The Confession Tapes
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt7349…
A critical look into some true crime cases where American law enforcement made up for lack of actual physical evidence by using devious psychological tactics during interrogation in order to extract confessions from naive suspects.

DRONE
http://thoughtmaybe.com/drone/
In the wake of the September 11th attacks, amongst the ravaging of war, the United States has been secretly deploying drones to carry out assassinations throughout the Middle East. The drones are increasingly piloted by the likes of young computer gamers groomed by screen culture and computer games of war, where in many cases, the Pentagon is directly involved in the creation of such games as recruitment tools, actively working to lure young people proficient with technology into the new era of the military-industrial-complex. Drone unravels this complex phenomenon while travelling to places such as Waziristan, where innocent civilians, including children and rescue workers are routinely secretly killed, where families and communities ravaged by the drone strikes search for understanding, accountability and adjustment to the daily horrors. The film also takes a look at the young people sitting behind the screens of the new war machines, half a world away, that actually pull the trigger, asking what kind of world is being built in the rise of seemingly endless and lucrative war driven by technological escalation.

Pretty Slick
http://thoughtmaybe.com/pretty-s…
James Fox 2014 1:10:52
"The Deepwater Horizon oil explosion of 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico is well-known as one of the largest environmental disasters in history. But what is not well-known is that BP, along with approval by the United States government, attempted to sink the oil in the water and hide it from view rather than clean it up, using the controversial chemical dispersant Corexit. After spraying tons of the chemical throughout the ocean, BP then covered up the practice. Estimates are that 75% of the oil, or 150 million gallons, are still unaccounted for. When filmmaker James Fox learned of this, he began a three year investigation, to get to the bottom about the dispersant use and the coverup. Pretty Slick questions whether public safety and environmental health took a backseat to restoring the tourist-based economy, and exposes the symbiosis between big oil and the United States."
