'Dark Winds' carries a moody Native-American crime thriller onto AMC

Atmosphere goes a long way in "Dark Winds," a brooding crime series set on Native-American tribal land in the 1970s that's part "True Detective," and with its vaguely mystical vibe, part "Twin Peaks." Featuring Native-American talent in front of and behind the camera, it's a solid mystery that's better during its wide-open-spaces buildup than the somewhat messy finish.

Lovell’s Food For Thought-The StarFish Story & Addressing Health Inequities

Making A Difference

I thought I would share this story of the Starfish, adapted by MissKorang. Although we have made little progress in addressing health inequities, like the story of the starfish, we have had a significant impact on those we have reached.
