История

Oscar® nominated Morgan Spurlock became a household name after the runaway success of 2004’s SUPER SIZE ME. The feature length documentary film, Spurlock's first, was named to more than 35 "Top Ten" lists and is one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. The film was awarded the inaugural Writers Guild of America Documentary Screenplay Award and the Best Director Prizes at the Sundance and Edinburgh Film Festivals – and was listed in the Top 25 Best Documentary Films of All Time by the International Documentary Association.  Using himself as a fast-food guinea pig, Spurlock shed revealing light on the epidemic of obesity in America.  Spurlock has also executive produced and starred in three seasons of the highly acclaimed FX original series "30 Days,” which examine social issues in America by immersing individuals in a life that allows them to see the world through another's eyes.   The series was nominated for a Producer's Guild Award and won a GLAAD Media Award for best non-fiction television series.                       In 2008, Spurlock directed his second feature length documentary, WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN?, which followed Spurlock around the Middle East on the hunt for the elusive Al Qaeda leader. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, the film opened to rave reviews.

Tough Guys
Executive Producer
10 years before the debut of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In 1979, Bill Viola and Frank Caliguri dreamed up a contest pitting barroom bigmouths against wrestlers, martial artists, boxers, bouncers and brawlers, billed as no-holds-barred new type of competitive fighting. When the fights succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, they were swept up in a chain of events that ended in the first mixed-martial arts ban in the nation. “Tough Guys” chronicles the inception of Caliguri and Viola’s first bouts and the colorful, crazy cast of fighters who made them a hit as well as the politicians who brought it all crashing down. The film brings to life a moment when the national martial arts craze was building to a crescendo as the economies of Pennsylvania steel towns were plummeting to levels of unemployment never seen, breeding desperate men looking for a chance to prove their worth and make some money in the ring.

Так где же ты, Усама бен Ладен?
Morgan Spurlock
Если режиссёр Морган Сперлок что-то и узнал после тридцати лет непрерывного просмотра кинофильмов, это то, что мир нуждается в спасении. И лучше всего, если этим займется герой-одиночка. Поэтому, безо всякой помощи ФБР, ЦРУ и прочих специализированных агентств, не пройдя школу армейской подготовки, он отправляется на поиски самого опасного преступника — Усамы Бин Ладена. Зачем ему это нужно — заниматься заведомо провальным делом? Все проще простого — он хочет обезопасить мир ради своего пока еще не рожденного ребенка. Но перед тем, как он попытается найти Усаму, ему придется выяснить, откуда тот родом, что заставило его стать тем, кто он есть и, что самое важное, что больше всего повлияло на Бин Ладена.
