The Art of the Steal
Himself
Crunch Calhoun, un acróbata motociclista de tercera, y ladrón de arte en sus ratos libres, se junta con su escurridizo hermano para robar uno de los libros más valiosos del mundo. Pero para Crunch no se tratará sólo del libro, sino al mismo tiempo tener la posibilidad de reescribir algunos capítulos de su propio pasado. (FILMAFFINITY)
The Shame of a City
Himself
In 1904, author Lincoln Steffens wrote, Philadelphia is a city that is corrupt and contented. In 2003 filmmaker Tigre Hill chronicled the Philadelphia mayoral race between Democrat incumbent mayor, John Street and Republican challenger Sam Katz. Early polls showed Katz with a small lead. Hill had inside access to the Katz campaign and although rebuffed by the Street campaign, managed to get footage. Twenty-seven days before the election an FBI bug was found in the mayor s office. It looked like 1904 all over again-blatant corruption. The discovery of the bug at first seemed like a death knell to the Street campaign and a near certain victory for Katz. How did the mayor react to the bug? This powerful documentary shows how-drum up support by polarizing the electorate.
