From acclaimed Chicago filmmaking collective Kartemquin Films comes a collection of three important LABOR STORIES of the 1970s - "HSA Strike - 75," "U.E. Wells," and "What's Happening at Local 70." Kartemquin, renowned for its legacy of artistic and socially relevant documentaries, (its alumni created the celebrated HOOP DREAMS) offers the stories of the epic struggles of three separate unions in this anthology. These films not only allowed the workers and their unions to tell their compelling stories but they also affected the course of events for each union. This powerful and informative collection of politically conscious documentaries explores three of the 1970s' most crucial labor issues: "HSA Strike '75," about doctors who band together to get their hospital patients better health care; "U.E. Wells," which focuses on the United Electrical Workers' struggle to organize a foundry; and "What's Happening at Local 70," which captures compensation workers as they strike to improve their working conditions. The product of the creatively fertile Kartemquin film collective of Chicago (incubator of talents like the makers of HOOP DREAMS), these gritty and illuminating shorts not only tell powerful stories, but actually had a hand in their outcomes.

Nine Emmy awards were given to this masterful production of the fictitious account of life from a 110-year-old slave. The script covers the life of Miss Jane Pittman (Cicely Tyson) from her days as a slave during the the Civil War to the start of the civil rights movement in the 1960's. The scene when she drinks from the "white's only" water fountain due to the Jim Crow laws in the segregated south is one of the most defining moments in the film. Based on the novel by Ernest J. Gaines.

In this humid, atmospheric film noir, a sweltering summer in south Florida sets the stage for a dark romance between an attorney and a beautiful woman as they plot her wealthy husband's early demise. Mickey Rourke's debut as an arson expert on parole is convincing and the script by Kasdan is dazzlingly treacherous.
