In 1970, the Miss World competition took place in London, hosted by US comedy legend, Bob Hope (Greg Kinnear). At the time, Miss World was the most-watched TV show on the planet with over 100 million viewers. Claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women, the newly formed Women's Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. Not only that, when the show resumed, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada, the first black woman to be crowned Miss World. In a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head. - Director:

"Hiroshima" (1953) is a powerful evocation of the devastation wrought by the world's first deployment of the atomic bomb and its aftermath, based on the written eye-witness accounts of its child survivors compiled by Dr. Arata Osada for the 1951 book 'Children of the A-Bomb: Testament of the Boys and Girls of Hiroshima'. Adapted for the screen by independent director Hideo Sekigawa (Listen to the Voices of the Sea, Tokyo Untouchable) and screenwriter Yasutaro Yagi (Theatre of Life, Rice), Hiroshima combines a harrowing documentary realism with moving human drama, in a tale of the suffering, endurance, and survival of a group of teachers, their students, and their families. It boasts a rousing score composed by Akira Ifukube (Godzilla) and an all-star cast including Yumeji Tsukioka (Late Spring, The Eternal Breasts), Isuzu Yamada (Throne of Blood, Yojimbo), and Eiji Okada (Hiroshima Mon Amour, Woman in the Dunes), appearing alongside an estimated 90,000 residents from the city as extras, including many survivors from that fateful day on 6th August 1945. "Hiroshima" was produced outside of the studio system by the Japan Teachers' Union after the mixed critical reception to the first dramatic feature to deal directly with the atomic bombing, 'Children of Hiroshima' (1952), directed by Kaneto Shindo the previous year. Although sequences from the film were used in Alain Resnais' classic of French New Wave cinema, 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' (1959), it has been effectively out of circulation since its original release in 1953 due to the force and political sensitivity of its message. - Director:

Female Prisoner No. 701: Scorpion (1972)Joshuu 701-gô: Sasori
Feature is "Jailhouse Rock" for the stay-at-home generation: an amphetamine-fueled descent into the humid cells of a women's lock-up.

Take Meiko Kaji for instance - she's serving time as a result of circumstances that went a little, well...beyond her control. But whether she's tied down or chained up, Kaji (a.k.a. Nami "Matsu the Scorpion" Matsushima) knows how to channel her sense of vengeance into that delta-sized libidinal urge known by any prison-vixen of the sensational 70s - and thereby makes the most of her incarceration. - Director:
