在研究Naomi Oreske 和 Erik Conway饱受赞扬的书后，Robert Kenner (FOOD INC.)进行了一个有趣又缜密的调查：关于支持工业科学的异见者。从宣扬核武器的人，再到烟草制造商兜售伪科学，再到科学变暖的异见者－－这个今天最为棘手的科学和政治问题。Kenner揭露了靠工业致富的专业异见者们如何把一些被科学界认定的事实悄悄地神秘化。一系列令人吃惊的气候变暖让异见者们高兴地承认了他们扭曲的心理。Kenner甚至可以找出那些驱使他们的信念。尤其是那些非常保守的美国议员们决定去南极看看那些冰盖。当他被自己看到的所惊呆的时候，他毅然决然地站在了守旧派的另一边。
A documentary on the history of garlic. Blank interviews chefs, garlic lovers, and historians about the their love of the 'stinking rose.'
Often referred to as a stinking rose, garlic, in its culinary uses, generally evokes a love it or hate it response. Quite often, these responses are on cultural lines, where old world cultures have generally revered it in their cooking, while new world cultures have not. A renaissance of sorts is taking place in the use of garlic in the United States, with more and more immigrants bringing their use of the spice to the country, with more people desiring more spice in their food, with a desire to get back to the land and with the production of plant a large part of the Central California landscape. Many chefs are presented preparing dishes prominently featuring the spice. On the bad side, the association of garlic to bad breath is discussed. On the other side, its purported health benefits are also discussed. Other topics presented include its association to vampirism, and speculation of how people will want their garlic to be presented to them in the future.
这部纪录片是对鲍勃迪伦1965年英国巡演的忠实记录，导演彭内贝克用影像清晰的说明那时的鲍勃迪伦与披头士是多么的不同。与同时期的《苦难日之夜》相比，《别回头》更直接，深刻，对自己的拍摄对象也没有造星般的刻意吹捧，甚至还毫不掩饰的可以嘲讽，但是，再冷静的镜头都无法掩盖年轻迪伦的灿烂光芒，同现在的老迪伦相比，年轻的他无与伦比的傲慢，机智，激情洋溢，而其中一段以垮掉派代表艾伦金斯堡为背景的开场更是弥足珍贵。

◎花 絮
「Disneynature」荣誉呈献首套大型生态记录片，带你走进人类鲜有踏足的神秘境，透过凌厉壮阔的形象，以及娓娓动人的配乐，揭开非洲红鹤的身世之谜。这部纪录片是在坦桑尼亚的纳特龙湖拍摄的，在坦桑尼亚北部与肯亚交界处的湖泊，位于阿鲁沙西北面113公里的东非大裂谷。湖长56公里，宽24公里，有盐、苏打、菱镁矿等矿藏。湖水温暖，成为大裂谷红鹳理想的繁殖场所。在纳特龙湖及周边水域，共生活着400万只火烈鸟。
在非洲坦桑尼亚北部的大裂谷中，座落不同的火山与湖泊，其中的立顿湖因为独特的地质环境成为红鹤鸟理想的繁殖场所。红鹤鸟的羽毛只有在繁殖期间，才会转成鲜红色；牠们为了孕育下一代，历尽艰辛、万里迁移，生生不息，构成一幅幅震撼心灵的生命蓝图。
红鹤鸟的数目因近年受到环境污染与大量猎捕，几近灭亡边缘，迪斯尼《天翅奇迹》为红鹤鸟留下珍贵的影像纪录，藉此唤起关注的声音。
为了拍摄影片，制作者在Natron湖边居住了14个月。
这是动物界最神奇的一个群体。坦桑尼亚北部的纳特龙湖水的咸度超过死海，可是在这个湖边聚集了大量火烈鸟，其数目之大超乎人们的想象。它们的筑巢之地如此偏远和荒凉，以至于直到1959年欧洲一个鸟类专家才发现这片充满毒气的鸟类栖息地。这种玫瑰色的火烈鸟属于6种普查鸟类中人们知之甚少的那一种，它们是最富有色彩、最神奇也是异常漂亮的鸟群。
记录许多着名摄影师的访谈，畅谈他们对摄影的看法，以及他们在参与拍摄电影过程，与各个导演合作的经验。片中并穿插经典片段，对映摄影师的说法，让一般观眾能更了解摄影师的工作与贡献。
严格来说，这并不是一部电影，应该说是“关于电影的纪录片”更合适。在这部电影中 ，我们也能发现以上介绍过的多部影片。例如《梦断情天》的摄影师Nestor Almendros，他在临死之前接受了这部电影的短暂采访。还有《末代皇帝》的摄影师Storaro等人。
从某种意义上说，是导演控制摄影师的拍摄手法。例如，《Rosemary's Baby》的导演Roman Polanski，在接受采访时多次提到，有时仅仅需要将摄像机多移动几个厘米，就能使影片的效果得到巨大提升。《In Cold Blood》的导演Conrad Hall，在1967年接受采访时，提到当年是如何选择并搭建了一个牢房，里面囚禁的是Robert Blake扮演的杀人犯，他即将走上绞刑架。雨水不停地打在铁窗上。Hall发现，如果摄像机放在某个特定的角度，雨滴的阴影看上去像Blake脸上的泪水。这个镜头后来成了影院中的催泪弹。
这部电影由数百个电影片段组成。影片结束后，你一定会深深地被摄像机背后的灵感和魔法打动。而静态摄影师也将从中获益匪浅。这是一部摄影科教片，数百个片段将指导你如何用光，如何选择合适的色调，如何使你的片子成为经典。
这部电影按年代划分为三个部分，第一部分是无声电影年代。第二部分是带旁白的黑白电影时期。第三部分是彩色电影时期。影片最后讨论了如何利用不同的色彩调动观众的情绪。

在本片中，《豪斯医生》主演休•劳瑞将脱下白大褂，换上村夫装。带领您一同前往美国新奥尔良，领略这座城市的魅力，聆听最原汁原味的蓝调音乐。他边弹边唱（你没听错，房子叔私下是位灰常有前途的蓝调歌手），将蓝调历史上的趣事信手捏来，抒发对这座城市和蓝调音乐由来已久的仰慕之情。可以说《休•劳瑞的蓝调之旅》不但是一部很好的蓝调知识启蒙素材，也是一场蓝调音乐盛宴。
片中休•劳瑞的新奥尔良试听会现场为2012年首次公开，之前只有少部分音乐评论人/记者有幸一睹。试听会曲目收于专辑《Let Them Talk(风言风语)》中，此专辑于2011年发行，旋即占据蓝调排行榜第一名，在流行榜上也有不俗表现，可以算是一张成功的专辑。专业评论界总的说赞扬声居多，但也有人质疑其唱功(vocalability)和感染力(delivery)。但不管怎么说，休•劳瑞是一位真正的音乐家、爱乐者，而绝不是哗众取宠之流。

In the radioactive Dead Zone surrounding Chernobyl’s Reactor No. 4, a defiant community of women scratches out an existence on some of the most toxic land on Earth. They share this hauntingly beautiful but lethal landscape with an assortment of interlopers—scientists, soldiers, and even ‘stalkers’—young thrill-seekers who sneak in to pursue post-apocalyptic video game-inspired fantasies. Why the film’s central characters, Hanna Zavorotyna, Maria Shovkuta, and Valentyna Ivanivna, chose to return after the disaster, defying the authorities and endangering their health, is a remarkable tale about the pull of home, the healing power of shaping one’s destiny and the subjective nature of risk.

An alarmingly disproportionate number of Black women are failed every year by the U.S. maternal health system. Shamony Gibson and Amber Rose Isaac were vibrant, excited mothers-to-be whose deaths due to childbirth complications were preventable. Now, their partners and families are determined to sound a rallying cry around this chilling yet largely ignored crisis.
Directors Paula Eiselt and Tonya Lewis Lee follow Gibson’s and Isaac’s bereaved partners, Omari Maynard and Bruce McIntyre, as they fight for justice and build communities of support, bonding especially with other surviving Black fathers. Their tragic, individual experiences are punctuated with condemning historical context, showing that gynecology has a long-standing history of exploiting and neglecting Black women in America. In the arresting words of mother-to-be Felicia Ellis, “A Black woman having a baby is like a Black man at a traffic stop with the police.” She emphasizes that paying attention is paramount. Aftershock brings an unsettling reality to the forefront while uplifting the families, activists, and birth workers who are striving to bring institutional change and legislative reform. These mothers will not be forgotten.

Timed with the 2020 women's suffrage centennial, American Masters - Unladylike2020: The Changemakers takes a look at women whose courage and tenacity 100 years ago shaped the political life and future of this nation.

This hour-long PBS American Masters animated documentary film will present profiles of five little-known women trailblazers who were active in government, civil rights, and citizenship rights, behaving in ways that placed them outside the mainstream of expected behaviors for 'ladies' at the turn of the 20th century. They include: Martha Hughes Cannon, the country's first female state senator; Jovita Idar, a journalist, and president of one of the first Mexican American women's civil rights organizations; Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress; Mary Church Terrell, a leader in the anti-lynching movement and a founder of the NAACP; and Zitkála-Sá, aka Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, who lobbied for U.S. citizenship, voting rights and sovereignty for American Indians a century ago.

莎拉波娃自传纪录片《The Point》于6月20日登陆iTunes。用莎娃的话来说，这部纪录片将展现其“生活最真实的一面”，是关于她在被禁赛15个月期间的点滴。
由于伤病，莎娃将缺席今年的草地赛季。不过球迷们对这部纪录片也很是期待。去年3月，俄罗斯姑娘召开新闻发布会，承认误服禁药。她随后遭到禁赛处罚，最终禁赛期限为15个月，直到今年4月的斯图加特赛，莎娃解禁复出。

是的，她拥有令其他女运动员望其项背的市场号召力。
是的，她曾深陷最终导致禁赛处罚的争议事件。
可尽管如此，玛丽莎-莎拉波娃真实的一面并不为众人所熟知。
用莎拉波娃自己的话来说，《The Point》前所未有地近距离展现她生命中最关键的一年。影片从莎娃收到禁赛通知那一刻开始，引领我们经历了她证明自身清白的过程，见证了她为重返赛场所付出的努力。在这个过程中，我们看到了她的成长。在为自己抗争的过程中，她得以释怀，从全新角度审视这一切，不再躲在那堵墙后。每一刻，我们都能更深入地挖掘出玛利亚人性化的一面，她从14岁开启职业生涯，学到了很多。我们得以更好地理解她的坚韧、脆弱。最后，用玛利亚自己的话来说，她的球迷以及整个世界会更了解她。
