The Little Ark (1972)

This remake of the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name brings a strong representative cast.

The second film takes us on Peter's journey to be understood.

The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there. A large topic of discussion is the influences on Elvis that made him who he was as a singer, musician, and performer, which were blues, gospel, and country. Many of the songs that rose him to fame were songs by Black artists he heard growing up in primarily Black settings.

The quiet ache of guilt sitting at the dinner table, the silence after a truth is buried, and the way pain is passed down like a name.

An unlikely friendship changes the hearts of men, and helps a young boy come into his own.

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.
