Birth of a Natiaon
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/17/2017 8:23 PM EST Slavery in this country has been the fodder of major motion pictures since the epic drama Roots aired on television in the 1970's.

Keeping Up With The Joneses
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/17/2017 11:05 AM EST Spy movies are generally very popular and well received in this country, especially when there is a team of spies.
