Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story examines the life and work of Mark Sandman, deceased frontman of Boston “low rock” band Morphine. From his Newton, Mass., roots to his travels across America and around the globe, Sandman left an indelible imprint as one of the most distinctive musicians of his generation. Along with revisiting the "unique and sultry sound" of his music, the film explores the meaning of family through this critically praised and personally conflicted singer, songwriter, and innovative instrumentalist.

Tsua-Lei-Dan tells the story of Taiwan - the only modern democracy not recognized by the United Nations. After nearly five decades of oppression, the people of Taiwan must now face the challenges of the 21st century. The country remains divided between those who want to establish closer ties to China, and those who strive for independence and autonomy. Will Taiwan emerge as an example of thriving democracy in Asia, or will the west stand by as China asserts its claim to the island? This question and others will be explored by political icons Lee Teng-hui and Peng Ming-min, as well as other Taiwanese politicians, businessmen, musicians, filmmakers, and citizens.
