Décadas após sua prematura morte, a princesa Diana ainda evoca o mistério, glamour e o conto de fadas moderno por excelência e que não teve um final feliz. Filmado integramente a partir de imagens de arquivo.

Um documentário sobre a lendária série de debates, transmitidos pela TV nacionalmente em 1968, entre dois grandes intelectuais públicos, o liberal Gore Vidal e o conservador William F. Buckley Jr. Produzidos para comentar as questões de seu dia-a-dia, esses encontros ácidos e explosivos vieram definir a era moderna do discurso público na mídia, marcando o momento da grande explosão de nossa paisagem de mídia contemporânea quando o espetáculo superou conteúdo e o argumento substituiu a substância. O Melhor dos Inimigos mergulha nas biografias emaranhadas desses dois grandes pensadores e nos presenteia com a linguagem e o teatro de seus debates, nos impondo a pergunta: "Quanto a televisão determinou na forma como discutimos a política hoje em nossa democracia?" (e 16 - Estimado 16 Anos)

The life of Christopher Hitchens as told through his own words and through archive footage.

From civil rights to the anti-war movement to the struggles of workers, folksinger Phil Ochs wrote topical songs that engaged his audiences in the issues of the 1960s and 70s. In this biographical documentary, veteran director Kenneth Bowser shows how Phil's music and his fascinating life story and eventual decline into depression and suicide were intertwined with the history-making events that defined a generation. Even as his contemporaries moved into folk-rock and pop music, Phil followed his own vision, challenging himself and his listeners. Not one to pull punches, Ochs never achieved the commercial success he desperately desired. But his music remains relevant, reaching new audiences in a generation that finds his themes all too familiar.

COLLISION carves a new path in documentary film-making as it pits leading atheist, political journalist and bestselling author Christopher Hitchens against fellow author, satirist and evangelical theologian Douglas Wilson, as they go on the road to exchange blows over the question: "Is Christianity Good for the World?". The two contrarians laugh, confide and argue, in public and in private, as they journey through three cities. And the film captures it all. The result is a magnetic conflict, a character-driven narrative that sparkles cinematically with a perfect match of arresting personalities and intellectual rivalry. COLLISION is directed by prolific independent filmmaker Darren Doane (Van Morrison: Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl, The Battle For L.A., Godmoney).

In "Diana: The Mourning After" Christopher Hitchens sets out to examine the bogusness of "a nation's grief", tries to uncover the few voices of sanity that cut against the grain of contrived hysteria. His findings suggested that the collective hordes of emotive Dianaphiles sobbing in the streets were not only encouraged but emulated by the media. In the aftermath of Diana's death a three-line whip was enforced on newspapers and on TV, selling the sainthood line wholesale. The suspicion was that journalists, like the public, greeted the death as a chance to wax emotional in print, as a change from the customary knowing cynicism, to wheel out all those portentous phrases they'd been saving up for the big occasion. Sadly, they just seemed to be showboating; the eulogies, laments and tear-soaked platitudes ringing risibly hollow.
