What's On In December?
Twins of Mankala ([link removed]) (2006, dir. Jason DaSilva)
Whether you're on the grind or in goblin mode ([link removed]) , POV's home for the holidays with all your favorite documentary films. Even after 35 seasons, we push the envelope with independent voices and accessible stories that catalyze civic engagement and foster nonfiction community.

This month's installment:
* Need a film you can squeeze into halftime? Check out Shorts on Sports ([link removed]) , our lightning round of limited edition POV Shorts spotlighting what sportscaster Jim McKay once called "the human drama of athletic competition." Standouts include Team Meryland ([link removed]) 's 12-year-old Mexican American female boxer training for Junior Olympic glory and Kachalka ([link removed]) 's legendary open-air gym located in the heart of Kyiv, Ukraine.

* Celebrate Kwanzaa ([link removed]) on December 26th with seven films reflecting each of the seven principles, including Chez Jolie Coiffure ([link removed]) 's vérité account of a charismatic Cameroonian immigrant running an underground hair salon (Ujamaa, Cooperative Economics) and I'm Free Now, You Are Free ([link removed]) 's poignant reunion between a son and his formerly incarcerated political prisoner mother (Imani, Faith).

* Season 35 continues on December 12th with the broadcast premiere of Let The Little Light Shine ([link removed]) , described by RogerEbert.com ([link removed]) as "one of the year's best documentaries... an indelible reminder of cinema’s enduring power as a communal experience."

The time to stream is now on pov.org ([link removed]) and the PBS app ([link removed]) .
