The man-children survive by remaining in the employ of Chee's Uncle Rob, a wealthy Silicon Valley landlord-tycoon. When Uncle Rob asks them to do a seemingly small job: get his nephew Mayunk a fresh haircut and new suit for his upcoming engagement party, Chee and T kick back thinking they're in for the easiest job of their 'careers.' Unfortunately for the duo, young Mayunk has an unfiltered swagger and talent for hunting down narcotics. It turns out that handling their hyperactive, drug-crazed little cousin proves to be anything but simple.

Walk With Me: The Trials of Damon J. Keith
Buy Tickets!
Canada - 104 minutes

Director: Jesse Nesser
Producer: Patrick Lane, Mitch Albom, Sally Davis
Cast: Damon J. Keith, Mitch Albom, John Conyers Jr, Peter Hammer

The story of ten extraordinary years, four groundbreaking cases, and one unconventional federal judge.

An ordinary "colored" janitor from Detroit, whose personal struggles reflected those of a nation first coming to terms with civil rights, Damon J. Keith became a controversial judge who used the law to advance social change, ultimately changing the country. Today, at 94, he is still on the bench; he is still the only federal judge ever to be sued by a sitting U.S. President, and his rulings continue to influence a nation still arguing about "which lives matter" almost 50 years later.

It may be the greatest story you never heard.

After she starts an affair with Ian, a performance artist coffee shop barista, real life proves too complicated. She packs up a suitcase and moves to a small beach town in North Carolina only to find out that peace of mind is not necessarily found by chasing it.

When a 9-year-old girl breaks a powerlifting world record, she turns into an international phenomenon and “Supergirl” is born.

SUPERGIRL follows Naomi’s unique coming-of-age story as she fights to hold on to her title while navigating the perils of adolescence—from strict religious obligations to cyber-bullying, and health issues which could jeopardize her future in powerlifting. Can she still be “Supergirl” if she can no longer break world records? With a passionate family supporting her, Naomi must learn to accept herself and discover she is as strong inside as she is outside.
