INDIVIDUALISM VS. CONFORMITY 030245
The desire for individual freedom shapes the values of most Americans and has created a national mythology of rugged individualism. Yet, society's need for conformity also shapes our values. The result of this conflict is felt externally, between those with differing views, and internally, between our own need to remain individual and to con- form. This documentary first identifies the historical roots of the conflict and then shows that it can be seen today in students, truck drivers, political activists, businessmen--in short in all of us. Recognition of the complexity of our value structures can lead to more creative solutions to external conflicts in America, as well as help each of us define our inner values. The film is open-ended.

INSIDE THE JURY ROOM 055311
For three years the producer attempted to gain access inside a jury room to witness an actual deliberation. The Wisconsin State Court System allowed the producer to document the efforts of twelve men and women as they weigh facts, ponder evidence and debate the meaning of justice in the case of Leroy Reed. The case is significant because it deals with an ongoing legal debate: should jurors be told they have the power to disregard the law? In the past, "runaway" juries fought slave laws, prohibition and abortion. In Georgia, Indiana and Maryland, judges are obliged to inform juries that they may follow their own consciences.
