Beginning as a city-symphony of Newark streets, buildings, and people set to wordless chanting, The New-Ark quickly arrives at its political imperatives: Black Power must be accomplished through nationalism, and "a nation is organization."

Mirror Mirror provocatively explores the relationship between a woman’s body image and the quest for an idealized female form.

Thirteen women, of varying age, size, and ethnicity, reveal the ambivalence with which they regard their own bodies. Their musings about specific body parts are underscored by archival footage of beauty competitions.

The journey begins turbulent and chaotic in the middle of the corona pandemic. Virtually overnight, previously planned travel routes become impassable. Border crossings that used to be easy are now becoming a complicated undertaking. But there are also rays of hope: During his 14-month journey, the “crazy German” became a phenomenon for people, giving them hope again in dark times.

He symbolized the USA - the dream and the nightmare. As a debuting writer, Norman Mailer was the “angry young man,” but he died as an angry old man and an icon of America. In between, life was like a roller coaster ride, marked by brilliant success and dark moments. Born in 1923 to Jewish immigrants, Mailer grew up in Brooklyn. The dominant figure in the family was his mother, whose father was a grocer and hotelier in the seaside town of Long Branch, New Jersey. Norman actually wanted to become an aircraft engineer, but took writing courses at Harvard College while studying.
