Clem is a boy in strife. Blamed for the death of his mother, carrying a terrible secret from Grade 5 and in trouble with the police, he’s now in a school for toxic teenagers. And that rev-head school counsellor wants him to write letters. Through his writing Clem goes deep into the trauma that has defined his life. Then he comes face to face with his mother’s death. In a rush of bush bike racing, the death of one student and the consequent arrest of another, an unexpected first girlfriend, and some surprising friendships, Clem's story is the celebration of a boy who finds an unexpected future.
Norton Buffalo is considered one of the great harmonica players of the last 50 years. He started playing with the Steve Miller Band in 1976 and continued to play with the band until he died of cancer in 2009. Kim Smith Miller was the principal photographer of the Steve Miller Band from 1982 to 2012, during which time she took thousands of photographs of Norton. Known for capturing the emotional spirit of her subjects, Kim brings Norton to life through a selection of her photographs. Her photographs are augmented by essays by fellow band-members Kenny Lee Lewis and Steve Miller, as well as by in-depth interviews with Kim Miller and harpist Curtis Salgado by curator Ian Boyden.
In October 1998, the Concerned Christians mysteriously left Denver, Colorado in the middle of the night. Believing that America was Babylon and that Denver would soon be destroyed, the alleged "doomsday cult" left their comfortable lives, their loved ones, jobs, and homes, to meet the unreasonable demands of the cult leader. For a brief period of time, the highly publicized cult opened its invisible prison gates and permitted a few cult members to communicate with the secular world using email. Tormented by their absence, Betty J. R. Chavez struggled to convince her sister, Jan and Jan's millionaire husband John to return home and resume their rich life. Their email correspondence contained threats, accusations, persecutions, and finally a challenge. Betty acknowledged the aforementioned and accepted the challenge to analyze how Jan and John were tricked into joining the cult. She had to reach them before it was too late.
