Starfighter

Germany in the "Swinging Sixties": the Bundeswehr is equipping itself with the ultra-modern "Starfighter" fighter jet. The air force pilots, including the daredevil Harry and his buddy Richie, are the stars of the armed forces. But the fascination with the fastest fighter jet in the world is offset by a dramatic series of accidents: Pilots crash to their deaths in the "Starfighter" one after the other. Officially, the disasters are attributed to human error. But Harry's wife Betti doesn't believe this - and after another serious accident, she takes up the fight against a seemingly overpowering alliance of politics, the military and business, supported by her friend Helga...

No One Would Tell

Shy sixteen-year-old Stacy Collins can't believe that the most popular guy in school, an attractive athlete named Bobby Tennison, is interested in her. At first she is flattered by his constant attention, but then he becomes possessive and jealous-telling her who she can speak to and what she can wear. Threats escalate into violence when Bobby thinks Stacy has stepped out of line. Soon she is walking on egg shells and living in fear. Having seen the tell-tale bruises, Stacy's best friend convinces her to break things off with Bobby-but in a moment of weakness, Stacy goes to meet him. It will be the last time she is seen alive.
