    Indie Memphis and the Brooks Museum of Art continue their year-round collaboration with the 2010 Global Lens Film Series, which promotes cross-cultural understanding through cinema with unique and critically acclaimed cinematic works from around the world. The series is made possible through the support of the First Tennessee Foundation and is sponsored by the Memphis Flyer and the Global Film Initiative. In SHIRLEY ADAMS (2009 / 92 minutes), a deeply affecting portrait of ordinary courage in present-day South Africa, a single mother -- Shirley Adams -- struggles to care for her paraplegic teenage son in a depressed district on the outskirts of Cape Town. First-time director Oliver Hermanus' observant camera holds close to its subjects, capturing the claustrophobia, intimacy and hushed anguish surrounding the tender daily routines of a mother and her child. Presented in English and Afrikaans with English subtitles.
