War Eagle, Arkansas
Starring Golden Globe, Emmy and two-time Tony Award winning actor Brian Dennehy, Academy and Emmy Award nominated actress Mare Winningham, Emmy and Grammy Award winning actress Mary Kay Place, and Emmy nominated actor James McDaniel.
The motion picture “War Eagle, Arkansas” tells the story of two friends forced to examine their life-long friendship after high school graduation points them in very different directions. Inspired by a true story, the young men champion their own disabilities as they find themselves at a major crossroads, the outcome of which could affect the lives of everyone in War Eagle. It is a dramatic, funny story, which will touch us all.
The true story of War Eagle, Arkansas is based on two boys growing up in North Little Rock, Arkansas, who form an unlikely friendship that has lasted more than 22 years. The uniqueness of their bond is even more compelling given their individual handicaps. Enoch is a good-looking athlete struggling with a speech impediment, and Wheels is a spirited young man suffering from cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound.

1 Giant Leap: What About Me?
Film-makers Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto set off around the world to capture and weave together as much musical, philosophical, artistic and spiritual inspiration as the world had to offer, and to examine, through their many diverse encounters, the extent of humanity’s collective insanity, insatiable desire, obsessions, fixations, desperations and above all, our inability to stop thinking. “What About Me?” fuses opinions and insights, both alarming and inspirational, from 50 global locations - hundreds of interviews with writers, market-sellers, brain surgeons, criminals, grave diggers and gurus, some famous, most unknown as the artists and singers express from their deepest truths the universal themes of Love, Pain, Surrender, and Grace in the most wide-reaching and diverse musical, philosophical and spiritual collaboration ever created.
