Gibsy - Rukeli Trollmanns Kampf ums Leben

Film tells the story of the boxer who sensationally won the German light heavyweight championship in 1933 and was stripped of the championship because he is a "gypsy". In protest, he went into the next fight as a caricature of an Aryan with white powdered skin and light hair - a dramatic decision.

White Boy

“White Boy Rick”, as he was called, was a novelty: A white teenager seemingly running a major inner-city drug operation. In May of 1987, 17-year-old Richard Wershe Jr. was charged with a non-violent, juvenile drug offense. By the time of his arrest he was already a Detroit legend, frequently making front-page headlines and leading the local television news. In this film, gangsters, hit men, journalists and federal agents struggle to explain why he remains in prison at nearly 50 years old. The possible explanation is more stunning than the crimes Wershe was alleged to have committed.
