Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won't take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church's headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church's use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organization, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux.

Before Lance Armstrong, there was Greg LeMond, who is now the first and only American to win the Tour de France. In this engrossing documentary, LeMond looks back at the pivotal 1986 Tour, and his increasingly vicious rivalry with friend, teammate, and mentor Bernard Hinault. The reigning Tour champion and brutal competitor known as “The Badger,” Hinault ‘promised’ to help LeMond to his first victory, in return for LeMond supporting him in the previous year. But in a sport that purports to reward teamwork, it’s really every man for himself.

Screenplay
Corría el año 1977, durante uno de los veranos más agitados y decadentes que haya vivido Nueva York. Fue entonces cuando, en medio de apagones, desórdenes callejeros, los asesinatos en serie del ‘Hijo de Sam’ y el auge de la legendaria discoteca Estudio 54, se produjo un prodigio de inspiración absolutamente inesperado: el ascenso del Cosmos de Nueva York, el primer gran equipo norteamericano de fútbol, y de su superestrella Pelé. Adorado de la noche a la mañana por una ciudad obsesionada con la fama y el éxito, el Cosmos encendió la llama del primer amor pasional de Norteamérica con el deporte más popular del planeta. Arrastrado, sin embargo, por el torrente imparable de la fama, el glamour y el desenfreno, el Cosmos encontró su destrucción.

In the mid-1990s, spurred on by both the sudden world-domination of bands such as Oasis and Prime Minister Tony Blair's "Cool Brittania" campaign, British culture experienced a brief and powerful boost that made it appear as if Anglophilia was everywhere--at least if you believed the press. Pop music was the beating heart of this idea, and suddenly, "Britpop" was a movement. Oasis, their would-be rivals Blur, Pulp, The Verve, and many more bands rode this wave to international chart success. But was Britpop a real phenomenon, or just a marketing ploy? This smart and often hilarious documentary probes the question with copious interviews from Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis, Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, Damon Albarn of Blur, Sleeper's Louise Wener, and many other artists and critics who suddenly found themselves at the cultural forefront.
