Amanda Knox served four years in an Italian prison for the murder of her British flatmate Meredith Kercher in Perugia in 2007, always insisting on her innocence. In 2011, she was acquitted on the basis of DNA evidence but prosecutors successfully appealed and her acquittal was struck down. In 2014 she was again found guilty in absentia after a retrial and sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail. The saga came to and end when Italy's highest court overturned the convictions of Ms Knox and her former boyfriend, Italian student Raffaele Sollecito in March 2015. Known burglar Rudy Guede was arrested a short time later following the discovery of his bloodstained fingerprints on Kercher's possessions. He was later found guilty of murder in a fast-track trial and is currently (as of 2019) serving a 16-year prison sentence.

Twilight of the Goodtimes is a documentary that approaches (or remixes) the sad and long history of public housing in the United States like a DJ on two turntables and a microphone handed to Hegel.

La historia de Hands, un padre de familia de Seattle que falleció en una de sus escapadas sexuales con un caballo, sirve a Robinson Devor de punto de inicio para explorar una comunidad secreta de zoófilos. Zoo resulta una propuesta radical tanto por su tema como por su forma, pues se adentra en el universo conflictivo de estos individuos mediante imágenes bellas y una fotografía exquisita. Sus personajes se basan en personas reales que ponen su voz pero no muestran su rostro y que están interpretados (todos menos uno, Coyote) por actores: una combinación que hace de Zoo un curioso documental ficcionado.
