Winner of the 2001 Academy Award(R) for Best Animated Feature Film! This "Ugly Duckling"-style story follows the fortunes of Shrek (voice of Mike Myers), a curmudgeonly, smelly green ogre who simply wants to be left alone. Impressed by Shrek's show of strength, the height-challenged Lord Farquaad offers the ornery ogre a deal: he'll stay away from his earthy abode if Shrek will rescue a beautiful princess from a dragon's lair. Joined by the exuberant Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy), the cranky Shrek begins a journey that leads him to discover things he never thought possible...such as friendship and love. "Shrek is an instant animated classic" (Variety). Also featuring the voices of Cameron Diaz, John Lithgow and Vincent Cassel.

Genre:Docu-Drama

The Montgomery Bus Boycott--launched when a black woman named Rosa Parks was arrested for sitting in the "whites only" section of a bus--ushered in the modern-day Civil Rights movement and introduced the world to a brave new leader. Terrence Howard, CCH Pounder and Carmen Ejogo co-star in this groundbreaking drama.
