The Price of Sugar is a 2007 Uncommon Productions film directed by Bill Haney and produced by Haney and Eric Grunebaum about exploitation of Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic involved with production of sugar, and the efforts of Spanish priest Father Christopher Hartley to ameliorate their situation. It is narrated by actor Paul Newman. The documentary shows the poor working conditions in the sugar cane plantations, and political control exerted by the Vicini family to stifle efforts to change the situation.

While the documentary highlights the efforts of Father Christopher Hartley to bring medicine, education, and human rights to Haitian workers, it also shows the widespread resentment of his actions held by Dominican people.

Super Speedway vous immerge complètement dans un tout technique incroyablement détaillé avant de vous faire embarquer, via des plans semi-subjectifs particulièrement enthousiasmants, sur l'un de ces monstres de circuit que le film ne cesse de contempler et même d'implorer, dans toute sa perfection technique, affirmant peu à peu le pouvoir de conviction presque mystique qui frappe certains surhommes, adeptes pratiquants de vitesse et adorateurs des limites physiques admises. Ce film IMAX a été filmé en partie sur le circuit de Toronto, au Canada, lors des essais pour un grand prix.

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.

The documentary shows the development of the contemporary business corporation, from a legal entity that originated as a government-chartered institution meant to affect specific public functions to the rise of the modern commercial institution entitled to most of the legal rights of a person. The documentary concentrates mostly upon North American corporations, especially those in the United States. One theme is its assessment of corporations as persons, as a result of an 1886 case in the United States Supreme Court in which a statement by Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite led to corporations as "persons" having the same rights as human beings, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

After active service in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan four veterans openly discuss their experiences of conflict and the psychological effects of war on their lives beyond the battlefield and how they live life after their wars and once they return home. The film uses a mixture of talking head testimony, archive and highly stylised dramatic sequences.
