  • Highway Patrolman
    HIGHWAY PATROLMAN A film by Alex Cox 1991 / USA / Mexico / Japan / 104 min. / In Spanish with English Subtitles Press materials: www.kinolorber.com Distributor Contact: Kino Lorber 333 W. 39th Street New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Sales: Jonathan Hertzberg, [email protected] Publicity: David Ninh, [email protected] 1 Synopsis: Repo Man director Alex Cox went south of the border to film this dramatic tale of a rookie member of Mexico’s national highway patrol, who struggles to keep on the straight and narrow in a department rife with corruption. Now available in a new 4K restoration overseen by the director. 2 Director’s Statement: In 1986, Lorenzo O’Brien and I were scouting locations for Walker in the Mexican Sierra Madre. We shot that film almost entirely in Nicaragua, but for the duration of our Mexican scout, our driver was a former Highway Patrolman, Poncho Granados. Poncho entertained us greatly with stories of his experiences in the Mexican Highway Patrol, and the idea of a film took root. After the release of Walker, Lorenzo and I found that neither of us could get arrested in Hollywood. So we went back to Mexico, tracked down Poncho, and interviewed him for several days. Those interviews formed the basis for Lorenzo’s script, Highway Patrolman. Pretty much everything that happens in Highway Patrolman happened to Poncho. If it didn’t happen to him, it happened to Lorenzo, or to me. We soon realized that Lorenzo’s script - with a mulitiplicity of characters and locations all over Northern Mexico, would be expensive to make.

  • WHEN the ATHLETE IS a CHILD: an Assessment of USA Swimming’S Safe Sport Program
    WHEN THE ATHLETE IS A CHILD: An Assessment of USA Swimming’s Safe Sport Program January 27, 2014 Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, Inc. | Gundersen Clinic, Ltd. | 10076_0114 When the Athlete is a Child: An Assessment of USA Swimming’s Safe Sport Program “The road to the Olympics, leads to no city, no country…The road to the Olympics leads — in the end — to the best within us.” 1 --Jesse Owens INTRODUCTION There are 340,568 athlete members of USA Swimming. Of this amount, 317,103 athletes—more than 93%--are children. Approximately 57% of them are girls and slightly more than 42% are boys.2 Many of the children in USA Swimming are very young with nearly 11% or 34,690 being eight years old or younger. As any parent can attest, children this young need considerable guidance in getting to the school bus, in eating right, and even remembering to take off their flip flops before entering a pool.3 More than 20% of the children in USA Swimming, totaling 67,769 athletes, are ages 15-17. Some of these children drive cars and date and talk of college. They are, however, still in need of guidance and are no less vulnerable.4 An undetermined number5 of the children in USA Swimming—past and present—have been abused in one or more ways. This abuse may have happened in their own homes6 or it may have happened on the deck, in locker rooms or while traveling with their swimming coaches or teams. In some cases, abuse has happened in the plain sight of other athletes, coaches and parents.7 1 This quote was found online at: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/784622.Jesse_Owens (last visited January 20, 2014).

Hollywood was often singled out as the most powerful instrument in this process, with US-made movies, which dominated so many of Europe’s silver screens from the 1920s onwards, helping to ‘colonise the subconscious’ of the Continent, as a Wim Wenders character famously put it. The cold war, rather than stymieing the onward march of US film imperialism, if anything eased its progress. For all the talk in the West of the conflict being about cultural diversity and the freedom of choice, the cold war saw Hollywood, aided by the US State Department, strengthen its grip on the world’s movie markets outside the communist sphere. Yet ‘Hollywood’ has always been a somewhat misleading term, given the prominent role foreign-born, principally European filmmakers have played in its history.

Dermot, whose wife Claire has died in a tornado in California, seeks the assis- tance of Adele, the leader of a Mars settlement. Should they fail, a war will ensue between a race desperate for survival and the inhabitants of Mars who don’t want their new world destroyed as Earth was by billions of unsustain- able newcomers.
