Central Florida Film and Video Festival

The 1995 Winner's

1. When Billy Broke his Head

Billy Golfus, an award winning journalist, suffered a severe head injury in a motor scooter accident ten years ago, but this video, as he says "ain't exactly your inspirational cripple story." Disability is not just a medical fact, it also has a political dimension. In this irreverent, first person road movie, he meets disabled people around the country, and witnesses first hand the strength and anger that is forging a new civil rights movement for disabled Americans. A funny program about the search for intelligent life after brain damage.

Abortion and contraception goes back for thousands of years as does the question of who should control them. Our attitudes about controlling human reproduction through abortion and contraception have changed radically over the centuries. This film uses the history of one state, Connecticut, to reveal the larger story of abortion and contraception as a whole from colonial times to the present. This is the first documentary to place this explosive issue in a broad historical context.
Narrated by Katherine Hepburn, Jason Robards, Brooke Shields, and Joanne Woodward.
