As writer and director Jim Jarmusch delves into the normal pace of our world from an extraordinary angle, he shows just how absorbing the obsessions, joys, and addictions of life can be.

Get on the Bus -- Spike Lee directs an all-star cast in this compelling look at a group of men traveling together to attend the Million Man March in Washington, D.C.
