Charo, a curious girl, arrives home and discovers her sister's absence. Exploring the room, you stumble upon a vast library. Unable to read, Charo scatters books throughout the room, creating a world of imagination. This short film, inspired by a memory of the director, celebrates childhood creativity and the transformative power of books in children's lives.
The power to function. As people, we are richly blessed to have the wide ranging scope of what we can accomplish…physically and mentally…that aid in everything we desire to strive for and, ideally, accomplish.

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
Throughout Brendan Fraser’s career, he has played a plethora of unique, layered characters who explore the importance of not being afraid to display your emotions, something that is often seen to not be a masculine trait. This idea of regulating emotion and what traits men are able to possess creates a toxic atmosphere for men who are often told they should not cry or represent their emotions in any physical way. These characters represent that men can be joyful, emotionally conscious, and sensitive, while also representing their masculine identity instead of painting those qualities as fighting against their masculinity.
