With a natural photogenic poise and a vivaciously innocent risqué flair, there never was a pinup model like Bettie Page. Through Page's own words and interviews with her closest associates, we explore her extraordinary life growing up in a troubled childhood until she found a wild career as the Queen of the Pin-up Girls. In doing so, Page would challenge the paranoid sexual repression of the 1950s with uncommon grace until she walked away at the peak of her career.

Initially Fata Morgana was to be an African science fiction film, shot in Algerian Sahara. On arrival there is still Africa and Algeria, but it is no longer fiction or documentary. Fata Morgana is a kind of experimental epic poem in three parts: Creation, Paradise, and The Golden Age. A quasi-animist film which aims for trance and ecstasy through a shamanic collage of images, texts and music. Werner Herzog defined it as the first awakening and the first astonishment. An extraordinary experience, poetic and powerful but also deeply personal. Herzog underlines this in a conversation led by Michel Ciment for the magazine Positif (n°169): "The origin of Fata Morgana initially had a story close to science fiction. The first day of filming, I threw the script and I only kept the visions, this new perception of our world. I made the film like in a dream, when I was sleeping in the desert, I didn't know what I would shoot the next day. It was like a hallucination. I thought that Fata Morgana was so fragile, so close to what I felt deeply, that I didn't dare show it to my best friends and I had kept it a secret for a year. and a half before it was snatched from my hands for the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.

In the early 2000s, British-Canadian William Sampson, who was living and working in Saudi Arabia at the time, spent thirty-two months in Saudi captivity charged and convicted for a series of crimes, initially only a car bombing but later more serious crimes such as espionage, none of which he committed. He was one of four foreign detainees, all friends of his, for such crimes at that time. This account of the lead up to his arrest, his captivity, and his life following his release, is told largely by Sampson himself, but also by others who were involved in different aspects of his case and situation. A bit of his personal life is told in providing background as to his nature as a person, which was by no means as of saint. Speculation of why he and his fellow detainees were used as scapegoats is discussed, as well as the conditions for his ultimate release. But it is primarily the abuse and torture he endured, which included rape and being held largely in solitary confinement, and the methods he used to remain as sane as possible under these circumstances, while making his captors lives as difficult as possible, are presented. Through it all, he and many others have harsh words for both the Canadian and British governments, who they felt did not adequately assist in getting him humane conditions for his captivity, getting him released, and providing for a smooth transition back to a "normal" life after his release.
