Bulworth
Tanya
El senador demócrata Jay Bulworth, harto de la falsedad del mundo político, se vuelve loco y arregla su propio asesinato y dedica el cierre de su última campaña electoral a decir sólo la verdad. Durante el transcurso de ésta se arrepiente después de conocer a una atractiva activista política (Halle Berry) y de lograr un éxito inesperado en su campaña. Al final el éxito es tan abrumador que decide presentarse a la presidencia de EEUU, momento en el cuál los lobbys económicos deciden y ejecutan su muerte por ser un peligro a sus intereses.
Just Another Girl on the I.R.T.
Chantel Mitchell
Chantel Mitchell, a hip, articulate, black high-school girl in Brooklyn, is determined not to become "just another girl on the IRT" (the IRT is one of NYC's subway lines). She dreams of medical school, a family, and an escape from the generational poverty and street-corner life her friends seem to have accepted as their lot. But personal and sexual challenges confront Chantel on her way to fulfilling these dreams.
