Celebrating the Life of George E. Johnson, Sr. (1927-2026)
Some lives become so woven into the fabric of our culture that we experience their influence long before we ever learn their name. For generations of Black Americans, George E.

My final dispatch of KVIFF features some heavy hitters. There’s the Crystal Globe winner, the festival’s top prize.

“Ride or Die”: Two Best Friends, Too Many Lies, and a Good Reason to Get a Fake Passport
“Ride or Die” arrives on Prime Video this week, and its title is accurate in multiple ways.
