La marihuana ha sido la droga más controvertida del siglo XX y, aunque nadie haya podido demostrar todavía que provoque enfermedad alguna, continúa siendo perseguida por la mayoría de los gobiernos del mundo. Ron Mann ensambla históricos e histéricos documentos anti-marihuana, imágenes divertidas realizadas por el dibujante underground de comics Paul Mavrides y el talento de la voz de Woody Harrelson, declarado activista en favor de la marihuana. Todo ello para narrar la oscura y cómica historia de esta hierba, elegida por el gobierno de Estados Unidos como símbolo de la destrucción de una sociedad, y por millones de jóvenes a lo largo de muchas décadas como elemento de júbilo, distracción y liberación de la mente. Divertida y esclarecedora, Grass denuncia las penosas campañas y los billones de dólares malgastados en la lucha contra una droga que ha pasado en pocas décadas sólo en Estados Unidos de 60.000 a 30 millones de consumidores.

Wealthy widower Richard Keaton engages young widow Elizabeth 'Liz' Guinness as the 4th consecutive nanny for his pre-teen, equally science-devoted son Andrew, with instructions to disturb neither. She learns of mother Alycia's fatal fall, an official suicide but was probably murder. Dad keeps Andy at a distance, so he draws towards Liz. Real danger starts when Richard's brother, novelist Blain, arrives with his friend Jillian, to sell the ancestral estate against Richard's will.

Combining rare and often hilarious archival footage with engaging interviews, this groovy documentary chronicles the evolution of the titular postwar rock ’n' roll dance craze that took America by storm. Featuring singers and musicians who helped define the phenomenon like Hank Ballard, Chubby Checker, and Joey Dee, as well as clips from TV shows like “American Bandstand,” TWIST tells the overlooked story of how shaking your hips went from being a sign of social degeneracy to the dance form that rocked the world.

En el siglo 20, en Norteamerica, no hay medio artístico, con potencial para la expresión creativa, que haya tenido una historia más turbulenta y con menos respeto que los libros de historietas. A través de montajes animados, lecturas y entrevistas, esta guía a través de la historia del medio desde la década de 1930 y 1940 con la primera explosión de la popularidad de los superhéroes creados por grandes talentos como Jack Kirby y que alcanzó su cénit artístico de primera con Will Eisner "Espíritu". A continuación, se desplaza a la posguerra, con la creciente popularidad de los cómics de terror y de delincuencia, hasta que ha llegado el aumento de la censura con la imposición del Comics Code. En su paso por la devastación de la libertad creativa del medio, también explora la supervivencia desafiante de EC Comics con la creación de la singular "Mad Magazine" por Harvey Kurtzman.

More than 20 contemporary North American poets recite, sing, and perform their work. Early in the film, Charles Bukowski talks about the energy of poets and of a poem. These poets are the children of Walt Whitman and of Charles Olson, incantatory and oratorical, radical, sometimes incorporating contemporary political imagery. Black Mountain poets, the Beats, minimalists like John Cage, the wordless Four Horsemen, Tom Waits, and others capture aspects of poets as troubadours.

In one of many unpopular and unsupported policy decisions, the US government of the near future outlaws vehicle petrol in an effort to curb the overuse of limited natural resources - except, of course, for official purposes. There are many renegades who oppose the authorities, and will stop at nothing to allow themselves the freedom of burning around the countryside.
