Director Martin Scorsese speaks candidly and passionately about one of his formative filmmaking influences: the late Elia Kazan.

But most of all, they make a powerful case for Kazan as a profoundly personal artist working in a famously impersonal industry. close

Pablo Escobar was the richest, most powerful drug kingpin in the world, ruling the Medellin Cartel with an iron fist. Andres Escobar was the biggest soccer star in Colombia. The two were not related, but their fates were inextricably-and fatally-intertwined. Pablo's drug money had turned Andres' national team into South American champions, favored to win the 1994 World Cup in Los Angeles. It was there, in a game against the U.S., that Andres committed one of the most shocking mistakes in soccer history, scoring an "own goal" that eliminated his team from the competition and ultimately cost him his life. The Two Escobars is a riveting examination of the intersection of sports, crime, and politics. close

Documentary biographical film from the series "Secrets of the Century" dedicated to the 90th anniversary of aviation colonel general Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub. Ivana Kozhedub – three times Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-as of the Great Patriotic War. At the age of 23, he becomes one of the most effective fighter pilots, sometimes shooting down 2-3 German planes a day. What is the secret of this young guy, the son of the poorest peasants of the Ukrainian village Obrahievka, who, along with Pokryshkin and Zhukov, became one of the 3 three times Heroes of the USSR? On his account by the end of the war was already 62 enemy aircraft — so many could not boast of no one else not only in Soviet aviation, but in the entire aviation of the allies. Ivan Kozhedub proved his superiority over American fighter pilots once again in the 50s, during the Korean War. Officially, it is still accepted that Ivan Nikitovich was sent there as commander of the 324th Fighter Aviation Division (64 corps), but he did not make combat sorties. However, having studied the testimony of his relatives and fellow soldiers who take part in the film, requesting documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense, our film crew makes a sensational conclusion - Ivan Kozhedub, contrary to Moscow's orders, not only personally fought in Korea with yesterday's American allies, but was once shot down in the sky over Korea. Many materials of the film - diaries and personal letters of Ivan Kozhedub from the family archives, a personal file, a credit card, award sheets and unique photo documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, confirming Kozhedub's participation in the Korean War, will be shown to the viewer for the first time. close

Before the Premier League and multi-million pound salaries, in England 'football' was a dirty word. The game was in disgrace, the fans, hooligans, the nation, it seemed, were all played out. Then there was Italia '90 - The World Cup - a shot at redemption. But this was no ordinary World Cup and no ordinary time.

Yet over six short weeks, through their heroic exploits they united a nation, coming within a heart beat of reaching the World Cup Final. Narrated by Gary Oldman, featuring match action - from Platt's last-gasp winner against Belgium to the silky skills of Gazza and the cool finishing of Lineker - and previously unseen footage, this is the definitive story of England's greatest footballing adventure on foreign soil... so far. close
