  5.5 IMDB

  What is the common thread among the only four U.S. Presidents who have been assassinated: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy? They were also the only four presidents ever to take money-issuing control away from the private banks and turn it over to the U.S. Treasury. Within a year of each president doing so, they were murdered. And within months of their vice-president successors assuming their offices, they returned the money-issuing power to the private banks. "4 PRESIDENTS" provides the first-ever in-depth analysis of this very likely--and very frightening--historic conspiracy.

  Broken on All Sides: Race, Mass Incarceration and New Visions for Criminal Justice in the U.S. (2012)

  Genre:  Crime, Documentary, History, News

  2012

  1h 37m

  5.2 IMDB

  The project began as a way to explore, educate about, and advocate change around the overcrowding in the Philadelphia jail system. It has come to focus on mass incarceration across the nation and the intersection of race, poverty, and the criminal justice and penal systems. The documentary centers around Michelle Alexander's theory in her book, The New Jim Crow: since the rise of the drug war and explosion of prison populations, because discretion within the system allows for prosecution of people of color at disproportionately high rates, mass incarceration is a new version of Jim Crow. The movie also dissects the War on Drugs and 'tough on crime' movement, and offers possible reforms and solutions to ending mass incarceration and this new racial caste system.—Anonymous

  Napoleon (1927)

  Genre:  Biography, Drama, History, War

  1927

  1h 37m

  8.2 IMDB

  Cast:  Annabella

  A massive six-hour biopic of Napoleon, tracing his career from his schooldays (where a snowball fight is staged like a military campaign), his flight from Corsica, through the French Revolution (where a real storm is intercut with a political storm) and the Terror, culminating in his triumphant invasion of Italy in 1797 (the film stops there because it was intended to be part one of six, but director Abel Gance never raised the money to make the other five). The film's legendary reputation is due to the astonishing range of techniques that Gance uses to tell his story, culminating in the final twenty-minute triptych sequence, which alternates widescreen panoramas with complex multiple- image montages projected simultaneously on three screens.—Michael Brooke
