After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.

Undeterred by armed soldiers, evasive politicians, and riot police, journalist Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Steal This Story, Please! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news show Democracy Now!, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial media.

Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water, The Janes) take us behind the scenes with the warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi — raised in a tradition of asking hard questions – as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on the press – and on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?

After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote (Genius) finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote's chaotic catastrophes.

Every generation says the younger generation is problematic and faces unique challenges. Today's teenagers deal with political chaos, climate emergencies, pandemics, social media, and the rise of artificial intelligence. They generally experience poverty, the lack of employment opportunities, substance use, long wait times for increasingly remote healthcare, and isolation. Compounded with society's increasingly lack of interest in investing in public programs that might help, it is no wonder that small-town Maine teens flock to social media to find a sense of community, vape for anxiety release, or get lost in smartphones.

"Rural Dreams" is a documentary about rural Maine teens — written, filmed, and produced by them. Over three years, through interviews, filming from the ground and from drones, and narration, students created a record of their community. The film captures both the remarkable landscape of the Maine Highlands and this special and resilient generation.

Join us for this free premiere of Rural Dreams on Saturday, September 12th.

There will be a networking reception at 6:30pm with the film screening beginning at 7:00pm. Formal attire is welcome, but not required.

The film is 80 minutes long.

Watch the trailer here.
