Each week, Fletcher Powell finds the independent and non-commercial films showing in Wichita and the surrounding areas and brings them to you in this handy guide.

This week includes an Oscar-nominated documentary, another about the racial controversy surrounding an opera singer in the 1950s and a movie made entirely of found footage… of dogs.
