A Sydney man working late at night watches news stories detailing uncontrolled violence around the globe. He panics and rushes out to buy supplies. Later, his fears seem justified as news of a pandemic causing the violence is broadcast. Can he stay safe and protected within his own home? A group of Australian business people in Singapore return to their hotel to find news of the global pandemic. All flights are cancelled. How can they protect themselves? Can they get back to Australia? A young family decides to make a run for it from Sydney to a small town on the far South Coast. Can they get out of Sydney before its too late? Even if they do, will they be able to travel further? An American businessman on a flight to Sydney learns of the pandemic as the flight lands. His teenage son is home alone in Minnesota. He is caught up in quarantine detention. How can he keep his son safe and protect himself? As the day progresses, stories and rumors abound. What is the truth? Can the politicians and media be trusted, or are they lying to protect themselves? Most horrifying of all, is this really a zombie apocalypse? The Zombie Proof Fence tells of the accelerated collapse of the world as we know it. It is told from an Australian perspective, where the idea of fencing off problems has been a reality for dingoes and rabbits and can now be applied to people. It shows the confusion as governments and mass media are willing to ruthlessly hide the truth and the inevitability that all will be revealed with the help of social media.

Thomas surveys Stewart's life and career, and reviews the circumstances and plot of each of his films, from his small part in 1935's Murder Man to his last role as a grandfather in a 1981 Lassie movie.

An American Dream The Life To the majority of America, the infamous State of Ohio is just made up of farm fi elds and politics, but in the quiet city of Columbus is a major money market in the criminal underworld where every drug from Mexican marijuana to Afgan heroin fl oods the economy on a monthly basis. And every small time hustler to every international dealer wants a piece of the pie. For Sizalino and his notorious mentor Michael Pettway, they’re looking to control it all, forming an outfi t similar to the mythical mafi a’s ‘Commission’, called the West Side Firm; teaming up with the most powerful heads of the East and North Side, creating a conglomerate organization stretching all the way down to South Florida and into South America. With the connection to Emmanuelle Mendez, a close associate to the Columbian Godmother, they go on an unstoppable path to obtaining the ultimate American Dream of money, power, and respect. By any means necessary! Overnight their success becomes legendary. Th ey quickly create a takeover like no one in Ohio has ever done or ever seen. But with success comes hate and envy, from everyone tojealous locals, to local State and Federal Law Enforcement Offi cials. And that envious attention comes crashing down right when the Commission hits the peak of its success. Everyone from the Law to bitter rivals begin to try and attack and penetrate their concrete wall of solid structure and silence. Sizalino feels the heat, and tries to take his business mind and savvy in a diff erent direction for the benefi t of his related family and the foundation of their future. But his Mentor, Mike P., and the Commission, have other plans for him. And they’re not the only ones. Will Sizalino make it out? Will the Commission and its Firms survive the storm and the war against them, threatening to cripple and destroy their organization? Th ey say for hustlers that the American Dream has two faces; an American Dream and an American Nightmare! What will Sizalino’s American Fate be?
