Stephen Amell vs. Stardust
When Arrow television star Stephen Amell fought WWE’s Stardust at the pro wrestling promotion’s marquee Summerslam event there was a winner that wasn’t in the ring — a hospice called Emily’s House.

To find out more about Emily’s House and why Amell and Stardust went out of their way to help it read my full story about it for Samaritan Mag.

Where To Invade Next
Sarah was on assignment covering the 2015 Toronto Film Festival this year for Consequence Of Sound.
Michael Moore’s new return-to-form film Where To Invade Next premiered at the fest and it was “a very good op-ed in favor of America’s ability to live up to its potential and build itself into a country that actually represents the idea of liberty and equality that it’s espoused for so long.”
