“Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken,” a docuseries focusing on bonds the singer forms with incarcerated women over addiction issues that have affected their lives, will hit Paramount+ later this year, the network announced Thursday.
The two-part series will follow Etheridge as she writes a new song inspired by her communication with five women locked up at a prison in her Kansas hometown, the Topeka Correctional Facility. The anthem she writes for them is inspired by letters coming from the prisoners discussing their issues with substance abuse, among the other things that brought them there — a topic that Etheridge is fully engaged on, having lost her son to opioids in a headline-making tragedy four years ago.
“I’m excited for audiences to join me on this powerful journey and hear these remarkable stories filled with pain and struggle but also hope and healing,” Etheridge said in a statement. “I hope...

I still remember the first time I saw director Edward Zwick‘s 1989 Civil War drama Glory in theaters. I remember being completely in awe of this film. I loved it and to this day, it’s still one of my all time favorite films.
It’s hard to believe that the movie is turning 30 years old this year and to celebrate, Fathom Events, Sony Pictures, and Turner Classic Movies, have teamed up for a screening event that will take place in 600 movie screens around the U.S. for two days. These screenings will feature pre- and post-film commentary that dives deeper into the production.
The movie starred Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, Andre Braugher and Jihmi Kennedy and I’ll never forget Denzel Washington’s powerful performance in the film, which ended up winning him an Oscar. The film also included a stunning score by the late James Horner.

Denzel Washington received his first Academy Award – as Best Supporting Actor – for his intense and compassionate performance as Pvt. Trip, a former slave who volunteers to be part of the 54th Massachusetts, a Union regiment comprised of black soldiers. Director Edward Zwick’s visually stunning, meticulously crafted epic stars Matthew Broderick as Col. Robert Gould Shaw, who assumes command of the regiment – which by law could only be led by a white man. Starring Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, Andre Braugher and Jihmi Kennedy (from a screenplay by Kevin Jarre), Glory remains one of the most intelligent and gripping movies ever made about the American Civil War, and is a testament to enormous courage and bravery.
This cinematic presentation of Glory commemorates the film’s 30th anniversary – and also the 156th anniversary of the Second Battle Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863, which is the awesome and fearful backdrop for the film’s climax.
