Sammy Davis Jr
Sammy Davis Jr, an often forgotten and misunderstood American icon was a complex man, motivated by deep, primal drives that transcended his race. He unwittingly became the sacrificial lamb who would put his life and career on the line over and over again in order to be treated with dignity, equality and self-respect in America. Yet, in many ways he was a man without a country.
In the end, what makes Sammy an American hero, is the historical impact he had by overcoming racism and bigotry despite the expectations and limitations placed upon him by his times.

The Deerslayer
Based on the book by James Fenimore Cooper

During the American wars of the 1740's, Natty and his friend Harry attempt to save a trapper and two young women, whose floating fort on Lake Glimmerglass is besieged by the ruthless Iroquois.
With exciting action, romantic potentialities and the knowledgeable evocation of frontier life (with its moral and racial conflicts), tension steadily increases to the point at which a cruel outcome seems inevitable.

The film shows how love triumphs over evil and how God grants Muntu a second chance in life.
