But what they learn turns a murder mystery into bigger inquiry relevant for us all: what happens when governments cover up the truth?

Steve Jobs: O Homem e a Máquina
Narrator (voice)
Em 2005, quando discursou na Universidade de Stanford, Steve Jobs pediu ajuda para escrever o discurso a Aaron Sorkin, mas acabou por o fazer sozinho, como conta Walter Isaacson na sua biografia do co-fundador da Apple. No início do discurso, Jobs dizia: “Hoje, quero contar-vos três histórias da minha vida. É só isso. Nada de especial. Só três histórias.” Nem por acaso, “Steve Jobs”, o filme de Danny Boyle com argumento de Aaron Sorkin, inspirado no citado livro de Isaacson, com Michael Fassbender no papel principal, é formado por três histórias da vida profissional de Jobs: o lançamento do Macintosh, em 1984; o do esquecido NeXT, em 1988; e o do iMac, em 1998.

Most people never have to face the fact that at the right time and right place, they're capable of anything," says John Huston's character, Noah Cross, in the movie Chinatown -- dialogue that seems especially apt watching this engrossing docu collaboration to be simulcast by Sundance Channel and Court TV. Following up on their "First Amendment Project," the cable nets tap filmmaker Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) to craft this thought-provoking examination of three controversial psychological studies whose chilling results still resonate today.

The Soul of a Man
Producer
In "The Soul of A Man," director Wim Wenders looks at the dramatic tension in the blues between the sacred and the profane by exploring the music and lives of three of his favorite blues artists: Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J. B. Lenoir. Part history, part personal pilgrimage, the film tells the story of these lives in music through an extended fictional film sequence (recreations of '20s and '30s events - shot in silent-film, hand-crank style), rare archival footage, present-day documentary scenes and covers of their songs by contemporary musicians such as Shemekia Copeland, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Garland Jeffreys, Chris Thomas King, Cassandra Wilson, Nick Cave, Los Lobos, Eagle Eye Cherry, Vernon Reid, James "Blood" Ulmer, Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt, Marc Ribot, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Lucinda Williams and T-Bone Burnett.
