The Manson Murders
The 1960s were a period when long held values and norms of behaviour seemed to break down, particularly among the young. Hippies advocated nonviolence and love, a popular phrase being "Make love, not war," for which they were sometimes called "flower children." They promoted openness and tolerance as alternatives to the restrictions and regimentation they saw in middle-class society. The movement seemed to be taking the minds of the new generation by storm... That was until one group of hippies, The Manson Family, led by Charles Manson, committed a set of crimes that terrified the world and brought the flower power movement to a halt. Charles Milles Manson was an American criminal and musician who led the Manson Family, a cult based in California. Some of the members committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969, including the brutal murder of 8 month pregnant, actress and model Sharon Tate, wife of Roman Polanski.

Texada
“Some days go very fast, and some weeks go very slow,” says a worker in the quarries of the Canadian island of Texada.

And we dig it up, crush it, and use it to make things like toothpaste.
Consolidated Group
Documentary films have the amazing ability to present reality, even when the authors wanted to create propaganda. This was the case with “Triumph of the Will of Leni Riefenstahl”, and with less talented documentarians who filmed the Stalinist trials and the “happy life” of the Gulag. We don’t think that this film has exaggerated claims... But this film is certainly a valuable video evidence of the tragedy that came with the war in Ukraine. Below we publish the author's summary of the film:
Dew Point
He was the most popular guy in town: a bully and the life of the party. He was the “elder” in their small town and had serious criminal connections. He changed girls like gloves, and didn’t think about anything seriously. And then he met her. A high school student, an excellent student and the beloved daughter of the city police chief. It would seem they could never be together - her parents locked her at home when they accidentally saw her in the same car with him. But love still happened, no matter what. And then he tried heroin. The first year she fought, the second year she prayed, and then she simply disappeared. She moved far away, cutting off all ties. Ten years later, they suddenly got in touch again.
