The World of Charlie Company

The World of Charlie Company is an Emmy-award winning documentary produced by CBS News in 1970 that shows what the effects of fighting in the jungles of Southeast Asia were like for a collection of U.S. soldiers. "It showed GI's close to mutiny, balking at orders that seemed to them unreasonable. This was something never seen on television before". The documentary was made by John Laurence, reporter for CBS from 1965.

Cocksucker Blues

Cocksucker Blues is an unreleased documentary film directed by the noted still photographer Robert Frank chronicling The Rolling Stones' North American tour in 1972 in support of their album Exile on Main St.. The film was shot cinéma vérité, with several cameras available for anyone in the entourage to pick up and start shooting. This allowed the film's audience to witness backstage parties, drug use (Mick Jagger is seen snorting cocaine backstage), roadie and groupie antics, and the Stones with their defenses down. One scene includes a groupie in a hotel room injecting heroin. The film is under a court order which forbids it from being shown unless the director Robert Frank is physically present. This ruling stems from the conflict that arose when the band, who had commissioned the film, decided that its content was embarrassing and potentially incriminating, and did not want it shown.

America in Pictures: The Story of Life Magazine

In this film, leading UK fashion photographer Rankin celebrates the work of Life's legendary photographers including Alfred Eisenstaedt and Margaret Bourke-White, who went to outrageous lengths to get the best picture - moving armies, naval fleets and even the population of entire towns. He travels across the USA to meet photographers Bill Eppridge, John Shearer, John Loengard, Burk Uzzle and Harry Benson who, between them, have shot the big moments in American history - from the assassination of Robert F Kennedy, the Civil Rights struggle and Vietnam to behind the scenes at the Playboy mansion and the greatest names in Hollywood.

Watch ‘The Karate Kid’ Comprised Completely Out Of Rehearsal Footage

In 1983, director John G. Avildsen was getting ready to shoot The Karate Kid with stars Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita and others. As part of the rehearsal process, Avildsen decided to film all of the rehearsals and edited it together into a (very) rough version of the movie. It was used as a tool for the actors to give them a sense of what the movie would be like, how their characters would change, all of that important stuff. Presumably, it was never meant to see the light of day outside of the cast and crew.

Akira? A caricature, more like

Has there ever been such a preposterous proposition as Hollywood's forthcoming live action remake of Akira, the seminal 1988 Japanese anime by writer-director Katsuhiro Otomo, which was greenlit earlyer this week. It's the kind of ridiculously unlikely project one might expect to see in the late, lamented HBO comedy Entourage, perhaps featuring blue-eyed Hollywood A-lister Vincent Chase in the lead. Except nobody's laughing about the real-life remake, because most of the proposed casting choices have been just as outlandish.

The Whistleblower: The movie the U.N. would prefer you didn’t see

The Samuel Goldwyn Films movie, which is due out in theaters in Los Angeles and New York on Aug. 5, stars British actress Rachel Weisz as a U.N. policewoman who stumbles into the sordid world of Balkan sex trafficking and finds her fellow U.N. peacekeepers implicated in the trade. It constitutes perhaps the darkest cinematic portrayal of a U.N. operation ever on the big screen, finding particular fault with top U.N. brass, the U.S. State Department, and a major U.S. contractor that supplies American policemen for U.N. missions. The actual abuses in Bosnia were so shocking that the film's director, Larysa Kondracki, told Turtle Bay that she had to tone it down to make it believable and to ensure that viewers didn't "tune it out."

Water makes Money (Documentary)

"...überall, wo finanziell klamme Kommunen nach Entlastung suchen, klopfen die weltgrößten Wasserkonzerne Veolia und Suez an die Tür. Innerhalb der letzten 10 Jahre hat allein Veolia es geschafft,  nach eigenen Angaben in 450 deutschen Städten die Wasserversorgung zu übernehmen oder an ihr beteiligt zu werden. Mittlerweile ist der französische Konzern incl. seiner Beteiligungen im Trink- und Abwasserbereich etwa gleichauf mit Gelsenwasser der größte Versorger in Deutschland. Ähnliche Expansionserfolge sind in Polen, den Baltischen Republiken, Lettland, Estland, Litauen, der Tschechische Republik, der Slowakei, Rumänien, Italien, Spanien, den USA und nun auch in China zu verzeichnen, wo Veolia laufend die Unterschrift neuer Verträge verkündet. Wenn in Kalifornien Wasserknappheit droht, empfängt Schwarzenegger Veolias Vorstandsvorsitzender Henri Proglio. Derselbe ist auch  für Chinas Präsident die erste Adresse, wenn das aufstrebende Land ein 100 Mrd.$ Programm zur Erneuerung der Abwasserversorgung auflegt. Bereits in mindestens 69 Ländern auf allen fünf Kontinenten sind Veolia und Suez präsent - ist das der unaufhaltsame Aufstieg zweier Wassergiganten zur weltweiten Hegemonialmacht einer privatisierten Wasserversorgung?"

The young boys also got into a fair amount of trouble. “I remember crossing over the railroad tracks trying to find my way back to the hotel, drunk, and I just laid down on the railroad tracks,” Feldman says. “There I was, Teddy Duchamp in full effect, dodging the train in my own way. That moment defined me becoming that character and that character becoming one with my reality.”

ESPN: The Fab Five (Documentary)

"In their heyday, the Fab Five were widely portrayed as the root of all evil in college sports. They wore baggy shorts and black socks. They blasted hip-hop music in the locker room. They talked trash. A lot. Those types of uniforms and behavior might be commonplace today, but 20 years ago it was revolutionary, polarizing and heavily influential to a generation of young athletes. Although the Fab Five never got into serious trouble off the court, the players symbolized to many people a clear shift in the sports world and youth culture. Fans of all races and demographics spent millions of dollars on Michigan jerseys, shorts and the like, trying to capture a tiny slice of the group's mystique. By the end of their second year together, the Fab Five were routinely battered in the national media for the way they carried themselves. Articles and television reports painted them as brash villains or worse -- as thugs. Now, two decades later, Rose, Jackson, King and Howard have come together in ESPN's "Fab Five" documentary to tell the inside story of the freshman class that was feted as rock stars. Notably absent is Webber, the No. 1 recruit from the Class of '91, who isn't yet willing to discuss two sticky subjects: the payment scandal, which led to legal problems for Webber and the removal of the Fab Five's banners from Crisler Arena, and the infamous timeout gaffe at the end of the 1993 national championship game."

Sean Sheffey appears and lets us know that Josh has always been a well respected skater, and Mike Blabac recalls when Josh helped him learn how to use his camera. Ted Lee provided the archival footage of a young Kalis, and if there had been more time we would have loved to show more of Ted’s incredible old footage that includes a New Deal demo with Ed Templeton and Mike Vallely. Enjoy.
