A long look at John Cassavetes's films, life (1929-1989), and exploration of how people love. The documentary is composed of Cassavetes's words spoken by an off-screen narrator, clips from his films, photos and clips of him on and off the set, and family, friends, and colleagues talking about his films and what it was like to work with him. The movie explores his focus on emotion, the way he drew out actors, his collaborative process, his energy and joie de vivre, his serious purposes, and the meaning and lasting impact of his work: how adults behave, interact, and seek love rather than how a plot works out.

The miners' strike 1984 was one of the longest and most brutal in British labour history. A community fighting for jobs and survival was wholly denigrated and depicted as violent by the majority of the media. THE BATTLE FOR ORGREAVE puts the record straight, as miners recount their own history, their economic and political struggles over decades and the trial they endured for 48 days in Sheffield when charged with riot at Orgreave - facing life imprisonment. Containing compelling testimonies, emotive cinematography, in depth analysis coupled with meticulous detail of the mass picket and the ensuing events of June 18 1984 at the Orgreave coking plant, the documentary also has unique footage of police violence -- all these make this an historic and important document of our time.

On the morning of December 7, 1941, a swarm of fighter planes - each bearing the fiery red sun of Imperial Japan - soared over Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. At 7:53am, a Japanese commander radioed to his pilots the code-words “Tora, Tora, Tora”. Within minutes, bombs and torpedoes reigned down from the sky on the unsuspecting US Navy fleet sitting at anchor, and a massive Japanese air fleet of over 300 planes had crippled US naval power in the Pacific with one of the most daring military manoeuvres in history. The United States’ shock and anger over the Japanese attach served to rally a nation and led directly to the US military’s decisive entry into the war. This fascinating feature-length documentary takes an in-depth look at the real story of Pearl Harbour, from the build-up to the attack, and the insurmountable damage and destruction caused on that infamous day.
