An eye-opening
documentary with jaw-dropping revelations, "Hot coffee" exposes how corporations
spent millions on a propaganda campaign to distort our views of lawsuits --
forever changing the civil justice system. By examining the impact of tort
reform on the lives of ordinary citizens, the film shows how Americans gave up
their constitutional rights in many ways without knowing it -- for example, by
voting for caps on damages or signing away their rights in contracts. Through
interviews with politicians, judges, lawyers and ordinary citizens, first-time
filmmaker and former public interest lawyer Susan Saladoff delves into the facts
of four cases to tear apart the conventional wisdom about "jackpot justice."

FOREIGN FRENCH RULES
A scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in
a comedy of manners, in which a weekend at a marquis's countryside chateau lays
bare some ugly truths about a group of haute bourgeois acquaintances. The film
was a victim of tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after premiere
audiences rejected it in 1939, and the original negative was destroyed during
World War II. It wasn't reconstructed until 1959. That version, which has
stunned viewers for decades, is presented here.
