Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville co-direct this documentary about
the televised American debates between Gore Vidal and William F.
Buckley Jr. Beginning during the 1968 Democratic National
Convention in Chicago, the liberal and conservative writers and
commentators clashed over issues including the city's police, the
convention's protestors and the freedom-of-speech-right of
Americans. As the pair commented on the issues of the day, over the
course of their debates, their discourse became increasingly
explosive and hostile and the substance of their arguments lost.

Thought-provoking political documentary by Canadian filmmakers
Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar. In the mid-19th century, American
corporations began to be legally recognised as individuals, a move
that has given them unprecedented rights. In collaboration with
novelist Joel Bakan, the filmmakers pose the question: if a
corporation was a person, what sort of person would it be? Applying
psychiatric principles and social research, they come to the
conclusion that this 'person' would be a power-hungry, egocentric
and highly destructive psychopath. The film won Best Documentary
World Cinema Audience Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
