The Chevron Ecuador case is taking a new turn as we enter a new year in the almost 20 year old legal case.

For the record: Paul Simon and director Joe Berlinger hope 'Under African Skies' clarifies why Simon recorded' 'Graceland in South Africa.

As part of our Sundance kickoff, Deadline published a list of the "Famous Behind The Camera" with films premiering at the festival.

When Paul Simon released his epic South African-influenced "Graceland" album in 1986, Joe Berlinger, then 25 and already a big fan of the singer-songwriter, was quite aware of the simmering political implications that came along with the highly successful and rhythmically rich recording.

But those aren't the same film. Berlinger, who directed the acclaimed "Paradise Lost" film trilogy about the West Memphis 3, isn't involved with "West of Memphis," Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh's documentary about the three men who were wrongly convicted in 1994 of killing three children.
