Movie

From 1978 to 1982, Glenn OBrien hosted a New York city public access cable TV show called TV Party. Co-hosted by Chris Stein, from Blondie, and directed by filmmaker Amos Poe, the hour long show took television where it had never gone before: to the edge of civility and \sub-realism\ as Glenn would put it. Walter Steding and his TV Party \Orchestra\ provided a musical accompaniment to the madness at hand, and many artists and musicians, from The Clash, Nile Rodgers, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Bryne and Arto Lindsey were regular guests. It was the cocktail party that could be a political party. With 80 hours of disintegrating 3/4 inch videotape as a starting point, we tracked down the trend setting participants still living today and found out what they remember of the period and how the show influenced their lives. This, combined with clips from the orginal show, became the documentary \TV Party.

Hitlers Courts - Betrayal of the rule of Law in Nazi Germany

6.2

2005

Movie

HD

Documentary about the legal system in Nazi Germany featuring archival footage from the Nazi era, rare photographs, and interviews with various leading voices in international law including writer Joshua Greene, a Canadian lawyer himself. Hitlers Courts provides a vivid, accessible account of the role of law and lawyers during the Nazi era, and continues to be relevant today in American society as we wrestle with the difficult balance between civil liberties and national security. Democracy is fragile, and the experience of Germany in the 1930s and 1940s demonstrates how even a constitutionally governed nation could succumb to the rhetoric of despots. Without vigilance on the part of our lawyers and judges, the men and women who are charged with the task of safeguarding the rule of law, any nation is vulnerable to the effects of fear and propaganda. Greene suggests that his should be the most enduring lesson of the documentary.
