Welcome back to the Cause Cinema Spotlight. Where I share 3 worthy projects, streaming on a variety of platforms. My goal is to highlight engaging, often inspiring, new or timely movies and series, and save you time. 3 projects. Under 10 minutes. So lets jump in with the power of music, and pay tribute to David Crosby, who we lost this week at the rip old age of 81. He was a founding member of the Byrds, and then Crosby Stills and Nash.
