- DirectorMaria NicoloParomita VohraCatherine StewartStarsFlavia AgnesMary AsmusTandaswa NditaA Woman's Place (1998) tells the intimate stories of women from three countries - India, South Africa and the USA - who are fighting to balance the scales of power so that "a man's world" is also a woman's place. Advocates for women's rights have frequently turned to LAW in their efforts to accord women equality. But are new laws enough to change old ways? A Woman's Place explores this question through three separate stories that share one common link - patriarchal control and women's efforts to dislodge it. In a new, post-apartheid South Africa, Tandaswa Ndita, a judge, works with traditional village courts so women can inherit property as per the new Constitution. In Duluth Minnesota, Mary Asmus, a prosecutor, works with community groups to prosecute domestic abuse cases, in a way that won't render victims more vulnerable. In India two women, Veena, who had an arranged marriage, and Seema, who married for love, both find themselves at the same juncture, divorce, but with many disadvantages. Their lawyer, Flavia Agnes, uses a unique, feminist approach to law to help them have the life they want. Using this cross-cultural approach, the film reveals that patriarchy may cut across cultures, but each society finds unique and particular ways to tackle it.

- DirectorThom FitzgeraldStarsDaniel MacIvorJoshua PeaceJack Griffin MazeikaThis film looks at the 1950's muscle men's magazines and the representative industry that were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still underground homosexual community. Chief among the purveyors of this literature was Bob Mizer, who maintained a magazine and developed sexually inexplicit men's films for over 40 years. Aided by his mother, the two maintained a stable of not so innocent studs. At the end, the film moves into a court room drama as Mizer is tried for running a male-prostitute ring in the early 60's. Clips of Mizer's actual films starring individuals, such as Jack LaLanne and Joe Dallesandro, are included.
