Eighteen-year-old Aaliyah flies on aerial silks. Her 16-year-old cousin Bre twirls on hoops. They dream of escaping the violence that marred their young lives. Their possible ticket out is the after-school program Trenton Circus Squad. Now that Covid-19 has changed everything, will the circus and the girls’ dreams survive?

50 years ago Jack and Betty were hit by a train and survived. This is their story.

THE OUTSIDE CIRCLE tells the stories of Len Babb -- a lifelong buckaroo and accomplished western artist, the Murphy family -- fifth generation Oregon ranchers fighting to preserve their land and legacy, and Victoria Jackson -- a Paiute-Shoshone rodeo champion whose family legacy in the Great Basin reaches back over 14,000 years. Determined to preserve their heritage, traditions, and livelihoods far from the cultural, political, and economic centers of wider America – on what working cowboys call The Outside Circle -- the narratives find a common thread in their modest adherence to the values of faith, family, friends, and community.
