We Were Famous, You Don't Remember: The Embarrassment
1
Formed in 1979 in Wichita, Kansas, the so-called "blister pop" band the Embarrassment played major U.S. cities and garnered praise from the likes of Allen Ginsberg, John Cale and Jonathan Demme, but their refusal to compromise their vision made success elusive. Through archival interviews and concert footage, this documentary draws a portrait of the oft-overlooked post-punk legends.

American Feud: A History of Conservatives and Liberals
2
This documentary fulfills a unique niche by taking a non-partisan, unbiased approach to the history of Liberalism and Conservatism in the United States. The film starts at the foundation of the country and continues though the 2006 election. Scholars, authors, historians and partisan activists are used not only to tell the history of each movement, but also to show how the meaning of each term has changed over time. Modern Conservatism is depicted as arising from opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, becoming a national movement in the 1960's and reaching its apex with Ronald Reagan. Modern Liberalism has its roots in the progressive era of the 1890's becoming dominant with the New Deal, and losing influence with the perceived failures of the "Great Society programs" and Vietnam war policies of Lyndon Johnson.

L’Âme divisée de l’Amérique
6.3
Sous l'administration du président républicain Donald Trump, les États-Unis d'Amérique sont un pays profondément divisé : un côté nourrit le populisme et la rectitude religieuse dans un paysage monochrome, peint en blanc, déplorant un passé qui ne reviendra jamais ; l'autre côté alimente la diversité et le multiculturalisme, une vision biaisée d'un avenir progressiste, plutôt improbable. Les deux parties s'affrontent constamment, sans s'écouter l'une l'autre. Seules quelques personnes raisonnables se réunissent pour changer cette situation potentiellement dangereuse.
