The documentaries in the Cleveland International Film Festival allow us to learn about topics and see parts of the world we would never know about. Kudo’s to Bill, Marcie and the amazing group at the Cleveland Film Society who bring these wonderful films to Cleveland!

I had the opportunity to see “Journey from Zanscar” and it is amazing! It is a touching story with beautiful cinematography, it’s a must see!
