Traveling across South Africa in 1962, Nelson Mandela eluded police in his disguise as a chauffeur for a white man. The elegant passenger in the gleaming Austin Westminster was Cecil Williams, a leading Johannesburg theater director, commit- ted freedom fighter, and gay man. This revealing portrait by the director of Paris Was a Woman and Before Stonewall blends dramatized accounts of key incidents in Williams's life with archival footage, home movies, and a rare interview with Mandela. "The result is an engrossing, smoothly put together chronicle of a forgotten hero's personal and political bravery" (Derek Elley, Variety).

Viewers need not be familiar with cabaret duo Bertram Ross and John Wallowitch to enjoy this delightful documentary. Each an acclaimed New York artist in his own right--Ross as Martha Graham's stunningly elegant lead dancer, and Wallowitch as a multi-talented songwriter, composer, and pianist–the mutual admirers began their happy relationship over three decades ago and later fused their artistic abilities with equal success. Through candid conversations, beautifully shot interviews, archival footage, and performance clips, director Richard Morris creates "an exceptionally tender portrait of partners on stage and in life...honest and intimate, straightforward but not sentimental... Morris wisely lets the partnership speak for itself" (Lael Lowenstein, Variety).
