For Us, The Living: The Medgar Evers Story - DVD

Starring Howard E. Rollins, Jr. (Ragtime) as civil right activist Medgar Evers and Irene Cara (Fame) as his wife Myrlie, For Us The Living The Medgar Evers Story traces the life of the former insurance salesman turned field secretary for the NAACP, who was instrumental in organizing boycotts against discriminating southern white merchants and the desegregation of the University of Mississippi. Howard E. Rollins, Jr.'s riveting performance as Evers makes all the more poignant his struggles and triumphs, and the battle for equality that would shockingly end with his assassination at the hand of white supremacist Byron de la Beckwith.

From the award-winning children's series Happily Ever After: Fairytales for Every Child, HBO presents this magical, animated musical special that puts a feminist spin on one of the world's most famous fairy tales. With the help of her faithful band of Merry Chicas, Robinita Hood (Rosie Perez) saves her village from the evil Sherriff de Jamon (Rick Najera) in this salsa-fied adaptation of the classic adventure tale.
