Taken for a Ride begins with interviews on the inefficiencies and congestion on Los Angeles' highways. Next, the film displays a variety of archival footage on streetcar systems around the United States, demonstrating that streetcars were a widespread and efficient means of transportation. The film continues into a description of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy, starting with a history of National City Lines and Pacific City Lines and General Motors' investment in both companies. The film builds the argument that streetcar systems purchased by these companies were deliberately sabotaged through service reductions and fare increases, then replaced with profitable, less convenient, bus systems. Next, the film makes a connection between this conspiracy and the construction of the Interstate Highway System and the suburbanization of America in the face of the Highway revolts in the 1960s and 1970s. The film ends with footage of the reduction of Philadelphia's trolleybus system at the time of filming.

À partir d'images d'archives remastérisées, le film raconte le parcours d'Ayrton Senna, du karting à la Formule 1. Les intervenants ne sont qu'entendus en voix off, laissant toute la place à l'image au pilote brésilien. En F1, on suit les débuts du pilote au volant de la Toleman en 1984, jusqu'à son accident mortel du mois de mai 1994 et aux hommages nationaux qui lui seront rendus au Brésil par ses pairs et le pays tout entier.

"I Am Dale Earnhardt" creuse profondément au-delà de la légende pour révéler la figure complexe au cœur de "The Intimidator". Il était une idole pour des millions, mais un méchant pour d'autres ; le héros d'un travailleur, mais aussi un chouchou de Madison Avenue ; un mari, un père et un ami, mais aussi un homme solitaire que peu connaissaient vraiment. Sa mort tragique dans le dernier tour du Daytona 500 2001 a envoyé des ondes de choc à travers le pays et l'a immortalisé comme l'une des plus grandes stars que NASCAR ait jamais connues.

Surviving the Tsunami brings together social, environmental, and personal perspectives of the national catastrophe of the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. In the documentary, Kyoko Miyake travels back to her hometown in Namie, Fukushima, to revisit her old life and assess the trauma still lingering from the disaster. She revisits Namie, her mother's hometown and meets the people who depended on the success of the nuclear plant for their livelihood. The film also follows Bunsei Watanabe and Kyoko Miyake's Aunt Kuniko, two people who hope for the rejuvenation of Namie, despite the disaster that has occurred. Despite having lost family, friends, and jobs due to the meltdown and subsequent fear of the contamination zone, these two individuals are determined to rebuild their towns and neighborhoods and bring back the sense of community they once had. The film follows the residents of Namie, with emphasis on the experiences of Aunt Kuniko, as they come to terms with the reality of living in or near the "radiation zone" left in the wake the plant's nuclear meltdown. Surviving the Tsunami offers a different perspective on Japanese culture, national identity, human adaption, and global nuclear energy and proliferation.

Le cinéaste Roman Polanski, passionné de sport automobile, s'est lié d'amitié avec le pilote automobile écossais Jackie Stewart, champion du monde de Formule 1 en 1969 et, en route pour son second titre. Il obtient l'autorisation de suivre le champion pendant un week-end de Grand Prix. Lors du Grand Prix de Monaco 1971, que Stewart va d'ailleurs remporter, la caméra du cinéaste se glisse dans l'intimité du champion alors au faîte de sa gloire, tant sur le circuit qu'en dehors, aux côtés de son épouse Helen.
