A parodic music video that re-envisions the Horatio Alger myth of the American Dream via 1950s-style cultural cliches, advertising and Reagan-era media propaganda. Smith's 'regular guy' Mike embodies a series of all-American male stereotypes, from the classroom to political candidacy, assuming the roles of college prep, cowboy, train engineer, and real estate developer. Set to an ironic jingle recalling of an 'Up with People' anthem, this lampoon of Manifest Destiny concludes with Mike riding, like an ironic Marlboro Man, into the sunset.

The Tour de Corse 1984 review brings you the full story of round five of the 1984 world championship, as the island of Corsica hosted the French rally. Amazingly, this event was the debut for two cars which would become sporting icons; the fire-spitting Group B Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 (T16) and the legendary Audi sport Quattro. The Tour de Corse is an all-asphalt rally, and the stages include narrow mountain roads with huge drops just inches away – it is always a true challenge of skill and bravery, and the 1984 running was no exception. Alongside the new cars from Peugeot and Audi, the field included the dominant Lancias and Renault 5 Turbos. The all-star driving cast includes Markku alen, Mikki Biasion, Stig Blomqvist, Walter Rohrl, Ari Vatanen. It proved an incredible debut for both Peugeot and Audi, and an unpredictable battle throughout – including the unlikely alliance between the French and Italians against the rising threat of the Germans.

Urban life is portrayed as a series of rituals: coming of age in an environment shaped by generations, obscured by the constant barrage of everyday life. The film randomly touches upon key events familiar to everyone in North America, a melting pot of human experiences. As in any city there is an aspect of alienation, here displayed through the eyes of a young woman caught in the web of her own daily existence.

Reveals how Australia's first people are still suffering from social oppression, with many living on reservations where alcoholism is rampant and unemployment the major occupation. Aboriginal land rights are a central theme: Miller clearly demonstrates the contrast between the attitudes of European Australians, who see the land only as a resource to be mined, farmed, grazed and built upon, and Aboriginal Australians, who regard the land as sacred. Archival footage compares the original lifestyle of Aboriginal Australians to their current pitiful condition, and shows how European settlers attempted to "civilise" mixed blood children by taking them away from their parents and enrolling them in boarding schools.
