GI Jews: Jewish Americans in World War II tells the story of the 550,000 Jewish American men and women who fought in World War II. In their own words, veterans both famous and unknown (from Hollywood director Mel Brooks to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger) bring their war experiences to life: how they fought for for their nation and their people, struggled with anti-Semitism within their ranks, and emerged transformed, more powerfully American and more deeply Jewish.

"La vida y la época de Frida Kahlo" es una biografía íntima de una mujer que logró balancear magistralmente su vida privada, signada por la enfermedad y el dolor, con la de una figura pública exuberante, irreverente y conocida mundialmente. Asimismo, Frida fue testigo en primera estancia de un proceso único de revolución y renacimiento que caracterizó el momento histórico de su tiempo. A través del prisma de su vida y su obra, este documental explora en la cultura del México Antiguo, la Revolución Mexicana, la explosión del movimiento comunista que invadió América Latina durante las décadas de 1920 y 1930; igualmente, las innovaciones que tuvieron lugar en la pintura, la fotografía, el cine y la literatura que, se evidenciaron en Ciudad de México para ese momento y, paralelamente, el renacimiento de un interés por la cultura popular en la que Kahlo se convirtió en símbolo.

This documentary on the elusive director Alan Smithee was first shown on the American Movie Classics (AMC) cable channel. We learn where the name came from and why the Directors Guild of America (DGA) first allowed his name to be used on Richard Widmark's western Death of a Gunfighter. The film follows the numerous problems that director Tony Kaye had during the production and post-production of the film American History X and why the DGA refused to allow Alan Smithee to be credited for that film.

The Naked Dance is the first documentary about America's legendary legal red-light district that thrived in New Orleans from 1898 until World War I. Storyville got its name when Alderman Sidney Story attempted to clear up the New Orleans waterfront by restricting prostitution to a specific neighborhood. To his chagrin, the area was dubbed "Storyville," and it was so known until the U.S. Navy closed it for good in 1917.
