'Bama Girl
Documentary Feature/Featured
Bama Girl follows a young black woman's quest to become the 2005 Homecoming Queen at the University of Alabama, running against not only 15 other co-eds, but a strictly segregated Greek system, internal black politics, and, most ominously, a secret all-white association called 'The Machine' that has been controlling campus politics at the University for most of the past century. This is a film about black and white, about the Old South and the New South, and about an unexpected microcosm of electoral politics that mirrors much of what is happening across our country today.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Disney's A Christmas Carol  in Disney Digital 3-D.
