Sexto Sentido: O Xou

1996 • 60 min

With the success of the "Sexto Sentido" Tour, Xuxa Produções together with Globo Vídeo began selling the show's record at the end of 1995 as a test for a possible release. The sale was carried out only by telephone. After the satisfactory sales result, the commercialization of the VHS materialized in May 1996 and the home video started to be found in the main stores in Brazil, in addition to rental stores. VHS brings the show of the second phase (1995), but without the majority of Xuxa's interactions with the public, without the guests who sang between the blocks and the performances of You Can Dance. The VHS edition did not have a base show as in the subsequent releases of Xuxa, but rather a mix of several recordings from the tour, including some shows from 1994.

Prisoners of the War on Drugs

1996 • 60 min • United States of America

From its beginning during the Reagan years through current times, the War on Drugs has left many victims stranded in the prison system. PRISONERS OF THE WAR ON DRUGS reveals life behind bars in the nation’s prisons. Each prisoner has his or her own story, but for most, the story is predictably similar; they have been criminalized for drugs or drug related offenses, locked up with easy access to substances, and given little opportunity for rehabilitation. This film provides an inside look at the prison system, its prisoners and a war on drugs we do not seem to be winning.

1996 • 53 min • United Kingdom

25 Million Pounds details the collapse of Barings Bank in the mid 1990s primarily by a broker called Nick Leeson, who lost £827 million ($1.3 billion) by speculating on futures contracts.

But in the late 19th century Barings almost went bankrupt after investing heavily in South American bonds, including backing the construction of a sewer system in Buenos Aires. The bank was saved by The Bank of England, but Edward Baring, the head of the bank, was financially ruined and never recovered.
