- The introduction of home meth labs into Tennessee mountain communities at the beginning of the new millennium blindsided authorities as meth labs spread like a deadly virus; by 2004 Tennessee accounted for 75% of all meth labs busted in the southeastern US as authorities removed over 700 Tennessee children from their parents in meth-related incidents. From meth's introduction as a deadly drug phenomenon, to the hard lessons families learn about addiction, to a grass roots effort to innovate legislation to control a meth crisis, CRANK: Darkness on the Edge of Town offers an anatomy of one town's waking nightmare to mirror America's struggle with methamphetamine.
- Tat dreams of being a video vixen. So with money originally earmarked for college, she heads to Atlanta to attend a workshop taught by the infamous Lady Jae - the #1 video girl in the biz. But will Lady Jae's expertise be enough to transform a suburban teen into a hip-hop video queen?
- TUBA U: BASSO PROFUNDO follows an unusual 22-piece musical ensemble into the recording studio, across the U.S., and onto the stage of renowned Carnegie Hall. Featuring the career of tuba maestro Winston Morris, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Gunther Schuller, German tuba makers, and the 100-member Tubas of Mass Destruction, this is the offbeat anatomy of one instrument that speaks to the dedication shared by players of all instruments. The half-hour program assures us that some unusual things are indeed worthy of a lifetime of commitment, dispelling assumptions of size, value and ability and addressing prejudice-even if a very quirky one. Filled with "Who knew?" moments, this quirky documentary TUBA U: BASSO PROFUNDO takes an affectionate look at the history, physicality and personalities of the tuba-an amazing, if unheralded, horn.
