Hi there! After a bittersweet hiatus filled with injuries, doctors, healing, more injuries, moving multiple times, blah blah blah, I'm happy to say I'm back-- and excited to share a backlog of docs with you!

This month's selections include a dancing and farting grandma super team; a look at America's racial wealth gap through an Arkansas barber's quest for economic justice; and a behind-the-scenes window into the dwindling craft of repairing school instruments. They also are all less than 40 minutes and nominated for Oscars this year.

As always, if you watch a doc that you think should be on Docuvist, feel free to email me at chloe@docuvist.com or fill out the Nomination Form here. I would love to hear from you!
