Paul Ziller directs this disaster movie following the havoc wreaked by a giant root system that grows at an exponential rate and tears through everything in its path. A pair of environmentalists, Kate (Luisa D'Oliveira) and Joe (Jesse Moss), are among the first to encounter the bizarre phenomenon of the root, but so great is the damage it causes that it is soon a matter of widespread concern. Government agent Jack Taylor (Adrian Pasdar) is one of those tasked with finding a way to contain the problem and seeks out plant expert Jocelyn Snow (Stefanie von Pfetten) for her advice. There are a range of theories on what may lie behind the dangerous plant system, but Jocelyn is convinced that the seed engineering of Frame Marcos (James Morrison) is at the heart of it.

'The Left Behind' is a defining motif of contemporary British political discourse. It is the thread that knits together the 2016 Brexit referendum, the crumbling of the fabled 'Red Wall' in the North, and the pernicious culture war being waged today. But who are the Left Behind? James Morrison goes in search of the reality behind the rhetoric, offering the first comprehensive, historical analysis of the origins, uses and meanings of the term. He interrogates the popular archetype of the Left Behind - as a working class, leave-voting white male from a former industrial heartland - and situates the concept in the context of longstanding, demonising discourses aimed at communities seen as backward and 'undeserving'. Analysing national newspaper coverage and parliamentary discussions, and drawing on interviews with MPs, community leaders, charities and people with direct lived experiences of poverty and precarity, The Left Behind grapples with the real human cost of austerity for neglected post-industrial communities and other marginalised groups across the world, and the stigmatising discourse that does little to serve them.

This book argues that Britain is gripped by an endemic and ongoing panic about the position of children in society - which frames them as, alternately, victims and threats. It argues the press is a key player in promoting this discourse, which is rooted in a wide-scale breakdown in social trust.

Todd Haynes has emerged from the trenches of independent American film in the 1990s to become one of the twenty-first century's most audacious filmmakers. In a series of smart, informative essays, this book traces his career from its roots in New Queer Cinema to the Oscar-nominated "Far from Heaven" (2002). Along the way, it covers such landmark films as "Poison" (1991), "Safe" (1995), and "Velvet Goldmine" (1998). Contributors look at these films from a variety of angles, including his debts to the avant-garde and such noted precursors as Rainer Werner Fassbinder; his adventurous uses of melodrama; and his incisive portrayals of contemporary life.

Weary from the turbulent sixties, America entered the 1970s hoping for calm. Instead, the war in Vietnam and its troubled aftermath persisted, the Watergate scandal unfolded, and continuing social unrest at home and abroad provided the backdrop for the new decade. The scene was similar in Hollywood, as it experienced greater upheaval than at any point since the coming of sound. As the studio and star systems declined, actors had more power than ever, and because many had become fiercely politicized by the temper of the times, the movies they made were often more challenging than before. Thus, just when it might have faded out, Hollywood was reborn--but what was the nature of this rebirth?

"Hollywood Reborn" examines this question, with contributors focusing on many of the era's key figures--noteworthy actors such as Jane Fonda, Al Pacino, Faye Dunaway, and Warren Beatty, and unexpected artists, among them Donald Sutherland, Shelley Winters, and Divine. Each essay offers new perspectives through the lens of an important star, illuminating in the process some of the most fascinating and provocative films of the decade.

"Shipwrecked: Disaster and Transformation in Homer, Shakespeare, Defoe, and the Modern World" presents the first comparative study of notable literary shipwrecks from the past four thousand years, focusing on Homer's "Odyssey," Shakespeare's "The Tempest," and Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe." James V. Morrison considers the historical context as well as the "triggers" (such as the 1609 Bermuda shipwreck) that inspired some of these works, and modern responses such as novels (Golding's "Lord of the Flies," Coetzee's "Foe," and Gordon's "First on Mars," a science fiction version of the Crusoe story), movies, television ("Forbidden Planet," "Cast Away," and "Lost"), and the poetry and plays of Caribbean poets Derek Walcott and Aime Cesaire.

The recurrent treatment of shipwrecks in the creative arts demonstrates an enduring fascination with this archetypal scene: a shipwreck survivor confronting the elements. It is remarkable, for example, that the characters in the 2004 television show "Lost"share so many features with those from Homer's "Odyssey" and Shakespeare's "The Tempest."

For survivors who are stranded on an island for some period of time, shipwrecks often present the possibility of a change in political and social status--as well as romance and even paradise. In each of the major shipwreck narratives examined, the poet or novelist links the castaways' arrival on a new shore with the possibility of a new sort of life. Readers will come to appreciate the shift in attitude toward the opportunities offered by shipwreck: older texts such as the "Odyssey" reveals a trajectory of "returning to the previous order." In spite of enticing new temptations, Odysseus--and some of the survivors in "The Tempest"--revert to their previous lives, rejecting what many might consider paradise. Odysseus is reestablished as king; Prospero travels back to Milan. In such situations, we may more properly speak of "potential transformations." In contrast, many recent shipwreck narratives instead embrace the possibility of a new sort of existence. That even now the shipwreck theme continues to be treated, in multiple media, testifies to its long-lasting appeal to a very wide audience.
