In 2010, Mills co-produced and co-directed the documentary Auf Wiedersehen: 'Til We Meet Again, a film that explores the intergenerational transmission of trauma from the Holocaust to 9-11.

Linda is the director, with Chelsea Clinton as Executive Producer, of the documentary short, Of Many, an inspiring narrative of friendship between NYU’s Imam Khalid Latif and Rabbi Yehuda Sarna. Of Many’s world premiere was in April 2014 at Tribeca Film Festival and was seen at 14 other film festivals around the world, including the Abu Dhabi Film Festival. The film also traveled to Tunisia as part of the U.S. State Department’s American Film Showcase.
