If you have ever heard of "Winx Club", the animated children's television show about a group of fairies, especially a girl named Bloom who discovers she is a powerful fairy who was found on Earth, then this show very slightly based on it with more of a "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" and "Riverdale" vibe to it. Bloom is starting her first semester at Alfea College, the college for fairies but there are more secret beneath the truth of the school, along with drama of her suite-mates, Musa (controls the mind), Terra (controls Earth), Aisha (controls water), and Stella (controls the sun and princess of Solaria).

Based on a true story, a group of eight defendants, charged with the conspiracy to incite violence during the 1968 Democratic Convention, fought their way to help change the system and to show that the government of the United States is much more biased than we believe it is. The eight defendants were Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin (head of the Youth International Party, better known as the Yippies), David Dellinger (leading part in the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam), Tom Hayden and John Froines (part of the organization ("Students for a Democratic Society"), Lee Weiner (also part of the Students for a Democratic Society), Rennie Davis (notable anti-war activist), and Bobby Seale (the head of the Black Panthers). These men helped to change the court and highlight how biased the government really is. This video is all about Black Lives Matter and the injustice in our law enforcement system then and now.

He takes the last year of his life and guides himself through a long journey involving falling in love, making an album to chase his dreams, and tackling his condition as something that is not a part of him but instead, his cancer is something that is just there. Justin Baldoni, star of Jane the Virgin and director of Five Feet Apart and director of documentary series "My Last Days", takes on Sobeich's story in the most honest and raw way possible. He takes plenty of advice from Zach's family, knowing Zach from meeting him in 2013 from an episode of "My Last Days. This story is to say the least, inspirational and with so much love.
