The film starts with the events of March 2004 in Fallujah, where four Blackwater contractors were ambushed, set afire, their burned corpses dragged through the streets and then finally displayed hanging from a bridge. In interviews, two of the contractors’ families contend that Blackwater, in search of higher profit, neglected to provide proper support and protection to their employees, including maps, decent translators, an armored vehicle, and sufficient security personnel (their convoy was short a machine gunner). The families contend that with such support, their loved ones might be alive today.

The documentary focuses on eight people suffering from sleep paralysis, a phenomenon where people find themselves temporarily unable to move, speak, or react to anything while they are falling asleep or awakening. Occasionally this paralysis will be accompanied by physical experiences or hallucinations that have the potential to terrify the individual. In the film, Ascher interviews each participant and then tries to re-create their experiences on film with professional actors.

Le monde connaît Paul Newman comme un Prix d'Académie en gagnant l'acteur avec des cinquante - plus la carrière d'année comme un des acteurs les plus prolifiques et révérés au Cinéma américain. Il était aussi bien connu pour sa philanthropie; Newman Propre a donné plus de quatre cent trente millions de dollars aux charités dans le monde. Pourtant peu savent la passion alimentée d'essence qui est devenue si importante dans le maquillage de cet homme complexe, à multiples facettes. La passion invétérée de Newman pour les courses d'automobiles était si intense il a presque remplacé sa carrière d'acte. Sa carrière courant s'est étendue sur trente-cinq ans; Newman a gagné quatre championnats nationaux comme un chauffeur et huit championnats comme un propriétaire. Pas mal pour un gars qui n'a pas même commencé à courir jusqu'à ce qu'il avait quarante-sept ans.

China Blue dresse le portrait de Jasmine, jeune ouvrière chinoise ayant quitté sa campagne pour pouvoir travailler dans une fabrique de jeans près de Canton. Elle y témoigne, avec pudeur et sincérité, des conditions de travail qui sont les siennes dans le seul but de pouvoir fabriquer des vêtements bon marché. Ce documentaire offre un rare aperçu de la transformation rapide de la Chine et de ses conséquences. A l'opposé de l'image de travailleuses soumises, le film révèle une volonté farouche de se défendre et de résister.

The film starts with a brief reprise of the previous film, before cutting to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in Culver City, California where assistant cameraman Bill Reilly picks up the film from the lab for Marie Antoinette (1938) which he passes on to cameraman William H. Daniels. Behind the scenes footage shows W.S. Van Dyke directing a scene between Norma Shearer and Robert Morley before the negative is taken to the lab to be developed, dried and polished by lab technician John M. Nickolaus. The test strips are then read and delivered to the print room for printing. A tram takes the viewer on a quick tour of the studio complete with behind the scenes footage of George B. Seitz directing Judge Hardy's Children (1938), Freddie Bartholomew training with elephants for the then unproduced Kim, Luise Rainer doing a costume test for The Toy Wife (1938), and candid footage of Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy. The film concludes with a montage from trailers for coming MGM pictures and footage of Louis B. Mayer, Frank Capra, Luise Rainer and Louise Tracy at the 10th Academy Awards banquet.
