Doc Block 1:Made in PA
They Were Giants:  the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has had an important yet largely unknown significance in the history of both race and baseball.  In 1867, the city hosted a conference held by the Philadelphia "Base Ball" Association which became the first baseball league to officially segregate black and white players.  However in 1954, a Negro League team called the Harrisburg Giants, became the first team in the Eastern Negro League to integrate white players on their team.  This is their story.

Triple Divide: A bombshell documentary about the impact of tracking with exclusive interviews from oil and gas industry leaders, independent experts and impacted residents.  This tim covers five years (2011-2016) of cradle-to-grave investigations by the Public Herald (a news nonprofit) that reveals how regulators and industry keep water contamination "off the books."
Originally released as a 90-minute feature in 2013, this iteration of Triple Divide is updated with Public Heralds's continued investigations through 2016.  Award winning actor Mark Ruffalo, co-narrates.
This documentary's title represents one of four Triple Continental Divides in North America, a place that provides drinking water to millions of Americans signaling the audience that everything, and everyone, is downstream from shale and gas extraction.
