In this classic 1969 documentary, the Man in Black is captured at his peak, the first of many in a looming roller-coaster career. Fresh on the heels of his Folsom Prison album, Cash reveals the dark intensity and raw talent that made him a country music star and cultural icon. Director Robert Elfstrom got closer than any other filmmaker to Cash, who is seen performing with his new bride June Carter Cash, in a rare duet with Bob Dylan, and behind the scenes with friends, family and aspiring young musicians.

On February 25, 1966, an installment of CBS's critically acclaimed documentary series, CBS Reports, focused on the daily lives and dreams of teenagers growing up in Webster Groves, an affluent suburb south of St. Louis, Missouri. 16 in Webster Groves was followed, seven weeks later, by Webster Groves Revisited, an unprecedented though carefully planned defense of the contents and conclusion presented in the original telecast that incorporated the responses of Webster Groves' residents to their earlier portrayal and their rebuttal to the image of their community presented to the nation-at-large.

James Baldwin narrates how his early years in Harlem made him alive to the forces at work in the city and American society to manage the black population. Describing the economic and visual disparity of New York’s famed Fifth Avenue that runs through Manhattan and Harlem, Baldwin reminds us that the “avenue is elsewhere the renowned and elegant Fifth,” but venturing north “we find ourselves on wide, filthy, hostile Fifth Avenue, facing a project which hangs over the avenue like a monument to the folly, and cowardice of good intentions.”
