- A tangled story of three men's lives on the gritty streets of Chicago: Manning, a dirty, disillusioned cop; Julian, king of drugs, thugs and prostitution; and Frank, a ruthless politician who destroys everything in the way of his ambition.
- Kevin, a black social worker starts a gay mens support group. As a group they discuss such issues as HIV testing, relationships, AIDS, and sexual risk taking among black gay men.
- A mother must choose between love and devotion to her sons and unborn child or staying with her sexy, maniacal husband and his patriarchal sister, who respectively fulfill her physical and emotional needs.
- A photographer and script supervisor in the film industry, Kim began to experience increasing difficulty with her memory, her emotional stability, her balance and coordination, all of which adversely affected her ability to work and maintain personal relationships. After visits with numerous neurologists and several months of medical testing, Kim had her diagnosis - Huntington's disease - an incurable degenerative neurological disorder that is both mentally and physically devastating. As Kim slowly came to terms with this new reality, she determined to learn as much as possible about her disease and its effects, and to produce a film about that journey. Initially Kim resolved to be only the investigator in the film, but was persuaded that the most powerful way to communicate was through sharing her personal experience. Through the course of making this documentary film, Kim explores her family history, interviewing family members and asking questions about the father she lost to suicide a decade earlier. She speaks with doctors, researchers, fellow Huntington's sufferers and also family members and caregivers. She bravely allows us a glimpse into her everyday life, in some of her most vulnerable and emotional moments.
- This Chicago-made video centers on a support group for gay men of color; the six members discuss barebacking, fidelity, bisexuality, etc. This is the second installment in a series, funded in part by the Chicago Department of Health, intended to promote HIV awareness. The educational agenda results in some stiff moments ("But why should I get an HIV test?" "Well, let me tell you four good reasons..."), but the talented actors do a good job of selling the material and codirectors Sharon Zurek and Lora Branch strike a nice balance between didacticism and drama. By the cliff-hanger ending I cared enough to want to know what happened next. 60 min.
