A biographical tale that follows Hollywood revolutionary Rod Serling's rise to fame in the Golden Age of Television, and his descent into his own personal Twilight Zone.We recognize him as our sharply dressed, cigarette-smoking tour guide of The Twilight Zone, but the entertainment business once regarded him as the “Angry Young Man” of Television. Before he became the revered master of science fiction, Rod Serling was a just a writer who had to fight to make his voice heard. He vehemently challenged the networks and viewership alike to expand their minds and standards—rejecting notions of censorship, racism and war. But it wasn’t until he began to write about real world enemies in the guise of aliens and monsters that people lent their ears. In doing so, he pushed the television industry to the edge of glory, and himself to the edge of sanity. Rod operated in a dimension beyond that of contemporary society, making him both a revolutionary and an outsider.

The true story of the Cambodian painter Vann Nath, who used his art to fight against barbarism and tyranny.In 1978, a young painter named Vann Nath was arrested by the Khmer Rouge, the violent and totalitarian Communist Party of Kampuchea that ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. Imprisoned in the infamous Tuol Sleng prison, better known as S-21, painting became synonymous with survival for him. Ordered, like many Cambodian artists and craftsmen, to put his talent to use to glorify his captors, upon his release he continued painting—this time, to remember and pay tribute to the victims of Pol Pot's regime. A story as fascinating as it is powerful.

It is a place where savagery knows no bounds. A place where foggy glass windows house a ruthless social hierarchy. A place where no one is truly safe. They call this place...the locker room.As teen boys discover a renovated locker room at their school, it becomes the nexus of genuinely life-altering events. Body shaming, bullying, and the cruelty of prying eyes are only the tip of the iceberg inside this cauldron of hormones and developing adolescent minds. Akin to the horrors of Lord of the Flies, The Locker Room explores a micro-society without boundaries in which only the strongest survive.

Before long, however, she meets Steve and realises “glowing up” is not the same as “growing up.”
