Obrigado Por Fumar
Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) é o principal porta-voz das grandes empresas de cigarros, ganhando a vida defendendo os direitos dos fumantes nos Estados Unidos. Desafiado pelos vigilantes da saúde e também por um senador oportunista, Ortolan K. Finistirre (William H. Macy), que deseja colocar rótulos de veneno nos maços de cigarros, Nick passa a manipular informações de forma a diminuir os riscos do cigarro em programas de TV. Além disto Nick conta com a ajuda de Jeff Megall (Rob Lowe), um poderoso agente de Hollywood, para fazer com que o cigarro seja promovido nos filmes. Sua fama faz com que Nick atraia a atenção dos principais chefes da indústria do tabaco e também de Heather Holloway (Katie Holmes), a repórter de um jornal de Washington que deseja investigá-lo. Nick repetidamente diz que trabalha apenas para pagar as contas, mas a atenção cada vez maior que seu filho Joey (Cameron Bright) dá ao seu trabalho começa a preocupá-lo.

Asking For It: the Ethics & Erotics of Sexual Consent
The line between sexual consent and sexual coercion is not always as clear as it seems -- and according to Harry Brod, this is exactly why we should approach our sexual interactions with great care. Brod, a professor of philosophy and leader in the pro-feminist men's movement, offers a unique take on the problem of sexual assault, one that complicates the issue even as it clarifies the bottom-line principle that consent must always be explicitly granted, never simply assumed. In a nonthreatening, non-hectoring discussion that ranges from the meanings of "yes" and "no" to the indeterminacy of silence to the way alcohol affects our ethical responsibilities, Brod challenges young people to envision a model of sexual interaction that is most erotic precisely when it is most thoughtful and empathetic.
Ignore The Clock
A recovering ex-convict and a disgraced former detective meet up for a late dinner to discuss a potential business deal.
Growing Up
Freedom of expression and sexual liberation might have defined the 1960s but by 1971 the British education system was far from ready for Dr Cole's explicit series A New Approach to Sex Education. Made as a teaching aid for use in schools an universities, the Growing Up was unprecedented in its depictions of erect penises, un-simulated masturbation and intercourse to describe the development of the human body and sexuality to students.
The People at No. 19
Reported cases of sexually transmitted disease took a sharp rise during and after World War II, but as this film testifies, sexual license amongst soldiers on the frontline wasn't the sole cause. Back on the home front, for many women, like Joan from No. 19, loneliness or newfound independence acted as an incentive to extramarital promiscuity.
6 Little Jungle Boys
In commissioning Halas & Batchelor, the War Office recognised the potential of cartoons as an unobtrusive and entertaining medium by which official messages could be conveyed - in this case some rather unsavoury warnings pertaining to foot rot, dysentery and VD. Aimed at soldiers serving in the Far East, the antics of six sprightly soldiers stationed in the jungle illustrate with humour and clarity the potential pitfalls of poor personal hygiene.

'Ave You Got a Male Assistant Please Miss?
A production of Oxford Polytechnic for sponsor the Family Planning Association, this is an unreservedly hairy promotion of the prophylactic in avoiding unwanted pregnancies. A wave of period details situate the film in both time and milieu. The culture of its audience, 1970s students, is evoked and displayed via a mattress on the floor, an ethnic rug, the kilim bedpsread, homebrew jars, denim clothes and by hair: long hair, facial hair - beards. The main actors are dead ringers for the infamous cover stars of Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex, published the year before.
The Last Thing You Need
An internal struggle ensues when a young man is confronted with the choice between his girl and his smokes.
