Billy the Kid (Graded)

"I'm not black, I'm not white, not foreign, just different in the mind. Different brains, that's all," explains 15-year-old Billy in Jennifer Venditti's provocative coming of age film. Billy's intuitive commentary & intimate verite footage reveal a unique attitude as he responds to a painful childhood, first time love & his experience as an outsider in small town Maine. By turns humorous & disturbing, this portrait challenges the viewer to understand a triumphant teen on his own terms.

The Informant! (Movie Watch)

One night in early November, 1992, a high-ranking ADM executive named Mark Whitacre did something extraordinary when he confessed to an FBI agent that ADM executives-including Whitacre himself-had routinely met with competitors to fix the price of lysine, a food additive. It was initially Whitacre's wife who forced Whitacre to become a whistleblower by threatening to go to the FBI herself if he would not have informed the authorities of ADMs illegal price-fixing activities. That meeting marked the first time that a participant in a price fixing cartel had ever voluntarily tipped off law-enforcement officials about a scheme & that's only half the story.
