In 1945, as America's soldiers come home to ticker-tape parades and overjoyed families, Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, returns to rebuild his life with only the shirt on his back and a dream in his heart. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation's next great musical superstars, inspiration strikes! Donny joins forces with a motley group of fellow veterans, forming a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. Along the way, they discover the power of music to face the impossible, find their voice and finally feel like they have a place to call home.

An audacious vérité documentary that celebrates the unvarnished lives of five gay refugees from Iran as they wait in limbo in Turkey, hoping to be granted permanent resettlement in the United States or Canada. Welcoming an American director into their homes, the refugees navigate him away from tropes of victimization, teaching him to represent them as they see themselves.
