After «Neil Young: Heart of Gold» in 2006 and «Neil Young Trunk Show» in 2009, Jonathan Demme completes his trilogy on the living legend of rock ‘n roll with "Neil Young Journeys". This time around, the third and final collaboration between the two men marks a significant homecoming for Young, whose touring schedule sees him return to Toronto, the city where he was born and bred. The film is a chronicle of a brilliant live performance, featuring such mainstays as "After the Gold Rush" all the way to the haunting sounds of "Ohio". Young’s return to his roots triggers a trip down memory lane for the great singer/songwriter, who gradually slips into the role of narrator as the tour bus approaches its destination. So poor yourselves a glass of something strong as you’re about to find yourselves in close quarters with a man baring his soul the best way he knows how: stories and songs. K.Th.

Uprising: Hip Hop and the LA Riots

1988 saw the release of N.W.A.'s "Fuck tha Police", a seminal track for the hip hop culture, indicating the underlying tension between the African-American community and the Los Angeles Police Department. The final straw came three years later, when a video documenting the savage beating of African-American Rodney King by LAPD officers made its way to the news, fuelling some of the most violent riots in US history.

My Way

They called him the French Elvis Presley and for two decades he was the ultimate pop idol in his country of origin. He was one of the composers behind "Comme d' Ηabitude", the song that was later renamed "My Way" and made Frank Sinatra's voice famous the world over.
