Reverence: Reclaiming the Forgotten

A Connecticut genealogist works to recover the forgotten histories of African Americans, reconnecting families, restoring memorials, and ensuring lives erased from history are remembered for generations to come.

In the heart of Cleveland, caregiving isn’t just a job—it’s a 40-year legacy of love. "Game Day at Singleton" takes viewers inside a historic mansion-turned-nursing home that serves as a cornerstone for the local African American community. 
While the city gears up for a Super Bowl celebration, host Peter Murphy Lewis joins "Rock Star" caregivers Cassandra Bush (72 years young) and Detra Newton (36 years of service) to spotlight the dignity of aging. From the meticulous care of a resident’s Sunday best to a life-changing breakthrough with a resident who hadn't joined the community for a meal in four years, this episode captures the "special vibe" of a family-owned institution where tradition and compassion collide. Through music, dancing, and "from-scratch" cooking, the film honors the frontline heroes who ensure that Cleveland’s elders are never forgotten.

People Worth Caring About: Game Day at Singleton

Set in the heart of Cleveland, this documentary celebrates the caregivers of Singleton Health Care Center, whose decades of compassion, dedication, and community have shaped a lasting legacy of dignity and care for the city's elders.

This documentary uncovers the hidden health and environmental risks of synthetic hair extensions, focusing on their impact on Black women. Through a deeply personal lens, it traces the beauty industry’s long-standing reliance on toxic materials and follows the journey of creating Rebundle—a plant-based alternative, reshaping the future of hair. Blending science, storytelling, and activism, the film challenges the status quo and asks: What happens when Black women reclaim the very spaces where they’ve long been the primary consumers—but rarely the decision-makers?
