Interesting films to look out for:

The Constant Gardener

Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz

Fiennes is a diplomat in kenya who uncovers a huge Phamaceutical conspiracy when his activist wife is murdered. The acting should be impressive... Love topics like this. For real life Pharmaceutical scandals going on right now see here and here.

The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till

Documentary by Keith A. Beauchamp

Emmett Till was the 14 year old African-American boy who was murdered in Mississipi,1955, for whistling at a white woman. His murder helped to mobilise the civil rights movement, but his murderers got away thanks to an all white jury. This new documentary is forcing the case back on the table. Maybe after all these years Emmett will finally get a little justice.

The Aristocrats

Documentary in which a hundred comedians all tell the same filthy joke, and the art is in the telling...
