Crewel takes readers on a journey to a world where everything and everyone revolves around a patriarchal society. Women are traditionally seen as homemakers and completely subservient to men who rule the land. The heroine, sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys, has always secretly hoped for more and dreams of a life that she knows is outside her grasp.

Hungry for Change is not a how-to diet film. It’s a documentary melding many of the world’s leading nutritionists’ ideas about ditching the diet and getting healthy from the inside out.

I do not own a pit bull, although I’ve known one or two. I do not know anyone who has ever been bitten by a pit bull, but I do know a lot of people who have been bitten by other breeds of dogs (myself included). Thus, as an opponent of Breed Specific Banning, I knew going in that I would appreciate this film. I did not, however, understand the extent of BSB legislation across the country.
