Produced for broadcast in conjunction with the Channel Four co-production The Celluloid Closet, these four works examine the special relationships between two Hollywood stars, a collection of soulful singers and a British soap. BLACK DIVAS looks at how such singers as Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Lena Horne and others reflect the gay experience. THE STREET looks at the quintessential English soap Coronation Street and tries to explain its huge gay fan base. A tribute to River Phoenix, THIS ROAD WILL NEVER END features interviews with some of the key characters in the young star's life. Lastly, since she first hit cinema screens in a series of unconventional teenage roles, Jodie Foster has been adored by lesbians who identify with her tomboy traits and admire her consistently powerful portrayals. Pratibha Parmar's JODIE illuminates the Jodie phenomenon with interviews and a wonderful selection of scenes from Foster’s film career.

Documentary profiling 18-25 year-olds who have HIV and are in the process of recovery from drug addictions.

There are 1.4 million homeless youth on the streets of America; about a third of them are gay, lesbian, bi or transgender. They are runaways, and some are "throw-aways," abandoned or forcefully exiled from their family homes. These young people endure familial abuse, drugs and alcohol, prostitution, and life on the streets; many attempt suicide. In 1992, seventy homeless youth — of various racial, cultural and sexual identities — registered for a theater project in the Hollywood shelter where they lived. This project encouraged them to share their stories. Of the original seventy, ten completed the project and became performers, playing roles from each others’ lives. Surviving Friendly Fire documents the creative process they went through to create the 1993 play, Friendly Fire, which was the centerpiece of the prestigious Los Angeles Festival before it played to great acclaim in high schools throughout the city. Also showing is Straight-Up Life: HIV and Addiction, which profiles 18-25 year-olds who have HIV and are in the process of recovery from drug addictions with the help of Walden House
