“Bird of Passage” Review

November 16, 2018 by Walker Edwards

Birds of Passage follows the rise and fall of a Columbian drug lord, interweaving a Godfather-style story with the culture and folklore of Columbia’s indigenous clans.

November 14, 2017 by Leah Vaughn Crawford

Did you ever stop to think about where your plastic goes after disposal? Let’s say that smoothie or iced coffee you had this morning. After one use, you’ve threw away a cup, lid/cap and plastic straw that may end up in the ocean. How about the poke bowl you had for lunch? Was your fish … [Read…]
