My Mother's Lost Children (1 hr 35 min, 2018, Kanopy)
When two stolen children reappear after 40 years, their eccentric family is thrown into disarray. Attempting to put the past to rest and discover the truth, Ben-Moshe and his family embark on a remarkable journey from Australia, to England and Iran, in an attempt to unravel the dense web of secrets, and put the past to rest.

Love, Iranian-American Style (1 hr, 2006, Kanopy): Sexual purity, money and a mother's worries come together in this humorous guided tour of America's status-obsessed Iranian Jewish community. The film follows Tanaz, the narrator, a hip New Yorker whose Iranian family attempts to marry her off now that she's reached the age of 25.
