it seems that; the pastor has an idea.
There is a secret society known to many as The Wall. For some,
people who are working behind the scenes to maintain order when the
law fails those that depend on the system for security. To others,
a ruthless group of vigilantes that are taking the laws into their
hands and destroying the very image of Justice. A eager reporter
gains the opportunity to interview a leader of a Wall cell and
during the interview, he listens to tales of members that are
different but come together for a disturbing conclusion. In a
country where not everyone can get justice because of reasons
outside of their control, there is a place to go. When criminals
break the laws and are freed on technicalities and cracks in the
system, they soon find that there are no technicalities or no
cracks when they face The Wall. Nobody can hide behind a flawed
system that protects the rights of those who don't deserve them.
The guilty may appear innocent but with resources provided by
unknown sources, they all break when they go head on with a society
of vigilantes. When the system that's meant to protect the people
it serves fails them, how do criminals not expect the people to
fight back?
CHARLA begins with the central character's death, then flashes back
to a year earlier where we first meet this wonderful, witty,
talented, former saloon singer named Charla. We witness the
decimating relationship Charla has with her mother, in contrast to
the warm, nurturing alliance she enjoys with her teenage son. We
also meet Aaron, the last man in her life, who tries to save this
doomed fragile lady from her own self-destructive nature. This
original screenplay is a comic/tragic love story, inspired by the
life of actress Charla Doherty.
Little Angels is told by a young woman suffering from PTSD who is
desperately trying to cope with her illness and regain her sense of
self and wellness. Peace of mind is found largely through humour in
the dark times. The book explores many contemporary issues such as
faith, relationships, hope, spirituality and addiction. It is a
book that we can all relate to and empathise with.
The Lion of Egerton Castle is a play set in Kenya. It explores
social and political issues in the colonial and postcolonial
periods in Kenya and delves into a popular rumour that Lord Egerton
built 'Egerton Castle' for a woman who jilted him because she
likened the castle to a pigeon's coop. Lord Maurice Egerton
(1874-1958) was the Fourth Baron Egerton of Tatton Park in
Cheshire, England. He first came to Kenya in the early 1920s and
built Egerton Castle between 1930 and 1940. He settled permanently
in Kenya and died at his castle on 30th January 1958 without an
heir. He was a close friend of Lord Delamere, also a settler
aristocrat from Cheshire. Both settlers owned thousands of acres of
land in Kenya and ran joint business ventures. Prof. Elizabeth
Orchardson-Mazrui is the author of The Seasons of the Jacarandas:
An Anthology of Stories Set in Kenya.

She's wonderful - she's just kind of destroying my life. Maggie
(Greta Gerwig) is a young single woman in Brooklyn who is
determined to have a baby on her own through a surrogate. However,
she meets John (Ethan Hawke), an attractive, older university
professor, caught in an unhappy marriage, and they start a
relationship. Maggie's rejuvenating enthusiasm lures John away from
his wife, the domineering Danish critical theorist Georgette
Norgaard (Julianne Moore). The film moves forward three years and
the couple have married and settled down with a daughter together.
Everything has gone according to Maggie's plan, so why isn't she
happy? And what sort of meddlesome scheme will she concoct next?
Maggie's Plan, based on an unpublished novel by Karen Rinaldi, is
both an affectionate send-up of highbrow academic culture and a
treatise on modern self-realization. Rebecca Miller exhibits her
characteristic sensitivity to female experience, but with a
playfulness given freer rein than ever before in her work. The film
was premiered at the New York Film Festival in October 2015 and
received its official US release in May 2016.

husband, who are concealing a dark secret. People who learn their
secret seldom escape alive. THE AMUSEMENT is a twist-filled erotic
thriller.
This is all three parts; it seems that as the twin brothers were
looking for a job; they go; through these events; until; the
brothers; who might have found; a job.
