Carey-Ann Pawsey

Orca Sound

Thrown out of the Olympic Village, sent home, shunned from the sport they practiced and sent down a path of personal and professional problems for decades. These two twentysomethings paid a heavy price for their fight for equality.

Rated: 3.5/5

Dante James

Film Threat

The Stand: How One Gesture Shook The World is a pertinent history lesson for ALL people, American and otherwise. It's worth investing that hour of your time to see how far we've come, yet how far we still have to go in this country.

Rated: 7/10
