From a clandestine cosmetic clinic in his modest home in Puerto Rico, Carmen Oquendo-Villar and José Correa-Vigier's The Needle follows José Quiñones who deals both treatment and advice.

Lucy Walker's short film Crooked Lines is the story of Ailson Eraclito Da Silva, the best rower in Brazilian history, the Micheal Phelps of his sport. Growing up in a leper colony on the banks of the Amazon, he’s constantly discriminated against. His dream, though, is to win Olympic Gold. But Ailson has an Achilles heel — he’s heavy for the lightweight category he competes in.
