| Description |
ZION Flix V: Documentary Shorts
A selection of documentaries that celebrate the Americas through art, nature, music and cultural diversity. The desires of what can be accomplished are also met with challenges.
Ascending the Giants
Utah Premiere
Shorts Competition â Documentary
U S A (2009) 13 min. (1.78:1) In English
DIR John Waller CAST Brian French, Will Koomjian
Brian French and Will Koomjian are Portland, Oregon based arborists by trade, who started an organization called Ascending the Giants in 2006. With the goal of aiding preservation efforts for champion trees, their mission is to showcase these specimens to increase knowledge of their existence and ecological importance. With stunning big tree cinematography, the action and danger assumed by Brian and Will to measure these trees is captured, but with greater emphasis upon the emotional connection of the trees.

DIR Emma Cott, Anna Belle Peevey
Three immigrant soldiers are followed through the ups and downs of training and deployment, and as they take steps towards achieving U.S. citizenship by serving in the U.S. military. By taking two of the hottest debates in our country â the post 9/11 war and immigration policy â out of the bi-partisan political arena, and into the lives of real people, this short cuts straight to the heart of these issues.

Meninos do Morumbi is a performing arts school in Sao Paolo, Brazil that gives children from favelas (slums) hope for the future.

U S A (2009) 33 min. (1.78:1) In English
