DESERT ONE re-examines the story of Americans taken hostage by Iranian revolutionaries in 1979. Kopple draws upon never-before-heard audiotapes from the White House, as well as new interviews with hostages, rescuers, Iranians and President Carter, whose 1980 election loss to Ronald Reagan was influenced by this decisive chapter of history.

Directed by Julie Cohen and Betsy West, the film features the quiet warrior who carved her own path to the nation's highest court. While developing an unmatched legal legacy, she also surprisingly became a pop culture icon.
BUOYANCY tells the story of a Cambodian teenager sold into forced labor on a Thai fishing boat is a passionate testimony against social injustice and a moving coming-of-age tale about a boy whose humanity is put to the test. The film, directed by Rodd Rathjen, is Australia's Official Oscar Submission and the winner of the Ecumenical Jury Prize, Berlinale Panorama.
