INVISIBLE CORPS, 57min., USA
Directed by Chris Schueler
Who protects the health of the citizens of the United States? This program explains the evolution of the Public Health Service and the PHS Commissioned Corps. Although invisible, they touch millions of lives every day: from fluoridated water to an America free of malaria. Narrated by Ali MacGraw, the program examines the importance of public health and how the USPHS Commissioned Corps role in health care, research and disaster relief keeps our country safe and healthy.

SALTY LIVES, 4min., Uzbekistan
Directed by Rustam Meliev
The project aims to draw global attention to the impact of climate change on the women of the Aral Sea region, one of the most vulnerable areas affected by climate change. The former fourth-largest lake in the world, located in Uzbekistan, dried up in the 1980s and 1990s. This environmental catastrophe has affected the lives of millions, but the Karakalpak people have been affected more than others. Women in Karakalpakstan suffer from salt and pesticides that are released into the air from the former lakebed. The project wants to bring the world's attention to their plight.
