Four Died Trying: Prologue
The opening installment of an unprecedented multi-part documentary series, filmed primarily from the vantage point of their children, close associates, and witnesses to their assassinations. Four Died Trying considers the "turning” President John Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy were making in the last year or so of their lives. Were they embracing ever-broader conceptions of the struggle for peace, social change and economic justice, and what forces may have stirred in opposition? What lessons do their lives and deaths hold for us today, as the world once again trembles on the cliff of an uncertain future?
Cape Spin
Cape Spin! An American Power Struggle tells the surreal, fascinating, and tragicomic story of the battle over America’s most controversial clean energy project. Cape Wind was to be America’s first offshore windfarm. But formidable alliances formed on both sides: Kennedys, Kochs, and everyday folks do battle with the developers and green groups over the future of American power and the aesthetic of America’s most privileged enclave.
The American Ruling Class
In this first of its kind "dramatic-documentary-musical", Lewis Lapham takes two young Ivy-League graduates on a tour of the corridors of power. The novice careerists must decide: should they seek to rule the world, or to save it? The paths they take gradually clue them, and the audience, into the reality posed by the question.
