For One More Day
This is the story of Charley, a
child of divorce who is always
forced to choose between his
mother and his father. He
grows into a man and starts a
family of his own. But one
fateful weekend, he leaves his
mother to secretly be with his
father and she dies while he is
gone. This haunts him for
years. It unravels his own
young family. It leads him to
depression and drunkenness.
One night, he decides to take
his life. But somewhere
between this world and the
next, he encounters his mother
again, in their hometown, and
gets to spend one last day with
her the day he missed and

the questions many of us yearn

By the end of this magical day,
Charley discovers how little he
really knew about his mother,
the secret of how her love
saved their family, and how
deeply he wants the second
chance to save his own.

Animal Farm
A farm is taken over by its
overworked, mistreated
animals. With flaming idealism
and stirring slogans, they
embark on the creation of a
paradise of progress, justice,
and equality. Thus the stage is
set for one of the most telling
satiric fables ever penned -- a
razor-edged fairy tale for
grown-ups that records the
evolution from revolution
against tyranny to a
totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first
published fifty years ago,
Stalinist Russia was seen as its
target. Today it is devastatingly
clear that wherever and
whenever freedom is attacked,
under whatever banner; the
cutting clarity and savage
comedy of George Orwell's
masterpiece have a meaning
and message still ferociously
fresh.
