Very British Gangster, A (Widescreen) : For the first time, a gang of contemporary criminals opens their lives to reveal a brutal world dominated by violence-driven crime and the poor underclass that relies upon them, rather than the police, for justice. Award-winning BBC journalist Donal MacIntyre follows the trials and tribulations of Dominic Noonan over three years, as he lurches from criminal trial to criminal trial. Rarely does a film gain such deep access: showing us close-up a society embroiled in kidnapping, torture, narcotics, and murder. But behind the macho bravado lies a poignant view of a community struggling with poverty, violence, and drugs. "A Very British Gangster" is an all access pass to the real life Tony Soprano, an astonishing view into the world of organized crime. Deleted Scenes.
Nuremberg: The Nazis Facing Their Crimes (Full Frame) : Nuremberg, November 20, 1945 - The trials of Nazi war criminals begins in a city still in ruins, barely six months after the Germans' surrender. The United States, France, Great Britain and the USSR unite to deliver exemplary justice in response to crimes against peace and, for the first time in history, to "crimes against humanity." On the accused bench sit 21 of the highest Nazi dignitaries, including Hermann Goring, Rudolph Hess, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Wilhelm Keitel. They all plead not guilty, although the "atrocities" committed are tremendous. As evidence, films of the liberation of the concentration camps would be screened, an unprecedented move, during the proceedings. Evidence is presented, confrontations arise, testimonies of executioners and victims are heard. After 10 months of hearings, the verdict is rendered: 12 defendants sentenced to death penalties, including one in absentia, seven sentenced to prison and three acquitted. Thus ends the trial that paved the way for the creation of international tribunals. "That Justice Be Done" Featurette; "Nazi Concentration Camps" F...
