NIGHT FLIGHT PLUS EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Frustrated by what she was hearing on commercial radio, Sue Carpenter built a 40-watt FM station in 1995 and ran it out of her apartment in Los Angeles, exploiting a legal case that allowed hundreds of low-power illegal radio operators to proliferate throughout the country and gave birth to the legal LPFM movement. Carpenter was 28 years old, a secretary and an aspiring journalist when she first set up KBLT and invited strangers into her house to spin whatever the hell they wanted. It soon took on a life of its own, drawing Mazzy Star to headline a benefit concert and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to play live in her living room.

Universally hailed as the first hip-hop movie, director Charlie Ahearn’s Wild Style captures New York’s hip-hop culture circa 1981 in timeless fashion. The groundbreaking film features a pantheon of prominent figures including Busy Bee Starski, Fab Five Freddy, The Cold Crush Brothers, and one of the godfathers of hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash. Wild Style follows the exploits of maverick tagger Zoro (real life graffiti artist Lee Quinones). Zoro's work attracts the attention of an East Village art fancier (Patti Astor) who commissions him to paint the stage for a giant Rapper’s Convention. 

American independent film icon Abel Ferrara's 1981 revenge thriller classic MS. 45 follows a mute garment-district seamstress (played by the late Zoe Lund) who, after falling victim to multiple unspeakable assaults, ignites her one-woman homicidal rampage against New York City's entire male population. MS. 45 rages from the cult underground to arrive on Night Flight Plus forty five years after its original release, reclaiming its title as one of the most shocking and complex revenge films of the 1980s.
