Мария Шарапова – одна из величайших теннисисток в истории. Она красива, элегантна и умна. У нее нет конкурентов в способности получать рекламные контракты. И все же она оказалась в центре ситуации, которая привела к ее отстранению от выступлений. Но несмотря на все это, мало кто знает, какова Мария Шарапова на самом деле. Фильм «Мария Шарапова – главное» рассказывает о самом, пожалуй, главном годе ее жизни, причем ее собственными словами, и Мария не скрывает эмоций. Фильм начинается с момента, когда Мария получает информацию о своем отстранении от выступлений, показывает ее прошлый путь к успеху, борьбу за доказательство собственной невиновности и возвращение в спорт. Мы шаг за шагом следим за переменами в жизни Марии. На пути к правде она раскрепощается и словно ломает стену, которая так долго закрывала от нее новые горизонты.

The first time Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova stepped onto a tennis court together, the world scarcely noticed. Only a few hundred spectators saw the pert 18-year-old beat the scrappy 16-year-old Czech in 1973. “I remember that she was fat,” Evert recalled. “She was very emotional on the court, whining if she didn't feel she was playing well. But I remember thinking, if she loses weight, we’re all in trouble.” Said Navratilova, “My goal was for her to remember my name.” Eighty matches later – amid the extraordinary growth of women’s tennis – Evert not only remembered, but became a tried and true friend and confidante, remarkable considering the two appeared to be polar opposites in upbringing, life styles and personal relationships. Through a series of personal conversations, this documentary will tell the story of one of the greatest one-on-one sports rivalries and capture these two extraordinary athletes’ views on tennis and an ever-changing world.

If you are born disabled in Ghana, West Africa you are likely to be poisoned, or left to die by your family; and if you are not poisoned or left for dead, you're likely to be hidden away in a room; and if you're not hidden, you are destined to spend your lifetime begging on the streets. Of the twenty million people in Ghana, two million are disabled. This is the story of one disabled man whose mission-and purpose- is to change all that forever. In Emmanuel's Gift, filmmakers Lisa Lax and Nancy Stern have uncovered a story as compelling as it is important. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey, the film chronicles the life of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, a young Ghanaian man born with a severely deformed right leg, who today, against incalculable odds, is opening minds, hearts and doors-and effecting social and political change throughout his country.

Ларри Флинт — герой семидесятых, эпохи сексуальной революции, наркотиков и культурных катаклизмов. Он видел — людям нужно нечто большее, чем ТВ и пикники по уик-эндам. Им нужны зрелища. Обладая завидной интуицией он решил сделать шаг, который навсегда изменил его жизнь и разделил общество на тех, кто был за и против него. Он стал издавать порножурнал. Но «Hustler» стал не просто журналом. Это был вызов обществу. И оскорбленное общество решило наказать Ларри Флинта.

When Rick Pitino was hired to coach the Kentucky basketball team in 1989, the once-proud program was reeling from NCAA probation and the loss of scholarships. He needed to shake things up and give the players who stayed a fresh perspective. To help achieve this, in 1990 he hired Bernadette Locke, only the second female assistant coach in Division I men’s basketball history.
