This is one of the best Nova episodes ever! Great examination of a Black scientist in the early 20th Century. Blended with an account of Dr. Julian's struggles to pursue his career in Chemistry are wonderfully clear explanations of the chemistry principles involved in his research. The chemistry faculty and the descendants of Dr. Julian provide very helpful context for the important events in his life. Do watch this if you get a chance!

Okay, it's a bit broad, but this movie is insanely funny. Maybe not great art, but a wonderful 110 minutes of fun.

This charming story describes the encounter between a young advertising executive (Sebastián Dahm) and a mysterious, and ghostly, blond woman (Carolina Fadic) on Avenida Kennedy in Santiago, Chile. She is the "rubia" (blond) of Kennedy. The film takes a Chilean urban legend from the 1970's as its starting point. In the legend, a beautiful woman in a white dress flags down drivers on Avenida Kennedy at night and asks for a ride. She gets in the back seat of the car, and when the driver begins to accelerate, the woman asks the driver to not drive so fast, then disappears from the back seat. The film adds a tale of early mythical figures in the forests of Chile as background, then describes the intersection of these mythical figures with modern times. The production values of the film are good but not excellent. Nevertheless,this is a wonderfully enjoyable film.
