New To On Demand And DVD: The Best of Enemies We fear what we do not know. Insulated in our own circle of friends, when we do not reach out to those who believe differently or simply appear different to us, we develop many unwarranted opinions.

Henson) is a well-known civil rights activist fighting for the members of the African-American community in Durham.

And after seeing the film Dumbo from Disney and director Tim Burton, I’m happy to say I know anything is possible. In 1919 the circus was the place to be.

Individuality. Each of us is born with slightly different characteristics than our neighbor. The things that make each of us different also help to define the person we become. Imagine, however, looking across the yard and witnessing versions of yourself looking back at you. But those versions, although similar, behave nothing like you.
