personal liberation and mutual support through dance. These dynamic young people face the very real challenges of poverty, alienation, HIV, sexual abuse, and gang violence but are dedicated to telling the truth— even if it hurts. Because the truth will, to some degree, set them free. FREE captures their struggles as they turn the courage, determination, and stamina required in their daily lives into a contagious joy.

Co-presented by the San Francisco Dance Film Festival
