Product Description

Take an unflinching look at the ultimate punishment, and go inside some of America's most notorious prisons to visit men sentenced to death. A&E debates one of the most controversial issues of law enforcement in American Justice: Death Penalty. In the 1960s, the death penalty was declared unconstitutional because of its inherent inequalities and randomness. A decade later, the Supreme Court reinstated the punishment beginning a societal argument that still rages on. A balanced view of the death penalty is presented with experts on both sides. The political and religious ramifications are introduced through interviews. So-called "Red Light Bandit" Caryl Chessman represents the personal side of the death penalty. His fight for freedom ended with his execution in the 1960s, after a prolonged court battle in California that attracted international attention and triggered widespread vigorous protests against capital punishment. He was the last person to die before the practice was forbidden.

Colfax Avenue, the longest commercial boulevard in the nation, running west from the city of Aurora, through the heart of Denver, to the base of the Colorado Rockies is a cultural icon and one of the most fascinating streets in the country. This distinctive boulevard is a crossroads of ethnicities characterized by historic neighborhoods, dive bars, porn shops, concert venues, homeless shelters, and community organizations. However, what makes Colfax truly unique are the individuals who live, work and survive on the street, and it is these people and their boulevard that represent the soul of Denver, Colorado.

Colfax Ave, a documentary film by Michael Jacobs and Dan Silverstein brings this incredible street to life by exploring gentrification, homelessness, crime and culture and how these elements affect the street.

Product Description

At 9:02 a.m., on April 19, 1995, a massive explosion detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, collapsing the 9-story building and killing 168, 19 of them children, and wounding more than 700. Convicted by the federal government and executed in June 2001, Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh claimed he acted alone. Yet, multiple eyewitnesses identified McVeigh at ground zero with unknown accomplices before and after the blast. The original indictment charged McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and "others unknown" with conspiracy and murder. Was the bombing part of a greater pattern of Middle East-sponsored terrorist attacks, including the 1993 World Trade Center attack, bombing of the Khobar Towers and the USS Cole, and 9/11? Were homegrown neo-Nazi militia groups involved?

My colleagues and I have seen a lot of what drugs can do to a neighborhood and to the people who live there. We have never seen anything quite as bad as the section of north Philadelphia. Almost everything about this part of town is cheap, sleazy, decaying and sad. It is an overripe cliche, down to the name the residents have given their neighborhood: the Badlands. It is the worst of what happens when the drug trade takes over a house, and then a street, and then a block. It's as invasive as crabgrass, as destructive as cancer." - Ted Koppel

But how does it get started, and what happens to people in the neighborhood who want to keep the disease from spreading to their block? In this Nightline special, people are sometimes breathtakingly candid about what's happening to them and their families. One of the heroin addicts, a man who goes by the street name of 'Tombstone,' suggested that what's missing these days is a sense of shame."

Product Description

A Catholic priest starts a worldwide cultish religious order, demands that no one criticize him, befriends every Pope since 1946 -- and is a pedophile.
This DVD contains both English and Spanish versions of the film. The Spanish version (Votos de Silencio) is narrated by CNN's Carmen Aristegui. As extras, the DVD also contains additional interviews.
Vows of Silence is an anatomy of the Vatican justice system, following the haunting saga of Father Marcial Maciel, who won the favor of Pope John Paul II despite years of pedophilia accusations. The greatest fundraiser of the modern church, Maciel founded the Legionaries of Christ, a religious order with a $650 million budget and history of controversial tactics.
The film becomes a mystery story as it tracks abuse complaints filed in the Vatican against Maciel dating back to the 1950s, moving on to 1998 abuse charges against Maciel filed with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The Secretary of State, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, tries to abort the case. In 2004, with Pope John Paul II dying, Ratzinger finally takes action. The film follows a secret Vatican investigator as witnesses testify about Maciel's sexual abuse, psychological tyranny, and the secret vows he imposed to secure Legionaries' silence.
With location shoots in Rome, Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Milwaukee and New Orleans, the film tracks Maciel's rise from war-torn Mexico, gaining the support of the Spanish dictator, Franco, and cementing ties with Vatican officials. A former Vatican official breaks his silence in an interview criticizing the Legion's cult-like atmosphere.
As the evidence mounts, Ratzinger, as Pope Benedict XVI, must decide the price of justice.
See the trailer for the film on Youtube.
