Adapted from the books by Neale Donald Walsch that inspired and changed the lives of millions worldwide, “Conversations with God” tells the true story of Walsch (Henry Czerny) who, at the lowest point in his life, asks God some very hard questions. The answers he gets from God/within become the foundation of an internationally-acclaimed book series that has sold over 7 million copies and been translated into 34 languages. The film chronicles the dramatic journey of a down and out man who inadvertently becomes a spiritual messenger and bestselling author.

Conversations with God
Cocaine Cowboys
The cocaine trade of the ’70s and ’80s had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia’s Medellin cartel. By the early ’80s, Miami’s tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover story dubbed the city “Paradise Lost.”
With “Cocaine Cowboys,” filmmaker Billy Corben – whose first feature “Raw Deal: A Question Of Consent,” was a sensation at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival – paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth, evidenced by the latest manifestation, NBC/Universal’s “Miami Vice.” Composer of the original “Miami Vice” theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score.
