Just A Walk Down Memory Lane.
One of my favorite parts of growing up was watching movies back to back.

Fantastic Four Star Is Set To Star In Acclaimed SXSW Director's New Film
Picture this: Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system.
