Hallelujah
Minnie
Christmas at the Messiah Church in Washington D.C. A young preacher and, later in the day, a mysterious pregnant girl arrive at the church doors looking to begin new lives. The preacher, the Reverend Oliver Crawford, is not the judgmental church committee's first choice to be the Messiah's new pastor; an unwed father of a teenage son, he is given only two days to prove his worth to his new parishioners. Meanwhile, Katherine, a sixteen-year-old girl who is about to give birth, has come to the area to escape an abusive home and to search for a grandfather she doesn't know. With the help of local homeless advocate "Big" Willie Thorton, Crawford attempts to revive the spirit of the church and provide solace to the displaced girl.

Tales of the Unknown South
"Ashes"

Брат с другой планеты
West Indian Woman
Возможно, самая интересная работа Сэйлза сочетает в себе сатиру с захватывающим, фантастическим сюжетом. Брат, беглый раб с безымянной планеты, совершает вынужденную посадку на острове Эллис, и его космический корабль терпит крушение. Он не знает языка, одет в лохмотья, кожа у него смуглая — естественно, все принимают Брата за чернокожего бомжа. Нью-йоркцы относятся к нему с презрением и жалостью. После нескольких обескураживающих контактов с белыми землянами он добирается до Гарлема, где и обретает пристанище в местном баре. Местные выпивохи находят его странноватым, но направляют к социальному работнику, так как видеоигры он, как оказалось, мог ремонтировать одним прикосновением руки. А на хвосте у беглого инопланетного раба уже сидят двое белых инопланетян, одетых в черное. Их цель — поймать и вернуть беглого раба. Помимо великолепной игры Мортона, фильм сверкает множеством незабываемых находок и виньеток — Америка уведена глазами пришельца, и придумано все это очень забавно.
