Known For
The story of the five Russian hockey stars who helped the Detroit Red Wings win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships and created one of the most memorable chapters in Motor City sports history.
The Russian Five
Sex, drugs, money, murder - not to mention love, heartache, humiliation, guilt, revenge, redemption - are central themes in this wicked dark comedy. Tracking six not-quite-so-young oilmen and dancers as they pursue life with reckless abandon in boomtown Houston during the Eighties, the story careens from casual pick-ups to painful break-ups, from betrayal to reunion with hardly a pause for breath.
God Thinks You're a Loser
In 1986 Michael Morton’s wife Christine is brutally murdered in front of their only child, and Michael is convicted of the crime. Locked away in Texas prisons for a quarter century, he has years to ponder questions of justice and innocence, truth and fate. Though he is virtually invisible to society, a team of dedicated attorneys spends years fighting for the right to test DNA evidence found at the murder scene. Their discoveries ultimately reveal that the price of a wrongful conviction goes well beyond one man’s loss of freedom.
