Paper Line: Bragging Rights
Two years after the events of the first film, Spring 2022 pledges Rodney and Eddie challenge Big Brother Desmond and charter member Raheem to a 2 on 2 match to determine the top martial artists of Alpha Omega Sigma fraternity.
Ray of Sunshine
The year is 1999. Ray (16), along with his adopted siblings Anna (16), and Florence (11), lives with their abusive foster parents, Miranda and Father. After years of trauma and turmoil, the kids have had enough. They soon embrace a dark and supernatural force to give them all they need.
"Weed Wars: Maryland's Monopoly & The Fight For Free Markets" is a provocative documentary that exposes the deep-seated issues within Maryland's legalized cannabis market. Directed by Nicholas Patrick, the film reveals how restrictive policies and monopolistic practices stifle competition and maintain economic and social disparities, rather than fostering an industry with equitable market access. Through interviews with advocates from the Maryland Healthy Alternatives Association, Maryland Cannabis Equity Collective, Maryland Hemp Coalition, and Maryland NORML, the film delves into the manipulation, collusion, and corruption that underpin the current system. This documentary challenges viewers to reconsider the framework of cannabis legislation and advocates for reform towards genuine economic liberty and justice.
