His trademark: gray mustache and iron look. The US actor Charles Bronson was one of the famous "tough men" in Hollywood. He knocked Robert Redford down, shot Henry Fonda, coached Elvis, toasted Alain Delon, flirted with Liz Taylor, shot anything that moved, and beat up generations of extras. Over the course of his 40-plus year career, Bronson starred in nearly 100 films. He became known as a revenge-seeking antihero who enjoys killing. But success only came at an advanced age. As a silent harmonica player, he became an international star, but first had to see red and start a controversial revenge campaign on the screen so that he could also make a breakthrough in his home country. The documentary explores the contradictions of an actor who often played the antihero on screen, but who lived in private as a husband and father of seven children. With numerous archive images and film excerpts the filmmakers look back at the story of a former miner who later became a film star.

"What if something you changed caused unintended consequences you never imagined?" Safeguard: An Electoral College Story asks that question about presidential elections. How does the system really work? And what would happen if we changed the rules? Alexander Hamilton and James Madison worked to create and defend the Electoral College system in the U.S. Constitution. The process is democratic-but it works in stages, and through the states. This design forces candidates to reach out across the country rather than focusing on just one region or group of population centers. And it keeps presidents from controlling elections-including their own reelections. Publisher and former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, Princeton historian Allen Guelzo, and a host of experts explain why we really have the Electoral College, what it does, and what could happen if we got rid of it. The New York Times warned in 1977, "the political habits, traditions and expectations that have grown up around the Electoral College have served the nation well. If they are to be maintained, the College has to be preserved rather than lightly abandoned in favor of a vacuum." Is any of that still true today? Safeguard: An Electoral College Story avoids the partisan bickering to ask the big questions. Is democracy just "two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner," like some people say? Or can a democratic system be designed to protect minority rights? Does our Constitution strike the right balance? "The Constitution - must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard for our liberties." -Abraham Lincoln.

Haitian Song is a lyrical portrait of life in a small village in rural Haiti. The film focuses on the "rituals" which compose the texture of everyday life: getting water from the river; making rope by hand from sisal; cooking rice and beans in an outdoor kitchen; planting and harvesting. Through intimate and detailed scenes, the film follows Gustav and Zilmen, a man and a woman, through the cycle of their day and follows the larger community through the cycles of the week: the market on Tuesday; the cockfight on Saturday; the dance on Sunday. Narrated entirely in Creole (with English subtitles) by Haitian peasants and interwoven throughout with haunting songs, the film evokes a mood and feeling of rural village life. It is highly visual, as well as informative and educational.

Presents a profile of the Z Channel, one of the US's first and at the time most successful pay cable stations launched in 1974, this one serving much of Los Angeles, and of its programming director in the 1980s, Jerry Harvey, who is credited with much of its success. A highly knowledgeable cinephile, Harvey programmed an eclectic mix of movies in an era where access to films in general was limited to cinemas or traditional television just as home video was emerging. His programming was much like film festivals, thus opening up such to larger audiences than could access movies at traditional festivals. He provided viewers access to hard to find movies, many unknown to the general public until he programmed them. He also championed certain, often previously panned movies and filmmakers, many who became his friends. Many of those movies were what was then emerging of director's cuts in he wanting to show a film as a director had envisioned as opposed to what a movie studio had dictated. The most famous in that category is Michael Cimino's highly derided Heaven's Gate (1980), that derision until it was shown on Z in its extended cut as Cimino had intended. Much of what Harvey was able to achieve at Z is overshadowed by his personal life, in he, having mental health issues which ran in his family - his largely associated with obsessive behavior - committing a murder (of who was his second and then current wife, Deri Rudulph)/suicide just before the demise of Z itself for other reasons.

On the night of April 14, 1912, the most famous ship in history, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. Within 3 hours she succumbed to her damage and one of history's most intriguing mysteries was born.

With fascinating testimony, back-alley investigation, and riveting flashbacks to that fateful night, Unsinkable shines a light on why the Titanic disaster has endured for over 100 years.

From early on in his career, Andy Warhol had an extraordinary ability to find the sacred in the profane. Like so many successful Americans, he was a product of Eastern European immigrant experience, who himself became an icon - a shy, gay, working-class man who became the court painter of the 1960s and 70s. He was the most glamorous figure of 20th Century American Art. He surrounded himself with the elite of New York City - people who all give compelling yet competing commentaries of their time with him. Warhol was certainly an enigma, and yet, ironically, he is one of the world's most well-known artists and a cult figure. Popular culture inspired his art; Warhol used instantly accessible images to reach mass audiences. He gave Americans what was already theirs, both critiquing and glorifying American culture and the American way of life. Above all, Warhol was a chronicler of modern life. He redefined art and what art can be, what it can mean, who has access to art, who can make art, and whose voice matters. His artwork still resonates with the public decades after they were created. His impact has most definitely lasted much longer than fifteen minutes.
