In 1972, "Deep Throat," a seemingly typical pornographic film, was released and managed to become one of the most successful independent films of all time. Self-appointed guardians of public morality struggled to suppress it, and almost paved a future where sexuality in film had a bold artistic potential. This documentary explores the making of Deep Throat and its widespread social impact.

This documentary looks into the detailed process of filmmaking, in particular, a one minute excerpt of a legendary light saber dueling scene between Obiwan Kennobe and his dark pupil Anakin Skywalker featured in Star Wars Episode III. It breaks down all jobs and duties of almost a thousand people involved to complete one of the most successful sagas in the movie history.

This is the documentary about Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, who subsequently became president of the World Bank. It will combine an interview with Mr. McNamara discussing some of the tragedies and glories of the 20th Century, archival footage, documents, and an original score by Philip Glass.

This rockumentary is a fine representation of a great band at the height of its artistic powers and popular influence. It documents U2's 1987 North American tour, following the success of their best selling album, The Joshua Tree. All the while, concert footage of the band's biggest hits on tour and some new recordings are featured while Bono speaks his mind on the problems of his homeland.
