Trevor Noah is behind a series of documentaries that highlight a range of hot button issues in the United States.
The comedian, who recently announced his exit from The Daily Show, is exec producing The Turning Point for MSNBC, which will feature a slew of standalone films.
You can watch the trailer for the series above and a clip of Shouting Down Midnight, the first film to launch which is exec produced by Richard Linklater.
MSNBC Films has set the premieres for the first three films in the series; Shouting Down Midnight will launch on October 23, From Devil’s Breath, which is produced by Leonard DiCaprio, launched on November 13 and Split Screen, which is based on a story from Noah, comes on November 20.
The films will feature issues such as the January 6th capitol riots, reproductive rights, climate change and the refugee crisis.
Shouting Down Midnight, which is directed by Gretchen Stoeltje, looks at how in 2013, women shared real stories to help Texas State Senator Wendy Davis filibuster in defense of Texas women’s access to reproductive healthcare.
As the capitol filled to capacity for the first time in its history, and people all over the world tuned in, Sen. Davis read testimony from women strongly opposed to the bill which would effectively force draconian, pre-Roe v. Wade conditions on women again. The bill ultimately passed, but not before Texas women – and the men who love them – made it clear that day that the Texas legislature had gone too far. Forcing debate on the bill provided citizens a view of the process and a role in demanding accountability from their elected representatives. People were activated. Lives were transformed. History was made.

you a man who will commit securities fraud for you! Are you kidding?”Joking somewhat aside — it is Trevor Noah after all — the late night host noted that giving your wife shares in your company is “a weird gift,” noting that it sounds more like Trump forgot Melania’s birthday and was scrambling to find something to give her at the last minute.“The funny thing is, Truth Social is such a failure of a company, that she probably didn’t even want the shares, you know?” Noah said. “It’s almost like when your kids give you that gift, but it’s just like a piece of macaroni art for your birthday.
flashed an honorary sheriff’s badge during a debate with Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock — before missing the second showdown in the closely watched race.The former football star, 60, was widely mocked and accused of exaggerating his credentials, and “The Daily Show” host unsurprisingly joined in on the mocking soon after.“I don’t know what’s crazier in this story,” the host said. “The fact that this man lied about being in law enforcement, or the fact that he pulled out a fake badge during a debate.”Noah then wondered how many people Walker arrested using his fake credentials, before quipping if the politician uses a “World’s Best Dad” cup to prove he’s a present dad.During his spiel, Noah said the “saddest part” of the ordeal is that “there are people who are going to believe that Herschel Walker was in law enforcement because he pulled out this badge.”He then compared his “honorary” badge to Taylor Swift’s honorary doctorate degree from NYU.“You don’t see her [Swift] in the operating room like, ‘Well, killed another one!’”Walker addressed the controversy to NBC News, saying the badge was “honorary,” but also “legit” and grants him certain authorities in the jurisdiction.“This is from my hometown,” he said of the badge.

Manori Ravindran International Editor Richard Linklater’s action comedy “Hitman” has begun production in New Orleans for AGC Studios, with actors Austin Amelio, Retta and Molly Bernard joining the cast. “Hitman” stars Glen Powell and Adria Arjona, and was announced ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, where it was first introduced to buyers. Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios is co-financing the movie with leading indie financiers Shivani Rawat’s ShivHans Pictures and Monarch Media. Powell, who plays Hangman in Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” stars in the project as a Houston cop who’s been working undercover as the most in-demand hitman in Houston, until one day he breaks protocol in order to help a desperate woman (Arjona) trying to escape an abusive boyfriend. The project is based on a Texas Monthly article.
