A Time to Kill 1996
Når den 10 år gamle fargede jenta Tonya blir voldtatt av to hvite rasister, er det mye som skal til for at de blir straffet. Slik fungerer det i Mississippi - hvor rasehatet slett ikke er dødt, men bare er begravet så vidt under overflaten. Derimot vekker det sterke reaksjoner når faren til den vesle jenta, Carl Lee Hailey, tar loven i egne hender og skyter de to gjerningsmennene! Den hvite advokaten Jack Brigance tar på seg oppgaven å forsvare Carl. Ganske snart har Jack også rekruttert den unge assistenten Ellen Roark. Mens rettsaken går av stabelen stiger temperaturen mot bristepunktet i byen. Gamle skikker børstes støv av, og selveste Ku Klux Klan marsjerer ganske snart i gatene!

Huckleberry Finn and His Friends 1980
Huckleberry Finn and His Friends was a 1979 television series documenting the exploits of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, based on the novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by American writer Mark Twain. The series was made up of 26 episodes and was a Canadian/German coproduction. Huckleberry Finn is played by Ian Tracey who is also the narrator. Tom Sawyer is played by Sammy Snyders. Directed by Jack B. Hively and Ken Jubenvill, this mini-series was broadcast in many countries such as Germany, UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Venezuela and many other Latin American nations. The series was re-shown many times during the 1980s to early 1990s and has grown somewhat of a cult following. Even though Mark Twain originally wrote the books The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as separate units, this mini-series conjures up both literary works as only one story. Therefore, it places greater importance on Huckleberry's character without putting aside Tom Sawyer's. In 2007, the complete series was released as a 4 DVD box set by Fabulous Films in the UK. It contains many extras including a 12 page color booklet and a 30 minute 'making of' documentary featuring interviews with many stars of the series including Sammy Snyders, Ian Tracey, and Blu Mankuma.
