You can check it out in the embed above.

40 Acres marks the feature directorial debut of R.T. Thorne, who also wrote the screenplay with Glenn Taylor from a story by Lora Campbell. The film has the following synopsis: After a plague eradicates all animal life, famine spreads across the globe leaving society at war and in ruins, but the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on their ancestral farm so long as they dispatch the occasional raiding party. But what good is surviving the end of the world if it means snuffing out your own humanity? Former soldier Hailey made that choice years ago, believing that isolation was...

40 Acres starts at the Freeman farm. An assault on the farm and its occupants is about to occur, but a small, mighty group manages to stop the assailants and ensure they never return. Here, we meet Hailey (Danielle Deadwyler), a former soldier who has trained her family, which comprises her partner Galen (Michael Greyeyes) and their four children, the oldest of whom is her son Emmanuel (Kateem O'Connor). The Freemans hold firm to their values, protecting their land, training to survive, and never forgetting their respective history as a blended Black and Indigenous family.

This year, Hallmark added two new Christmas in July originals.

While some have difficulty getting into the spirit while it's warm and sunny outside, this was the ideal film to transport you to the snowy mountains near a small town.

Falling like Snowflakes includes all of that. While it was about finding a rare snowflake, it symbolized how rare certain relationships were.

Falling Like Snowflakes felt like coming home. Small towns always have beautiful art galleries to peek into, but seeing 34 snowflakes on display was breathtaking.

It's that little attention to detail that makes you feel special. Since this was a Christmas in July special, there's a good chance this was filmed during the winter when snow was on the ground, making it look more realistic.

The Christmas Break

(Premieres Tonight,...

Peyton (Amber Marshall) and Trevor (Ben Mehl) may start off on the wrong foot in My Christmas Guide, but as TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the November 2 movie shows, they quickly recover. Trevor visits the Best Friend Guide Dogs Training Center, where Peyton works, with his daughter Annie (Ava Weiss). “You wouldn’t happen to be the person who left some information on guide dogs at my daughter’s school, would you?” Trevor asks Peyton after she approaches them. She was. As she explains, “I was out training one of our dogs and I saw you and thought maybe we could help.” However, Trevor’s not exactly happy. “Thank you for being so presumptuous,” he tells her. “Because of that, my daughter insisted that we come here today.” But Annie thinks they’re right where they need to be. “My dad needs a guide dog — bad,” she says.
