Your Last Best: A Memphis Rox Story
Director: Glen Janssens (2025 USA 16 minutes)
South Memphis is a historic neighborhood long recognized for being the home of Soulsville USA and the birthplace of Aretha Franklin. The area has also historically struggled for basic resources.

About Damn Time
Director: Dana Romanoff (USA 24 minutes)
n 1983, Cindell “Dellie” Dale talked her way onto her first commercial river trip through the Grand Canyon. Like many women in the industry at the time, her place was in the kitchen.

Inspired by the trailblazing women before her, Dale is now proudly passing the oars to a new generation, declaring, “It’s about damn time.”
