6.2 Сюжет (англ.)
Christian Gerhartsreiter, a man eventually known as "Clark Rockefeller", lived a life of deception; the FBI called it "the longest-running con in FBI history." After ingratiating himself into New York society and marrying a top banker with a Harvard MBA, "Clark" settled into his new luxurious life. The two had a daughter, before they divorced after 13 years. When his wife won custody, a distraught Clark abducted his beloved daughter. Ironically, it was the search for the missing child that not only exposed a web of lies and multiple identities, but a double murder committed decades earlier. How was Gerhartsreiter able to dupe so many people - from the very cream of society? What buttons did he press? We followed his trail and collected the reflections of those close to him. His friends who were left in the wake of his roller-coaster journey: from a Bavarian village to the most exclusive clubs on the American East Coast - to the grand finale in a Los Angeles court room. Here a jury recently found him guilty of murder, he was sentenced to 27 years in prison. After the sentencing we interviewed him exclusively together with best-selling author Walter Kirn.

У грудні 2005 року Деніела Мак-Гована заарештували федеральні агенти під час загальнонаціональної чистки радикальних екологів, які належали до Earth Liberation Front (Фронту звільнення Землі – ELF). Earth Liberation Front – група, яку ФБР характеризує як "місцеву терористичну загрозу номер один". ELF, що протягом років діяв окремими анонімними осередками, без будь-якого централізованого керівництва, почав влаштовувати підпали проти десятків бізнес-структур, винних у знищенні природи. З арештом Деніела і тринадцятьох інших активістів уряд розкрив найбільший осередок ELF в Америці, який відповідав за перші підпали в країні.Фільм розповідає історію злету й падіння осередку ELF, фокусуючись на транформації й радикалізації одного з його членів, і ставить складні питання про рух на захист довкілля, активізм і наші підходи до визначення тероризму.

The story of the battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor of brutal domestic violence. Over 26 years in prison cannot crush the spirit of this determined African-American woman, despite the injustices she has experienced, first at the hands of a duplicitous boyfriend who beat her and forced her into prostitution, and later by prosecutors who cornered her into a life behind bars for her connection to the murder of her abuser. Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when a pair of rookie land-use attorneys cut their teeth on her case -- and attract global attention to the troubled intersection of domestic violence and criminal justice.

Анвар Конго з друзями танцювали в музичних номерах, заламували руки в гангстерських сценах фільму нуар та скакали преріями, мов справжні ковбої. Їхня спроба створити кіно святкується та обговорюється на телебаченні, незважаючи на те, що Анвар та його друзі - масові вбивці. Медан, Індонезія. Коли військові скинули індонезійський уряд у 1965 році, з дрібного гангстера, що збував квитки в кіно на чорному ринку, Анвар перетворився на керівника загону смерті. Він з друзями допомогли армії знищити більше мільйона комуністів, етнічних китайців та інтелектуалів менше, ніж за рік. В якості ката загону смерті Анвар власноруч вбив сотні людей. Документальна стрічка, переважна більшість творців якої вирішили залишитись анонімами.
