History & Documentary

Directed by Justin Hunt and narrated by Val Kilmer, American Meth follows people and communities confronting methamphetamine abuse across parts of the American West. The documentary moves among law enforcement, community responses, and families living with the consequences of addiction.

Rather than treating the drug as an abstract policy topic, the film centers its damage at household and community level. Its firsthand testimony and cross-country scope create a period-specific portrait of the U.S. meth crisis.

Prompted by a question from his young daughter, Chris Rock sets out to understand what “good hair” means inside Black communities. His investigation moves through salons, barbershops, laboratories, a styling competition and the international trade in human hair, connecting everyday beauty routines with money, identity and social expectations.

Jeff Stilson directs while Rock serves as narrator, producer and co-writer, speaking with stylists, customers and public figures including Maya Angelou, Nia Long, Eve, Ice-T and Al Sharpton. The documentary uses humor as an entry point, but its most useful material comes from letting participants explain the personal costs and choices behind chemical relaxers, weaves and changing standards of beauty.

In 1818 Hampstead, independent-minded dressmaker Fanny Brawne meets struggling poet John Keats and initially finds his work as impractical as he finds her fashion-conscious confidence. Their guarded exchanges soften into intimacy after Fanny helps care for Keats’s ill brother, and poetry becomes the private language of their courtship.

Their bond deepens despite money, class expectations and the resistance of Keats’s friend Charles Brown, but the poet’s worsening health places time against them. Jane Campion tells the story largely through Fanny’s experience, pairing Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw with Greig Fraser’s tactile images of fabric, weather and changing seasons.

The Secret assembles interviews with authors, speakers and self-help figures around the “law of attraction,” the idea that focused thoughts and emotions can influence the events a person experiences. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the documentary combines testimony, dramatized examples and historical references to explain visualization, gratitude and goal-setting.

Directed by Drew Heriot and developed by producer-writer Rhonda Byrne, the feature presents those ideas as a route to health, relationships, prosperity and fulfillment. Its claims reflect the participants’ motivational philosophy rather than a scientific consensus, so the film is best understood as influential self-help media—not a substitute for medical, financial or mental-health advice.

Before she becomes queen, Princess Victoria is pressured by relatives and advisers who hope to control the succession. Refusing a proposed regency, she reaches the throne young and must learn how to use authority while surrounded by competing interests.

Her relationship with Prince Albert begins as a political arrangement but develops into a partnership that reshapes her private life and reign. The drama follows their courtship, early marriage and Victoria’s difficult transition from protected heir to sovereign.

Countdown to Zero examines why nuclear danger did not disappear after the Cold War. It traces the atomic bomb’s history while considering terrorism, proliferation, theft of fissile material, accidents and miscalculation as separate routes to catastrophe.

Director Lucy Walker combines archival material with testimony from former heads of government, diplomats and security specialists. The documentary uses those perspectives to argue that reducing nuclear arsenals and improving safeguards are practical global-security questions, not only abstract policy goals.

Oceans movie has come a long way from the global idea of the Jacques Perrin to the big screens around the world. Perrin commented the idea of the project: "We did not write any script, we are going to ask the Ocean. It tells us, it showed us. Thus was born our picture with many conflicts and drama. So we turned the ballet elements, or even opera elements". Initially, this position may seem weak and unpromising. But after watching the Oceans movie you seem weak and unsound to yourself, so shocking this ballet and the opera of the most powerful element on our planet is.
