This book traces the history of black prisoners in Alabama and their connections to and participation in the labor movement among miners in the late 19th century. Curtin (U. of Essex, UK) explores the convict- leasing system that ran most of Alabama's mines and its links to the African American transition out of slavery, illustrating the parallel transition from prisoner to coal miner.

Oddball comedy starring Matt Lucas. Bald and morbidly obese Franklin Franklin (Lucas) lives in an apartment complex filled with other quirky and eccentric characters including his stoner neighbour Tommy Balls (Johnny Knoxville) and the permanently bitter Mr. Allspice (James Caan). In a heated argument over rent, Franklin accidentally kills his landlord Mr Olivetti (Peter Stormare) and while staging the death as a suicide unwittingly causes a fire. When he hears that his brother has died from a brain tumour and left him a rather large amount of money in a Swiss bank account, Franklin sees an opportunity to make his escape, but before he can do so, he'll have to avoid detection by the fire investigation team led by Burt Walnut (Billy Crystal).
