In fact, this week, the World Cup of Darts will take place right here in Charlotte. And some of the players on the United States' World Cup Darts team are from our area. We'll meet a few of these Darts players and learn more about the sport and its growing popularity.

Those works include world premieres of two documentaries, one about the U.S. Paralympic Team and the other about America's battle over immigration policy.
