Lives Worth Living
Music
The documentary intersperses archival footage with first-person interviews with disability rights activists who fought discrimination such as Fred Fay, I. King Jordan, Judi Chamberlin and Judith Heumann, and with legislators who helped draft and secure the passage of the ADA, including Tony Coelho and Tom Harkin. From the beginnings of the disability rights movement, when veterans with disabilities returning home from World War II began to demand an end to discrimination and for better access to employment and other social opportunities, Lives Worth Living traces the history of the movement in the United States in roughly chronological order. The film documents how, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, activists with disabilities began to adopt the some of the tactics and strategies used by civil rights activists a decade earlier, including marches, protests, and civil disobedience.
타블로이드
Music
한 여인이 자신의 약혼자를 찾기 위해 영화같은 모험을 나선다. 몰몬교의 미션 활동으로 영국에 있다는 사실을 알게된 여자는 일행과 함께 영국에서 남자와 재회하게 되고 둘은 며칠간 마치 신혼여행처럼 둘만의 쾌락에 빠진다. 하지만 언론은 이러한 사랑의 도피를 종교적 이슈와 접목시켜 남자 선교사를 납치해 겁탈한 여자 섹스광으로 만들어 버리고, 이러한 스캔들은 그녀의 인생을 뒤흔들어 놓고 만다. 이후로도 섹스와 복제 등 온갖 이슈를 낳는 여인의 사생활을 놓고, 영국의 황색 저널리즘들은 각종 기사들을 쏟아내고, 진실이 무엇인지는 당사자도 '주장'할 수 밖에 없는 지경에 이른다. 인터뷰로 진행되는 이 영화는 흔히 타블로이드라 불리우는 황색 저널리즘과 관계하여 한 여성 이슈메이커의 이야기를 흥미롭고 빠르게 따라간다. 하지만, 영화는 심층이나 이면을 깊게 파헤치지 않고 마치 여느 타블로이드처럼 이를 가볍게 다루고 자극적인 멘트와 이미지를 사용함으로써 또 한번 황색저널리즘을 비꼰다.

The Singing Revolution
Original Music Composer
Most people don't think about singing when they think about revolutions. But song was the weapon of choice when, between 1986 and 1991, Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in public to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to rally for independence. "The young people, without any political party, and without any politicians, just came together ... not only tens of thousands but hundreds of thousands ... to gather and to sing and to give this nation a new spirit," remarks Mart Laar, a Singing Revolution leader featured in the film and the first post-Soviet Prime Minister of Estonia. "This was the idea of the Singing Revolution." James Tusty and Maureen Castle Tusty's "The Singing Revolution" tells the moving story of how the Estonian people peacefully regained their freedom--and helped topple an empire along the way.

Penn Station covered nearly eight acres, extended two city blocks, and housed one of the largest public spaces in the world.
