Picasso's Last Stand
Executive Producer
Biographer Sir John Richardson and Picasso’s granddaughter, Diana Widmaier Picasso, are the star witnesses in a documentary that reassesses the artist’s output in the years before his death in 1973. The story is of a creative spirit finding new impetus in response to both death’s approach and the censure of contemporaries and critics. Those who were members of Picasso’s private inner circle – gossip about his lifestyle also helped to fire him back up – put the later work forward as some of his frankest, wittiest and most profound.

1929 - A Grande Quebra
Executive Producer
O ano de 1929 passou à história como o ano no qual estourou a maior crise econômica do sistema capitalista. Os "Felizes Anos Vinte" foram um tempo de prosperidade e bonança econômica para os Estados Unidos que, ao contrário dos seus aliados europeus, haviam ressurgido fortes e dominantes da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Esta seria uma época dourada caracterizada por fortes investimentos, crédito fácil e especulação que atingiria o seu auge em Outubro de 1929, após a devastadora queda da Bolsa de Wall Street. As consequências dramáticas não tardariam a fazer-se sentir: incalculáveis perdas econômicas, mais de três mil bancos na bancarrota e um grande número de famílias na mais completa ruína.
