Killer Sally | November 2
“Killer Sally” is the story of bodybuilding’s most notorious crime.
On Valentine’s Day 1995, national bodybuilding champion, Ray McNeil, was choking his bodybuilder wife, Sally, when she grabbed a gun and fatally shot him twice.
With a documented history of domestic abuse, Sally claimed it was self-defense, a split-second decision to save her life.
The prosecution argued it was premeditated murder, the revenge of a jealous and aggressive wife. They called her a “thug,” a “bully,” and a “monster”.
The media referred to her as the “brawny bride” and the “pumped-up princess”.
Sally says she spent her life doing whatever it took to survive, caught in a cycle of violence that began in childhood and ended with Ray’s death.
This complex true crime story examines domestic violence, gender roles, and the world of bodybuilding.

Is That Black Enough For You?? | November 11
From celebrated writer and film historian Elvis Mitchell, “IS THAT BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?!?” is both a documentary and a deeply personal essay.

Crucial artistic voices, including directors Charles Burnett, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Laurence Fishburne, Zendaya, and others, offer their distinctive prism on the creators and films that dazzled and inspired.
The film provides insight into the history of Black representation going back to the earliest days of cinema, and the cultural impact of witnessing unapologetic Blackness.
