True Tales

Just two days after Lee Harvey Oswald's assassination of President John F Kennedy, Oswald himself is murdered on live television by a little-known Dallas strip club operator named Jack Ruby. Why did he do it? Despite decades of theories and speculation, the question has never been satisfactorily answered. Until now. Shunning the press for nearly 50 years, Tammi True - a top-billed stripper in Jack Ruby's Carousel Club - is finally ready to real the answers. AMS Pictures presents True Tales, an original docudrama exploring the bizarre world of 1960's Dallas burlesque through the eyes of its preeminent entertainer. Featuring dramatic re-creations shot at actual locations, True Tales immerses you into the events that led to one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th century.

Patrolman P

In 1971 the Knapp Commission, entrusted to expose corruption in the New York Police Department, faces a major problem. They have little physical evidence - their main source, Frank Serpico, won't wear a wire. They finally strike gold when a corrupt cop named William Phillips agrees to become their undercover agent, in exchange for immunity from a bribery charge. The evidence he eventually collects leads directly to the indictment of thirty New York cops. But the tables quickly turn when Phillips himself is convicted of a double-homicide. Three decades later and still in prison Phillips claims he's the victim of a massive police conspiracy.
