Beyond Human Nature

When a man is murdered by drowning in a paper pulp vat, a small town clamors for justice and his brother comes face to face with the slippery nature of objective truth. 'Beyond Human Nature' chronicles the grisly Tom Monfils homicide investigation of 1992 through the eyes of the people who lived it.

Last Day at Lambeau

What if the pride of a community hinged on the demise of their greatest hero? Brett Favre was the pride of Wisconsin for sixteen years until he left after a messy conflict with the Green Bay Packers. When he sought the opportunity to play for the Packers' arch-nemisis, the Minnesota Vikings, the people of Wisconsin turned from adoration of Favre to hatred. LAST DAY AT LAMBEAU explores this complex relationship between fans and pro athletes and the specific events which defined the war between Brett Favre, the Packers and Packers Nation.
