Let Them Wear Towels
During the 1977 World Series, Sports Illustrated reporter Melissa Ludtke was denied access to the players' locker room. After a very public fight, the door was opened, but the debate about female journalists in the male sanctum of the clubhouse remained. Through interviews with pioneering female sports writers, Let Them Wear Towels captures the raw behavior, humorous retaliation, angry lawsuits and remarkable resolve that went into the struggle for equal access for women reporters.

other title: 绝密档案——不明飞行物
不明飞行物,从科学的角度而言又称“未确认飞行物”,英文全称为“Unidentified flying object”。而其缩写——UFO,则是全世界人都知道的一个标识着神奇的代名词。
自人类文明开端以来,关于不明飞行物的记载和传说就屡见不鲜。20世纪以前较完整的不明飞行物目击报告有300件以上。而从20世纪40年代末起,不明飞行物目击事件急剧增多,引起了科学界的争论。持否定态度的科学家认为很多目击报告不可信,不明飞行物并不存在,只不过是人们的幻觉或是目击者对自然现象的一种曲解。肯定者则认为不明飞行物是一种真实现象,正在被越来越多的事实所证实。到80年代为止,全世界共有目击报告约10万件。在现实中,无论是通古斯大爆炸,还是诺斯维尔事件,都让众多UFO发烧友和各路科学家不断探求事件真相。
于是,在人们的口耳相传中,神秘的UFO也成为了不可解释的超自然现象的同义词。在这样的背景下,人类展现出了强大的智慧与想象力。从ET到“X档案”,从纳粹飞碟到星球大战,从星际迷航到时空穿梭……人类世界的科幻作品因为UFO的出现大幅加快了前进的脚步。
我们肉眼看到的UFO真都是来自星星的都教授们的座驾吗?还是其中另有隐情?

The End of America
director: Ricki Stern / Anne Sundberg actor: David Antoon / Vincent Cannistraro
other title: 美国的末日
The End of America details the ten steps a country takes when it slides toward fascism. It's not a "lefty"tot tome, rather a historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history that are being repeated in our country today. It gives any reader (or viewer of the lecture) a much-needed history lesson and constitutional refresher. Most importantly, it puts the recent gradual loss of civil liberties in the U.S. in a historical context. The average American might not be alarmed at AT&T selling our private information to the Bush administration, but when this action is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear.

The Trials of Darryl Hunt
other title: 世纪审判 / 达里尔·亨特的审判
"The Trials of Darryl Hunt" is a feature documentary about a brutal rape/murder case and a wrongly convicted man, Darryl Hunt, who spent nearly twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Both a social justice story and a personally driven narrative, the film chronicles this capital case from 1984 through 2004. With exclusive footage from two decades, the film frames the judicial and emotional response to a chilling crime - and the implications that reverberate from Hunt's conviction - against a backdrop of class and racial bias in the South and in the American criminal justice system.
