People Rising: Ivy City

Wood Hood
Wood Hood is a 2022 short documentary film that follows a 15-year-old New York City skateboarder who goes on a weekend camping trip with a mentorship program.
Becoming Ruby
A film about inclusion, identity and hand-drawn heroes. If you can’t find a hero, create your own; for mountain biker, skier and artist Brooklyn Bell, that hand-drawn hero was a comic character named Ruby J. Using Ruby as a role model, Brooklyn set out to “live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her,” finding her own identity in a mix of dirt, snow, art and inclusion.
Grounded: Black Canary
Grounded: Black Canary is a short documentary that explores the Black Canary 030 collective in Berlin and their work to reclaim nature for the city's BIPOC and FLINTA population.
