Hundreds of historians have written extensively about the abolitionist, John Brown, and an overwhelming majority of them have rightly concluded that Brown’s actions initiated and led to the inception of the Civil War – the bloodiest war in American history. Yet, no one has ever made a biopic about John Brown and they most certainly haven’t produced a film that is factually based on his true-life story.
Simply put, Brown is about real-life sacrifice. It shows us how one man gave up everything, including his life, for the freedom and equality of the slave. Although it covers the most significant eight years of John Brown’s life, it starts while he is still somewhat of a pacifist and it ends with his violent tactics at Harper’s Ferry. Along the way, Brown takes us on an epic journey.
One run-on sentence sums it up. From giving up his church pew to a black family after a racist elder asked them to leave, to working with Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Detective Allan Pinkerton, and all of the “Transcendentalists” (including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau), to his violence during the controversial “Potawatomie Massacre” in “Bloody Kansas,” to foregoing the chance to kill the antagonist who murdered his special needs son in cold blood, to liberating 11 former slaves by escorting them over 1,100 miles, to handing a foe two loaded pistols when he overheard him say in a speech that he hoped to kill John Brown if he ever met him, to his final hurrah at Harper’s Ferry (in which he raided the U.S. Army Arsenal, in which he kidnapped George Washington’s nephew, and where he was finally apprehended by Robert E. Lee and Jeb Stuart), to having John Wilkes Booth pay a soldier to let him use his uniform so that he could watch Brown be hung, to having Stonewall Jackson oversee Brown’s hanging which ultimately became the first execution for treason in American history, to having the song “John Brown’s Body” become the Union Army’s most popular battle hymn during the Civil War and the precursor to the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” still sung today by the American military, John Brown’s story is amazing.
Based almost entirely on historic fact and actual chronology during the most significant period in John Brown’s life, Brown covers the above and more in the epic-length biopic about the infamous abolitionist who “lit the spark that started the American Civil War.”

Josiah Wedgwood’s simple life takes an unlikely turn when he falls in love with the daughter of an Earl in 18th Century England. Because Josiah is an indigent potter with a physical malady, the Earl forbids his smitten daughter, Sarah, from seeing Josiah. The Earl eventually relents but only allows Sarah to see Josiah in the privacy of his home for one hour per month until he raises her dowry of ten thousand pounds, the modern equivalent of ten million dollars today. Undaunted, Josiah commits to becoming “the wealthiest potter the world has ever known.” Confined by the rules of the arrangement, Sarah and Josiah see each other for one hour per month in the Earl’s parlor for over ten years! And, yet, driven by his love for Sarah during that time – Josiah Wedgwood not only raises the dowry, he becomes the wealthiest man in the world, a leader in the British abolitionist movement, a great friend of Benjamin Franklin, the builder of one of the first canal systems and industrial plants ever, the “Royal Potter of England” and a friend to royalty, and the founder of the Wedgwood Pottery empire still in existence today. Not only does Sarah and Josiah’s love spark some interesting plot twists, it leads to the birth of their famous grandson – evolutionist Charles Darwin. Inspired by the true story of Josiah and Sarah Wedgwood, this period drama covers the years of their courtship and the struggles they both overcome in winning the hand of the one that they love.
They are not munchkins! They are MUNCHAKINS, and they are quick to correct anyone if they get it wrong! In this animated feature, The Munchakins, Roosevelt Munchakin is exploring the Munchashire Forrest when he bumps into his neighbor who always seems to rub him the wrong way, the precocious Hazel Munchakin. In the middle of an argument, Roosevelt and Hazel get lost in the vast Munchashire Forrest. Frightened by a giant weezleworm, Roosevelt and Hazel sprint through a thicket and fall down a large hill only to realize that they aren’t in Munchakin Land anymore. Brought into the world of humans, Roosevelt and Hazel embark on a quest, meeting friendly humans who help them along the way to find their way back to Munchakin Land, and the home that they love, despite the efforts of the human King Tralpaz – who does all he can to suppress the long-held secret that Munchakins really do exist.
The members of Chi Rho Lambda Fraternity, or Chi Rho for short, do a little more drinking and gummy eating than they probably should. Candidly, most of the students who attend State University – stay a little impaired themselves – most of the time. Impaired State is a television series comedy that follows the boys of the self-described “chill fraternity” (because of the interchange between the Greek letters Chi, H for Rho, and the English letter L for Lambda) as they do their best to make their way through college – despite their all too frequent benders. Navigating the complexities of dealing with a university president who really despises them, President Kreuger, who the Chi Rho boys call “President Cougar” because of her obvious senior good looks, and a nemesis fraternity, Sigma Upsilon Chi, who Chi Rho members refer to as the fraternity that “SUX,” there is always something to deal with. And, it doesn’t help that because of their less than stellar approach to life, the “chill” young men of Chi Rho don’t always come off looking like the sharpest tools in the shed.
