Baltazar and the Flying Pirates
Ages ago, Greybeard hid his treasure chest from his fellow swashbucklers. Ever since, the beautiful Captain and her infamous Corsairs have searched for it but their map missed the key piece. Tonight Redlocks recruits Greybeard's descendant, young Baltazar, to help locate the long lost riches. The boy points the way, but now the bustling amusement park 'Treasure Island' sits atop the buried booty. So join the crew of the flying Cutlass on a wild roller coaster to discover where 'X' marks the spot, and whether Baltazar and his mates can strike pay dirt before their tickets expire! More uplifting than the Pirates of the Caribbean, this tongue-in-cheek adventure features a legendary cast that includes Hook, Long John Silver, and Black Bart. With fond memories of summer vacations, pirate lovers of all ages will enjoy this ultimate joy ride.

Redbone: la verdadera historia de una banda de rock indigena estadounidense
Experimenta la fascinante y poderosa historia del movimiento de derechos civiles de los nativos americanos y su lucha por la identidad contada a traves de la carrera de los pioneros del rock and roll de la costa oeste de Redbone. Ya has escuchado la exitosa cancion "Come and Get Your Love" en la pelicula Guardianes de la Galaxia, pero la historia de la banda detras de la cancion es de gran importancia cultural, politica y social. Los hermanos Pat y Lolly Vegas fueron talentosos musicos de rock nativos americanos que tomaron por sorpresa el Sunset Strip de la decada de 1960. Influyeron a The Doors y se toparon con Jimmy Hendrix antes de que fuera "Jimi", y la idea de una banda compuesta de miembros nativos americanos pronto se hizo realidad. Dedicados a controlar su vision creativa y mantener su identidad cultural, firmaron un acuerdo con Epic Records en 1969. Pero a medida que el Movimiento Indigena Americano cobro impulso, la banda tomo una posicion, eligiendo el orgullo de su linaje en lugar de la recompensa comercial. Creado en cooperacion con la familia Vegas, los autores Christian Staebler y Sonia Paolini con el artista Thibault Balahy toman medidas cuidadosas para garantizar la precision historica de este importante momento del pasado de los Estados Unidos que a menudo se ignora. Parte una biografia y parte una investigacion, Redbone ofrece una voz a un grupo descuidado en la historia estadounidense. La historia detras de Redbone es de importancia cultural, politica y social. Proporciona una voz a un grupo descuidado en la historia estadounidense.
