55 min Watch NowDocumentary
Early Errol Morris documentary intersplices random chatter he captured on film of the genuinely eccentric residents of Vernon, Florida. A few examples? The preacher giving a sermon on the definition of the word "Therefore," and the obsessive turkey hunter who speaks reverentially of the "gobblers" he likes to track down and kill.

A visually stunning narrative documentary, NAKED GARDENS immerses audiences in the complex, unseen world of a family nudist resort in the Florida Everglades.

As aging owner Morley and his residents prepare for the largest gathering of nudists in the US, the Mid-Winter Naturist Festival, they are faced with challenges both as a community and as individuals.Rocky IV: The American Punch
IMDB 6.4 | Oct , 2014
Rocky IV is dually symbolic - it embodies both the victory of the American boxer over the Soviet one and the victory of neo-liberalism over a dwindling socialism. Today, Rocky is held up as a model by some and is a subject of derision for others. An emblem of the 1980s, its culture and its heroes, the film will be the subject of an entertaining analysis of popular culture.Witness of Truth: The Railway Murders
IMDB 0 | Dec , 2001
Dramatised documentary which describes the police investigation that led to the conviction of David Mulcahy for the notorious Railway Murders in the 1980s of three young women in the London area and for the rapes of many others. This investigation was based largely on the testimony of John Duffy to a psychologist in prison where he was serving life after being convicted of the same offences ten years earlier, having denied at the time of his trial that he had had an accomplice (Mulcahy). -AnonymousMichael Holman Presents The New York City Breakers Volume 1

IMDB 8 | Apr , 2022
“These animals are like ghosts,” says Carlton Ward Jr.—National Geographic explorer, photographer, and 8th generation Floridian—at the beginning of this captivating film that endeavors to keep the Florida Panther from becoming just that: a ghost. As the last big cat surviving in the eastern United States and the state animal of Florida, the panther is an icon of Florida’s ever-diminishing wild places, as revealed in the film’s sumptuous images. Leading a team that includes cowboys, wildlife biologists, photographers/videographers, and a lot of folks who simply care about the future of Florida’s fragile ecology, Ward treks repeatedly into the Everglades and expanses of South Florida to seek, record, and save these ghosts.Holstein
