Captivating film Self-Defense at the 2022 New Jersey International Film Festival

by Ashley Terer
published 2022-05-28

Self-Defense, which is playing at the 2022 New Jersey International Film Festival on Saturday, June 4, is a wonderfully captivating and intimately reflective art performance piece created by Joni Whitworth and Sam Tam Ham about experiencing the world as someone who is neurodivergent. Initially, Joni entails her thoughts and emotions using beautiful poetic imagery, while stunning visual effects supplement her storytelling. Suddenly, the film shifts into a different tone. In a blunt expose of reality, this film reveals the systemic decades long abuse of helpless neurodivergent youth housed at the Judge Rotenberg Center via inhumane shock collar therapy. Finally, Joni asks of the viewer to protect neurodivergent people from being othered, harmed, or abused, a term she calls “self-defense.” Self-Defense is an extremely rich, enlightening experience exposing the truths of neurodivergent people in a world that fails to recognize the damaging perceptions it holds.



An Interview With Tom McCabe about "Voice Of The Game"

published 2022-05-27

If you were one of the U.S. soccer fans who cheered Jesse Marsch and his Leeds team as they avoided relegation in the Premier League, you will love Voice of the Game. It is a wonderful documentary by Tom McCabe and Kirk Rudell that spotlights Manfred “Manny” Schellscheidt, a German immigrant who came to play and teach soccer in one of the game’s last frontiers, America. He may well be the least known, and most important coach in American soccer history. And coaches like Marsch are continuing the vision of the game that Manny installed in them.
