The year was 1940 and World War two was raging all throughout Europe. The United States had yet to become involved but England was enmeshed in the fighting.

We all feel pressure from our parents… get a good education, get a good job, get married, have a family, etc. But for some, that pressure becomes even greater when religious beliefs are thrown into the mix.

Absolutely Anything

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/5/2017 2:22 PM EDT

Money

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/28/2017 8:56 AM EDT
They say money is the root of all evil. Some people will do anything to get it while some of those who have it will do anything to keep it (or get more). It can certainly make life easier in some ways but harder in others and it is the rare individual who is left untouched by its appeal. Writer Josep Ciutat and Director Martin Rosete ex... Read More
