Painted re d\, white and blue\, the 1970s sedans are frozen in action from Moreau's illustrious 40-year-plus daredevil career. 'When I die\,' the aging st untman says\, 'whoever puts my obituary in the paper has to put the name 'Crash' in there or nobody would know me.'Known as the 'Maine Maniac\,' Moreau is one of the last auto thrill show veterans still on the road. In the 1950s\, 60s and 70s\, several dozen 'Hell Driver' stunt teams cr ossed North America and staged auto 'accidents' for family entertainment . The most successful operation\, the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show\, had fi ve daredevil units simultaneously performing at race tracks and county f airs.Hell Drivers smashed through tunnels of fire - and barreled through walls of ice. Animal rights activists be damned\, they also jumped cars over circus elephants. The late Evel Knievel was inspired to jump motor cycles after a thrill show visited his hometown fair in Montana. Major c ar manufacturers used to compete for the advertising rights to auto thri ll shows\, but the lucrative sponsorships have long disappeared. A few surviving daredevils now fight to keep the tradition alive\, refusing to rust away like Crash's junk car sculpture garden. Meet the last Americ an 'Hell Drivers\,' a traveling band of stuntmen who earn a living as re al-life crash test dummies. At county fairs and small racetracks across the country\, these gutsy characters smash school busses\, mobile homes\ , and the occasional flaming garbage truck -- with no more protection th an a motorcycle helmet and ordinary seatbelt. Harboring no dreams for Ho llywood\, these guys barely earn enough to fill their gas tanks. But for them\, almost dying is the only way to live. Featured daredevils also i nclude Guinness Book of World Records star Doug Danger\, who has jumped his motorcycle over a jumbo jet\; Michigan's second-generation 'Hell Dri ver' Rocky 'Hardcore' Hauri\; Firewall champion Louis 'Rocket' Re and hi s gorilla alter-ego\, King Kong Knievel.

'TMO @ The Castle' covers the early naval prison years and the work of prison reformer Thomas Mott Osborne of Auburn\, New York. Osborne re flects the progressive thinking of the time regarding prison reform by i ntroducing his system\, the 'Mutual Welfare League'\, to Auburn\, Sing S ing and now the Portsmouth naval military prison (100 years old this yea r) which is located on a bluff in the Piscataqua River. He was an indus trialist\, a School Board member\, mayor of Auburn\, and a prison warden . Controversy and scandal was ever present during his prison years\, in cluding those spent at the Portsmouth Naval Prison.David Connelly's inte rview forms the narrative of the film with his insights into the life of a man who is not only the former warden of Auburn and Sing Sing state p risons in New York but also the only civilian commander of the Portsmout h Naval Prison. Osborne is also a man who comes from great family wealt h\, is a major success in business but also has a family history of wome n's rights reform. In additon\, there is rarely seen footage of a 1926 (sound film) where Osborne speaks about his viewpoints on reform and foo tage not seen in over 80 years of a movie Thomas Mott Osborne personally supervised where Portsmouth Naval prisoners were used as extras.From th e producer of The Castle.

Their specialty is going where death from landmines\, bullets\, or bombs is a s frequent as death from hunger\, disease\, or the elements. As Laws tel ls it simply\, 'We do what we can\, when we can\, because we can.'Artis\ , Laws and Ratterman are a fusion of Mother Teresa and Indiana Jones. T heir personal convictions and courage drive them to places like Afghanis tan\, Albania\, Chechnya\, Cambodia\, Rwanda and the southern Philippine s\, often before other aid organizations arrive. The three are still on the ground when other aid organizations deem things too dangerous and p ull out.

DESCRIPTION:Wake up\, America! We're on the brink of a financial meltdown . I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its c onsequences for the United States and its citizens. Burdened with an eve r-expanding government and military\, increased international competitio n\, overextended entitlement programs\, and debts to foreign countries t hat are becoming impossible to honor\, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions. Throughout histo ry\, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend onl y what has been raised through taxes. Wielding candid interviews with bo th average American taxpayers and government officials\, Sundance vetera n Patrick Creadon (Wordplay) helps demystify the nation's financial prac tices and policies. The film follows former U.S. Comptroller General Dav id Walker as he crisscrosses the country explaining America's unsustaina ble fiscal policies to its citizens. With surgical precision\, Creadon i nterweaves archival footage and economic data to paint a vivid and alarm ing profile of America's current economic situation. The ultimate power of I.O.U.S.A. is that the film moves beyond doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose solutions about how we can re create a fiscally sound nation for future generations.

Once water was considered to be nature's endowment to life. Like air\, we took it for granted and eve n if one did not possess the means to have it delivered to our doorstep\ , water was free for us to access in the rivers and streams of our commu nities. Environmental degradation\, industrial pollution\, population gr owth and climate change have all contributed to our precarious relations hip to water. The majority of humanity is faced with a potable water cri sis. In the developing world\, women and children walk longer distances everyday to fetch water of questionable quality to fulfill their daily n eeds for survival. Bad water feeds the vicious cycle of ill health and p overty.Governments\, international organizations and corporations combin e their efforts to build large and expensive infrastructure projects. Bi g dams bring prosperity at the cost of environmental degradation and the uprooting of the lives of millions of people. Great rivers and waterway s\, that once provided free access to potable water\, now carry the toxi c burden of industrial society and the teeming millions that depended on free access to natural water sources for survival are offered piped saf e water service - but at a price.

Against the backdrop of suburban utopia\, the Bernstein\nfamily leads a dysfunctiona l existence. With three foul-mouthed kids\, a caffeine-addict\nmother on the brink and a less than forthcoming father\, they suffer an atmospher e so heavy\nwith collective hostility and tension it seems as if the flo ral-papered walls will come\ncrashing down any minute. Forced to the bre aking point\, they concede to a family therapy\nsession\, where it quick ly becomes clear that what's wrong is “about a lot more than dry\nturkey .” Anger and antagonism give way to moments of self-revelation\, as a pa tient and\ncompassionate Dr. Livingston draws out demons and dark secret s\, and the family begins to\nconfront and accept their own humanity. Br utally comic\, warmly intimate\, always honest\,\nLifelines is an impres sively fresh take on the family drama.

Lee. One of the most colo rful and controversial figures to play the game\, Bill?s rebellious spir it\, fun-loving attitude\, spirit-of-the-60s philosophy endeared him to fans but pitted him squarely in opposition to the corporate baseball est ablishment. And Bill did not back down.Rumor had it that Bill was black balled from baseball\, a conspiracy that has never been uncovered. How could the fun loving ?Spaceman? be kicked out of baseball? Why? Too co ntroversial ? or simply washed up? 'High & Outside' looks for answers. Anything but conventional\, Bill was the first professional athlete to a dmit using marijuana\; he took sides on everything from artificial turf to segregation in schools. A "baseball utopian\," Bill was actively inv olved in the early days of the baseball players union. He staged one-ma n walkouts but opposed the 1981 strike. Lee was a voice of reason and s anity in a game corrupted by 'planet-polluting owners' and the corporate mindset. He was consistently unpredictable\, 'a free man\, and a free-r adical\, not owned by any corporation\, yet becoming increasingly diffic ult to handle for owners and management. 'High and Outside' reveals Bil l's enigmatic personality and the unlikely story of Bill's banishment fr om the game. In the tradition of 'Bang the Drum Slowly'\, and 'Fear Str ikes Out'\, 'High and Outside' will make you think\, especially make you laugh\, and remind you that there is more to baseball than steroids\, s alaries\, and the bottom line.

Told entirely from the children?s point of view\, the film captures wi th vivid poignancy the tragic ramifications of the greatest man made and natural disaster in modern American History. By focusing exclusively on children?s experiences\, KATRINA'S CHILDREN humanizes this epic storm a nd seeks to understand the heartbreaking consequences in a small intimat e way. Part oral history\, part lyrical meditation on childhood\, loss\, grief\, healing and socio-economic divides\, KATRINA'S CHILDREN address es these grand themes through intimate vignettes that are deceivingly un derstated.The film shifts between past and present\, weaving the childre n's thoughts on Katrina with 'verite-style' scenes of their everyday lif e. We enter the children's world through their stories\, play and art an d we have animated several of their drawings\, magically bringing to lif e their interior universe.The children we are profiling come from all wa lks of life: from the daughter of the queen of Carnival\, to underprivil eged kids still stuck in Texas. Their common denominator is Katrina - an event that affected them all\, to varying degrees. The similarities and differences between these children are at times surprising and reveal p atterns and problems that predate Katrina. Aching with sadness\, yet gro unded in hope\, KATRINA'S CHILDREN is ultimately a celebration of childr en's extraordinary power of resilience and a tribute to New Orleans' uni que and indomitable spirit.

Painted re d\, white and blue\, the 1970s sedans are frozen in action from Moreau's illustrious 40-year-plus daredevil career. 'When I die\,' the aging st untman says\, 'whoever puts my obituary in the paper has to put the name 'Crash' in there or nobody would know me.'Known as the 'Maine Maniac\,' Moreau is one of the last auto thrill show veterans still on the road. In the 1950s\, 60s and 70s\, several dozen 'Hell Driver' stunt teams cr ossed North America and staged auto 'accidents' for family entertainment . The most successful operation\, the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show\, had fi ve daredevil units simultaneously performing at race tracks and county f airs.Hell Drivers smashed through tunnels of fire - and barreled through walls of ice. Animal rights activists be damned\, they also jumped cars over circus elephants. The late Evel Knievel was inspired to jump motor cycles after a thrill show visited his hometown fair in Montana. Major c ar manufacturers used to compete for the advertising rights to auto thri ll shows\, but the lucrative sponsorships have long disappeared. A few surviving daredevils now fight to keep the tradition alive\, refusing to rust away like Crash's junk car sculpture garden. Meet the last Americ an 'Hell Drivers\,' a traveling band of stuntmen who earn a living as re al-life crash test dummies. At county fairs and small racetracks across the country\, these gutsy characters smash school busses\, mobile homes\ , and the occasional flaming garbage truck -- with no more protection th an a motorcycle helmet and ordinary seatbelt. Harboring no dreams for Ho llywood\, these guys barely earn enough to fill their gas tanks. But for them\, almost dying is the only way to live. Featured daredevils also i nclude Guinness Book of World Records star Doug Danger\, who has jumped his motorcycle over a jumbo jet\; Michigan's second-generation 'Hell Dri ver' Rocky 'Hardcore' Hauri\; Firewall champion Louis 'Rocket' Re and hi s gorilla alter-ego\, King Kong Knievel.

Lee. One of the most colo rful and controversial figures to play the game\, Bill?s rebellious spir it\, fun-loving attitude\, spirit-of-the-60s philosophy endeared him to fans but pitted him squarely in opposition to the corporate baseball est ablishment. And Bill did not back down.Rumor had it that Bill was black balled from baseball\, a conspiracy that has never been uncovered. How could the fun loving ?Spaceman? be kicked out of baseball? Why? Too co ntroversial ? or simply washed up? 'High & Outside' looks for answers. Anything but conventional\, Bill was the first professional athlete to a dmit using marijuana\; he took sides on everything from artificial turf to segregation in schools. A "baseball utopian\," Bill was actively inv olved in the early days of the baseball players union. He staged one-ma n walkouts but opposed the 1981 strike. Lee was a voice of reason and s anity in a game corrupted by 'planet-polluting owners' and the corporate mindset. He was consistently unpredictable\, 'a free man\, and a free-r adical\, not owned by any corporation\, yet becoming increasingly diffic ult to handle for owners and management. 'High and Outside' reveals Bil l's enigmatic personality and the unlikely story of Bill's banishment fr om the game. In the tradition of 'Bang the Drum Slowly'\, and 'Fear Str ikes Out'\, 'High and Outside' will make you think\, especially make you laugh\, and remind you that there is more to baseball than steroids\, s alaries\, and the bottom line.

Burdened with an eve r-expanding government and military\, increased international competitio n\, overextended entitlement programs\, and debts to foreign countries t hat are becoming impossible to honor\, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions. Throughout histo ry\, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend onl y what has been raised through taxes. Wielding candid interviews with bo th average American taxpayers and government officials\, Sundance vetera n Patrick Creadon (Wordplay) helps demystify the nation's financial prac tices and policies. The film follows former U.S. Comptroller General Dav id Walker as he crisscrosses the country explaining America's unsustaina ble fiscal policies to its citizens. With surgical precision\, Creadon i nterweaves archival footage and economic data to paint a vivid and alarm ing profile of America's current economic situation. The ultimate power of I.O.U.S.A. is that the film moves beyond doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose solutions about how we can re create a fiscally sound nation for future generations.
