Tempest Runner / by Scott, Cavan,author.;

Delve into the cutthroat world of one of the High Republic's greatest foes, the merciless Lourna Dee, in this full script for the Star Wars audio original Tempest Runner. The Nihil storm has raged through the galaxy, leaving chaos and grief in its wake. Few of its raiders are as vicious as the Tempest Runner Lourna Dee. She stays one step ahead of the Jedi Order at the helm of a vessel named after one of the deadliest monsters in the galaxy: herself. But no one can outrun the defenders of the High Republic forever. After the defeat of her crew, Lourna falls into the hands of the Jedi--but not before she hides her identity, becoming just another Nihil convict. Her captors fail to understand the beast they have cornered. Just like every fool she's ever buried, their first mistake was keeping her alive. Lourna is determined to make underestimating her their last. Locked up on a Republic correctional ship, she's dragged across the galaxy to repair the very damage she and her fellow Tempest Runners inflicted. But as Lourna plans her glorious escape, she makes alliances that grow dangerously close to friendships. Outside the Nihil--separated from her infamous ship, her terrifying arsenal, and her feared name--Lourna must carve her own path. But will it lead to redemption? Or will she emerge as a deadlier threat than ever before?

Incorrigible [videorecording] : a film about Velma Demerson / by Lee, Karin,1960-film director.; McIntyre Media,film distributor.;

Gemini award winning filmmaker Karin Lee tells the heartbreaking and poignant story of Velma Demerson who was arrested under the Ontario Female Refuges Act (1897-1964) and incarcerated for falling in love with a Chinese man in 1938 at the age of 18 in Toronto, Canada. Pregnant and without legal counsel, Velma was sentenced to one year in prison where she was tortured by the prison's eugenicist doctor who attempted to abort her child. 60 years later Velma attempted to sue the Ontario provincial government for wrongful incarceration. She and paralegal activist Harry Kopyto worked to solve the puzzle of how to sue the government for a case which was past the limitation period. Velma was finally vindicated and won her case in 2003 at the age of 83. This is the story of an ordinary young woman who did nothing wrong, except to fall in love with a man of a different race. It is a story of how institutional racism ruined the lives of two young people in love and destroyed the possibility of their having a happy and healthy family. Most important, it is the inspirational story of a woman who fought back for decades to get justice and won. Velma never stopped trying to get justice for all the women arrested under the Female Refuges Act, and actively lobbied the government, until her death in 2019, to apologize to all women who were wrongly incarcerated. The message in this film to these women and their families is that "they did nothing wrong and it's not their fault."E.DVD.

The final deception / by Graham, Heather,author.;

"How do you confront a threat that is hiding in plain sight? FBI agent Craig Frasier and psychologist Kieran Finnegan hunt an escaped serial killer in the latest explosive thriller in the New York Confidential series. It was one of Kieran's most chilling cases: her assessment of a murderer known as the Fireman. There was no doubt that the man needed to be locked away. Now Craig is called to a gruesome crime scene that matches the killer's methods, and news breaks that the Fireman has escaped prison. Amid a citywide manhunt, Kieran and Craig need to untangle a web of deceit, privilege and greed. They suspect that those closest to the killer have been drawn into his evil, or else someone is using another man's madness and cruelty to disguise their crimes. When their investigation brings the danger right to the doorstep of Finnegan's Pub, Kieran and Craig will have to be smarter and bolder than ever before, because this time it's personal, and they have everything to lose"--
