FULL SYNOPSIS: Based on true events, THE LENA BAKER STORY recounts one African-American womans struggle to rise above the challenges of her life, to face the choices she makes, and to ultimately triumph over her impossible circumstances. As a young girl in the early 1900s Lena Baker (Tichina Arnold) and her mother (Beverly Todd) make ends meet by picking cotton in the hot southern sun of rural Cuthbert, Georgia. Lena grows up to work as a prostitute during the Roaring Twenties in an attempt to make enough money to head north and start anew. She is arrested before her dream is realized and sentenced to ten months of hard labor. Returning from this grueling experience and reuniting with her mother on the dusty road near their home, it is clear that Lena is changed forever. Years later, it seems that Lena has finally overcome her inner demons. She has three young children, she no longer drinks, she attends church regularly and helps her mother with their weekly laundry work. Just when it seems Lena may be able to forget the sorrow of her past, she is called to work for Elliot Arthur (Peter Coyote), a tyrannical white man known in Cuthbert for his angry disposition and drinking. Over time, Lena and Elliot develop a highly-charged relationship, filled with alcohol, cruelty and a troubling need for one another. Elliots physical and mental abuse continues to escalate. He often kidnaps Lena from her home and imprisons her for weeks, keeping her from her children and mother. One particularly hot and humid night, Lena finally stands up for herself and attempts to break free from his bondage. A struggle ensues and the gun they tussle over accidentally goes off. Elliot Arthur, a white man, is shot by Lena Baker, an African-American woman. She is arrested soon after by the towns sympathetic sheriff (Michael Rooker) who is helpless in the face of social mores of the time. The trial is swift and a jury of 12 white men, her subpoenaed peers, find Lena guilty of murder in less than six hours. Lena soon receives the devastating news that she has been sentenced to death by electrocution. During the coming months, Lena prepares for her passing with dignity and strength. In the end, she dies confident in the knowledge that God will judge her in a way that her fellow human beings could not. Lena Baker was the first and only woman to be sentenced to death by the electric chair in the state of Georgia and was executed in 1945. She was pardoned posthumously in 2005.

Synopsis: COUNTDOWN TO ZERO traces the history of the atomic bomb from its origins to the present state of global affairs: nine nations possess nuclear weapons capabilities with others racing to join them, with the world held in a delicate balance that could be shattered by an act of terrorism, failed diplomacy, or a simple accident. Written and directed by acclaimed documentarian Lucy Walker (Devil’s Playground, Blindsight), the film features an array of important international statesmen, including Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pervez Musharraf and Tony Blair. Countdown to Zero makes a compelling case for worldwide nuclear disarmament, an issue more topical than ever with the Obama administration working to revive this goal today. The film was produced by Academy Award® winner and 2009 nominee Lawrence Bender (Inglourious Basterds, An Inconvenient Truth) and developed, financed and executive produced by Participant Media, together with World Security Institute.

One of her most memorable collaborations is the song "To Live & Die In L.A." by the late Tupac Shakur featuring Val Young, with whom she shared a very special working relationship.

Rich Mix to host award-winning Paul Robeson play Call Mr. Robeson, an award-winning one-man play about the famous African American actor, singer and civil rights pioneer is to be performed at Rich Mix, Bethnal Green on Thursday to Saturday 29 to 31 July 2010. The play ends its current Spring/Summer tour of England and Northern Ireland with these Rich Mix dates before settling into a three-week residency at Edinburgh Fringe in August. Oliver Carruthers, Arts and Cultural Officer at Rich Mix said, “Rich Mix’s raison d’aitre is to showcase culture from and about BAME artists of the highest caliber, and from what we have heard of Call Mr. Robeson, this really is just such a piece – one which we are very proud and pleased to present to the people of London.” Call Mr. Robeson is described as a roller coaster journey through Robeson’s remarkable and eventful life, and highlights how his radical activism caused him to be disowned and disremembered, even by the leaders and descendants of the civil rights movement. It features some of his famous songs and speeches, including a dramatic rendition of Ol’ Man River and a defiant testimony to the Senate House Un-American Activities Committee. It also deals with Robeson’s strong links with trade unions in America and Britain. Aluko, who has performed the play all over the UK, the US, Canada and Nigeria, to people aged from 11 to 90 says, ‘I am very ambitious for this play, as Paul Robeson’s story needs to be told again and again. Rich Mix in London’s East End is an important stop on what I hope will be a great journey to the West End - where the play deserves to be - and beyond. I’m really looking forward to presenting it in this venue, and I really expect that the short run will be of great benefit both to Call Mr. Robeson and Rich Mix’s existing and new audiences’. Accompanying Aluko on piano will be Leeds-based Jazz Pianist Michael Conliffe, who has also performed in another play, God Bless The Child about another Black music legend, Billie Holiday. Reviews: “I struggle desperately to find words that can truly express my feelings for this production and as such, I urge you, from somewhere within me that I haven't been in touch with for a long time, to go and experience it for yourself.” (5 Stars) Three Weeks Magazine For more information, contact Tayo Aluko on 0151 707 8187 info@tayoalukaondfriends.com Oliver Carruthers at Rich Mix on 020 7613 7662 Oliver.Carruthers@richmix.org.uk  From the STEP UP 3-D soundtrack SOPHIA FRESH ft T-PAIN "THIS INSTANT" CLEAN http://www.mediafire.com/?tdzjwn2gjm2 INSTRUMENTAL http://www.mediafire.com/?j2yn1jjocdi  BIO Lil BRUS AKA THE 6 YR OLD PHENOM RAPPER, WHO’S SWAGGER AND POSTIVE LYRICS HAS CAPTIVATED CROWDS IN VARIOUS CITIES THROUGHOUT FLORIDA AS WELL AS THE MUSIC MECCA CITY OF THE SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA.
