Cinema Wednesdays<\/a> - Kelly Lambiel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An atypical trio, a few miles to cover (on the water, of course) and a dream to realize. That's the almost perfect definition of a road movie<\/em> as we love them. An ode to freedom, The Peanut Butter Falcon<\/em> probably won't go down in cinema history, but it has what it takes to earn a place in people's hearts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Individual and Society<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
