Kinsey: Vamos Falar de Sexo
Huntington Hartford
Em 1948 Albert Kinsey (Liam Neeson) abalou a conservadora sociedade americana ao lançar seu novo livro, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male".

O assunto, até então pouquíssimo abordado, passa a ser tema de debates e provoca polêmica na sociedade.
O Prato
U.S. Ambassador Howard
Em 1969 a NASA precisava de uma poderosa antena parabólica que estivesse, literalmente, do outro lado do mundo para manter contato ininterrupto com a nave Apolo. Acabaram fazendo um acordo com a equipe que cuidava da grande antena do Observatório de Parkes, Austrália. A parabólica, carinhosamente apelidada de "O Prato", fica no meio de um pasto de ovelhas e foi responsável pela captação e retransmissão das imagens da primeira caminhada do homem na lua. Baseado em uma história real, O Prato tem um olhar inteligente, espirituoso e cômico das atitudes culturais diferentes entre a Austrália e os EUA, enquanto revisita um dos maiores eventos na história. Relembra do orgulho da cidade, o fornecimento de energia elétrica instável, o funcionário da NASA exasperado, e até mesmo um romance, coisas que desempenharam um papel com muitas tensões no evento, com o mundo dependendo deles para as imagens da primeira caminhada da lua.

While following their pursuit of a mutually acceptable meal, the main point of the film is their discourse en route to their various attempts at an eatery.

Separate But Equal
Governor James F. Byrnes
A dramatization of the American court case that destroyed the legal validity of racial segregation. One of the most pivotal moments in 20th century American history is bracingly dramatized in Separate but Equal. In telling the detailed story of the Supreme Court's 1953 decision to abolish racial segregation in schools, this superb 1991 TV movie covers a broad spectrum of issues, never taking its "eyes off the prize" while its first-rate cast conveys the importance of the Supreme Court's ultimately unanimous decision.
