The Congressman
Harlan Lantier
Maine Congressman Charlie Winship has had a bad day. After being caught on video failing to stand and recite the pledge of allegiance, he knocks out another House member, confronts his angry ex-wife, and faces denunciation by the media for attacking one of the most cherished patriotic symbols in America. As his life spirals out of control, Charlie embarks on a journey to a remote island in the Atlantic whose eccentric inhabitants are in the middle of a shooting war over their fishing grounds. Treat Williams stars as The Congressman in this humorous and moving film that raises the important question of what it means to be an American.
A Grande Luta De Muhammad Ali
Hugo Black
Em 1967, o boxeador Muhammad Ali se recusou a servir o exército dos Estados Unidos na Guerra do Vietnã por ter se convertido ao islã e, segundo a religião, ele não participar do conflito. Devido à atitude, Ali teve seu titulo de campeão mundial cassado e foi proibido de lutar boxe nos Estados Unidos, além de se tornar réu em um processo que poderia levá-lo à prisão. O julgamento em questão chega à Suprema Corte de Justiça, onde os juízes, todos de idade avançada, precisam decidir a questão. O problema é que nem sempre eles avaliam apenas o espírito da lei, levando em consideração também a política adotada pelo então presidente Richard Nixon.
