“Selma” & “Just Mercy” are Streaming Free Until the End of June
Two movies that do a fantastic job in conveying the ongoing struggle for racial justice are Selma (2014) and Just Mercy (2019).
Chicks with Sticks (2005)
The story takes the battle of the sexes into the hockey arena, as Paula Taymore – who almost once made the Olympic team – finds herself drawn into a challenge match against an irritating local men's squad. Fresh from a painful divorce, and doubting herself, Paula must make a winner out of an explosive, irreverent crew of women hockey players who flock to her town, Red Deer Alberta, to assemble the team.
