No data for this movieIn her debut documentary, director Abby Mohaddes shares the story of her father’s enduring bond with his college friends, spanning over forty years. Dubbed the “Nebraska Group,” these men from Iran found strength in each other’s company as they navigated both the political strife of the Iranian Revolution and the Iran Hostage Crisis while studying at the University of Nebraska as foreign students in the 1970s. Joining her father and his friends as they take a sentimental journey back to Lincoln, Nebraska, Abby bears witness to the power of the group’s friendship, a bond that now transcends generations.Buzz One Four
2017-02-15Buzz One Four chronicles the ill-fated flight of a Cold War B-52 Stratofortress loaded with two 3-4-megaton nuclear bombs that crashed 90 miles from Washington DC in 1961. Information suggests that detonation came closer than official reports indicated. The full details of the crash have remained classified and otherwise repressed by the Air Force, but the filmmaker, Portlander Matt McCormick, grew up with this story because the pilot was his grandfather. As McCormick recounts the history of the era, aspects of this crash, and other little-know nuclear-weapons accidents, he leaves us wondering if the U.S. was in greater danger of nuking itself than of being attacked by the Russians.A South-facing House ...

Early singles and songs from featured albums are represented here in some classic live performances (miming) or with some collages of period-appropriate footage. By late 1965 the Beatles were increasingly reluctant to make the constant round of television appearances to promote their new releases. So they decided to self-produce and videotape their own promo clips that could be distributed worldwide to any company waiting for T.V. The Beatles were the forerunners of the MTV revolution and instigated the era of promotional video.
