Sentencia olvidada
T.J. Campbell
El caso del asesinato de dos niñas, treinta años atrás, vuelve a reabrirse y los brutales secretos del pasado salen a la luz. Correcto thriller policíaco, basado en una novela original de David Stout titulada "Carolina Skeletons". Treinta años después del asesinato de dos niñas, se vuelve a reabrir el caso y, como es de suponer, habrá más de una sorpresa. El afroamericano Louis Gossett Jr., conocido sobre todo por su Oscar al mejor actor secundario en "Oficial y caballero", es el protagonista de la función, interpretando al policía encargado de la investigación del caso. Nada nuevo que aportar por parte de este film producido directamente para la televisión. En todo caso, entretiene.

Himself (voice)
For more than 100 years, the Statue of Liberty has been a symbol of hope and refuge for generations of immigrants. In this lyrical, compelling and provocative portrait of the statue, Ken Burns explores both the history of America’s premier symbol and the meaning of liberty itself. Featuring rare archival photographs, paintings and drawings, readings from actual diaries, letters and newspapers of the day, the fascinating story of this universally admired monument is told. In interviews with Americans from all walks of life, including former New York governor Mario Cuomo, the late congresswoman Barbara Jordan and the late writers James Baldwin and Jerzy Kosinski, The Statue of Liberty examines the nature of liberty and the significance of the statue to American life. Nominated for both the Academy Award ® and the Emmy Award ®, The Statue of Liberty received the prestigious CINE Golden Eagle, the Christopher Award and the Blue Ribbon at the American Film Festival.
