- Happy Ivy and his daughter Life live on the streets of Venice Beach, California. Although Happy raises Life to be free and wild, only attending two weeks of school, she remains grounded. Happy's desire to live without constraints means his family barely has enough to eat and struggles to find a place to sleep. Together, they spend most of their time at Venice Beach -- a place, also struggling with the dichotomy between freedom and being a slave to freedom. The documentary follows Life for a decade from adolescence through her early twenties. Life now takes care of her aging father. "Happy is Life," directed by Smith Glover and Topher Straus, conveys a free-spirited and unconventional portrait of family life within a vibrant and supportive community.

- Despite the daily challenges of being one of the few Jewish students at the local Christian prep school, both Jordan Simms and his parents know it's the best place for him to prepare for college. Unfortunately, their reasons are worlds apart. Jordan wants to play Division One Lacrosse, and the upcoming visit of a Princeton scout for a pivotal game has Jordan on the verge of realizing his life's dream. However, Jordan's parents have little but contempt for their son's goals. Their sole focus is Jordan's future as a high-powered lawyer, and how his success will reflect best on them. Jordan's teammate, Chris Wheatley, is the youngest son of the school's domineering Headmaster, whose attitude towards Chris mirrors the harshness Jordan receives at home. Headmaster Wheatley has seen his two older sons earn MVP trophies, and he is determined to see Chris earn a third--no matter who gets hurt along the way. Jordan often finds himself at odds with Chris, whose heartfelt belief in Christian dogma clashes with Jordan's skepticism. The boys' friendship is even more stressed when their winning Coach, who's also Jordan's mentor, is fired just days before the big game. Furious over this injustice, Jordan wants to strike back, but Coach Edwards warns him to choose his actions carefully. Jordan's future is in no one's hands but his own. On game day, the conflict comes to a head when Jordan, clearly the most talented player on the team, is benched. With the Princeton scout watching in the stands, Jordan's anger at being robbed of his dream leads him to confront the very choice about which Coach Edwards had warned him. Meanwhile, the Headmaster's humiliation of Chris pushes him to attack the false idols that are the true focus of his seemingly pious father's worship--an emotional breaking point that will change these two boys forever.
