Culture Corner:

One Life starring Anthony Hopkins. Based on the true story of a British man who helped save over 600 children – mostly Jewish - escape Prague right before the Nazi invasion in 1939. A truly moving story and timely given the rise in hate around the world. It is a story about why each one of us has the power to help others and that we may never understand the impact we have on this world with acts of kindness. The One Life movie is about an ordinary man who found out over 40 years later how impactful his actions were in saving those children.

Apple TV, Palm Royale starring Kristin Wig, Laura Dern, Allison Jenny and Ricky Martin, and Carol Burnet, so many great actors. Truly star studded. A campy story of Palm Beach Florida in the 1960’s, it can be cringy and serious and the clothes are fantastic. And Ricky Martin is so good and still so cute. Palm Royale.
