The documentary itself is straightforward and takes you on a fantastic journey through the five year period that the show was on the air. It also explains how the show was cancelled. The film does leave one with the question what if Soul! had had a 20-year-run instead of a five. I believe that the Black experience would have turned out quite different. Some artists would not exist. Had poets, artists, musicians, and dancers had the platform, more Black artists would exist and more genres would have opened.
  
I have to say that the description of this book does not do it justice.
 Hope in the Mountain River is book 2 in Misty M. Beller’s Call of the Rockies series. This book can be read as a standalone, although I recommend reading them in order as the first book sets the scene for this one. However, there are no loose threads and you can just read this one by itself if you choose too.
“This epic journey is not at all what she expected” is such an understatement

Enjoyed this book. It's an easy read, would probably make a good holiday book. But it is based on a difficult, challenging subject and is both heart-warming and disturbing at the same time.

I loved Lou, the main protagonist and thought she was a very vivid character with depth, richness and lots I could relate to. Whilst the book has a very serious subject matter underpinning the plot, the story is really about Lou and her journey maturity, independence and self-discovery.

A thought-provoking book capably written with sensitivity.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)
1991 | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi
Take everything good about the first movie, add William Sadler in what is surely his most iconic performance ever, members of Faith No More, a performance from goddam Primus (!), a sequence in hell that's genuinely unnerving as shit, evil robot versions of Bill and Ted, Hal Landon Jr's weirdly accurate impression of Ted, and a sprinkling of Pam Grier, and you get an absurdly wild sequel that tries to one up it's predecessor at every turn, and mostly succeeds.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is a ride. Love it.
