From ephemeral home video clips to voice messages never before heard, this film weaves together the intimate, fragile, and incandescent life of a musician who defied convention—and whose flame was extinguished far too soon. We are drawn into a world where every whispered lyric, every undone recording, and every memory shared by those who loved him becomes a portal. We hear his own voice recounting his doubts. We see raw behind-the-scenes moments, fragile family relationships, and the creative tensions that accompany genius. Through interviews with his mother, former lovers, bandmates, and collaborators, the story casts a luminous, unsettling light on the weight of legacy, the burden of expectations, and the search for identity in the shadow of a father whose name he both carried and sought to transcend. This is not just a chronicle of dates and albums—but a pulse, an echo, a lament and a celebration. It asks: when someone leaves too early, how do we piece together what remains? And what does it mean to live forever through music?
Dive into a high-voltage odyssey through rhythm, rebellion, and raw groove — tracing the electrifying pulse that shaped decades of music. From deep African roots and the soul-drenched sounds of gospel and jazz, this vibrant exploration reveals how a powerful beat gave rise to a cultural revolution. Witness how icons like James Brown ignited the flame, how Parliament Funkadelic took it to the cosmos, how Labelle broke barriers, and how Fela Kuti turned rhythm into resistance. As the funk surged forward, it didn’t fade — it transformed, reshaping new wave and breathing life into hip-hop. Uncover the untold stories, the infectious energy, and the enduring legacy of a genre that refuses to sit still.
For generations, Monopoly has been America's favorite board game, a love letter to unbridled capitalism and — for better or worse — the impulses that make our free-market society tick. But behind the myth of the game's creation is an untold tale of theft, obsession and corporate double-dealing. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers, Monopoly's secret history is a surprising saga that features a radical feminist, a community of Quakers in Atlantic City, America's greatest game company, and an unemployed Depression-era engineer. And the real story behind the creation of the game might never have come to light if it weren't for the determination of an economics professor and impassioned anti-monopolist.

P.U.L.S.E is a Pink Floyd concert video taken from the 20 October 1994 concert at Earls Court, London. PULSE records the great psychedelic band Pink Floyd rocking out like only they can. Renowned for their hallucinatory special effects and lighting schemes, Pink Floyd goes all out at this spectacular (and very long) concert. Twenty-one of their classics are performed, including classic rock radio staples 'Dark Side of The Moon' and 'Wish You were Here". There was considerable delay in the release of the video edition of Pulse. The cause of the delays was reputed to be the continued modifications and additions to produce a high-quality release. The previous planned release date of 22 September 2005 for the two-disc DVD set was changed to 10 July 2006 for the UK and Europe, and 11 July 2006 everywhere else.
