Four Mexican-American middle school boys in a Texas border town have developed an unusual obsession: Joseph Stalin. When their teacher tells them about the Texas State History Fair, they write a play about the Soviet dictator and his efforts to destroy all who opposed him. With cardboard props and fur hats purchased on the internet, the boys enter the competition as underdogs and leave home for the very first time.

Filmmaker Bianca Giaever is selfish…or at least that’s what her dad tells her. In this docu-comedy series, Bianca sets out to prove him wrong by offering free help to strangers across New York City. But as she inserts herself into other people’s problems, her well-intentioned efforts spiral into messy, funny, and wildly unpredictable situations where the line between helping and interfering disappears.

Bianca Giaever made a film by asking six-year-old Asa Baker-Rouse for a story. The story is about a bear and a mouse, but then Asa gets philosophical about dealing with nervousness and fear. We all get a little scared sometimes. Scared of graduating school without a plan; scared of monsters. One six year old has a remedy: think of something else until the "nervous has gone out of you." Think of juice, pizza, and a piano shaped chocolate chip cookie. In other words, he says, "when the scared feeling comes into you, the scared is scared of things you like." There aren't many situations that couldn't be improved by pizza and a cookie.
