This May, POV proudly presents three exceptional collections featuring new favorites alongside timeless classics.
Explore Crossing Horizons: Asian and Pacific Islander Visions and Voices ([link removed]) featuring soulful and steadfast odysseys within Asian and Pacific Islander communities.

Mothers of Many Worlds ([link removed]) brings to life poignant moments from the multidimensional worlds of motherhood. Experience the intertwined joy and sorrow of becoming a mother at age 50 in the face of loss in Love & Stuff, ([link removed]) the desperate quest of an Iranian family for a safer future in Love Child ([link removed]) , and the touching journey of a Polish mother finding solace in nurturing a baby squirrel after her son moves abroad to study in My Duduś ([link removed]) . These documentaries uplift the profound impact of mothering across cultures and challenges.
