"description": "Dan and Doris both find themselves single in their 70s after their spouses of decades have passed away. After using an online dating service during the pandemic for older singles, they talk on the phone for three months and fall in love before meeting in person. Now living in Austin, Texas, and married for three years, the two wear lavish matching outfits, go out dancing several nights a week, and have an active sexual life rooted in both fantasy and intimacy. With a deep awareness of their mortality guiding their choices, Dan and Doris are not afraid to show up in the world as their true selves, disregarding cultural norms for how older people should look, love, and move through the world.",

"description": "In Texas, new legislation aims to criminalize those who help others access abortion—even across state lines. This film follows a determined network of activists confronting the legal and financial risks of “aiding and abetting” abortion care. In the wake of a critical vote on the ballot, they push back against Prop A and the growing trend of punitive laws, revealing the emotional toll and the grassroots resistance that continues to hold strong in Texas. \"Freedom At Stake\", shines a light on the resistance to the escalating assault on abortion care and access in small-town Texas—and the sweeping national consequences could follow.",
