Plastics, to je trojica roztlieskavačiek na vrchole potravinového reťazca na obyčajnej americkej strednej škole. Na ňu nastúpi nová nesmelá študentka Cady, ktorá je pre všetkých úplný zjav. Doteraz totiž žila s rodičmi v africkej prírodnej rezervácii bez akéhokoľvek kontaktu s rovesníkmi. Takže je pre ňu všetko nové; stretáva namakancov, flákačov, ázijských bifľošov, obľúbencov, nepriateľov, dievčatá, ktoré sa prejedajú, dievčatá, ktoré nejedia, vypatlancov, sexuálne aktívnych blbcov. A čo je najdôležitejšie, spoznáva Plastics, ktoré vládnu škole. Tie sa rozhodnú, že si túto nevinnú ovečku vezmú pod krídla a skrotia ju. Dominantná Regina, prezývaná Včelia kráľovná, verí, že ju nikto nemôže zosadiť z trónu. Mýli sa. Cady sa postupne stáva jednou z Plastics, nafúkanou, bezcitnou mrchou, štýlotvornou hviezdou školy, po ktorej túži každý chlapec, dokonca aj Reginin bývalý priateľ Aaron.
Pred viac než dvadsiatimi rokmi došlo k prvému kontaktu mimozemskej civilizácie s ľudstvom. Ľudia očakávali desivú bitku alebo významný technologický pokrok. Nedošlo ani k jednému. Mimozemšťania boli utečencami z vlastnej planéty. Stvorenia boli ubytované v núdzových domovoch v juhoafrickom Districte 9, zatiaľ, čo sa štáty sveta dohadovali, čo a ako ďalej. Teraz všetkým dochádza trpezlivosť.

Ellis, a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit, battling over the desegregation of schools in Durham, North Carolina during the racially-charged summer of 1971. The incredible events that unfolded would change Durham and the lives of Atwater and Ellis forever.

Constructed from a wealth of archival footage, the documentary follows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1955 to 1968, in his rise from regional activist to world-renowned leader of the Civil Rights movement.

A man that is a stranger, is an incredibly easy man to hate. However, walking in a stranger’s shoes, even for a short while, can transform a perceived adversary into an ally. Power is found in coming to know our neighbor’s hearts. For in the darkness of ignorance, enemies are made and wars are waged, but in the light of understanding, family extends beyond blood lines and legacies of hatred crumble.
On Easter Sunday, 1939, contralto Marian Anderson stepped up to a microphone in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Inscribed on the walls of the monument behind her were the words “all men are created equal.” Barred from performing in Constitution Hall because of her race, Anderson would sing for the American people in the open air. Hailed as a voice that “comes around once in a hundred years” by maestros in Europe and widely celebrated by both white and black audiences at home, her fame hadn’t been enough to spare her from the indignities and outright violence of racism and segregation.

Why hate society? Why just think that crime and riots are the only way into the future? Actor Ulf Stenberg and dancer Emil Rosén from "Teater Fryshuset" shapes young lives in this strong and intense performance. We follow three characters with very little faith in the future, who are tormented by poverty and segregation. It is a story of powerlessness and alienation, of hopelessness and distrust of police, government and society. The play is created partly to give young people an increased understanding of the consequences of making the wrong choice, and partly to increase the understanding of what young people's exclusion actually leads to. The play is based on real fate and interviews with guys and girls about their lives.
A problem area burdened by burning cars, stone throwing and crime. This is how the district of Hovsjö in Södertälje, Sweden, is often described. An image that is further reinforced when one day the school burns down, just when the autumn term is about to begin. But in Hovsjö there is also something completely different...
