The last of the Jacobite wars took place on Culloden Moor, Scotland, on the sixteenth of April 1746, leaving a bloody path of devastation, and leaving 1,500 Jacobites dead or dying on the windswept moor in less than an hour. The clans, left without their chief, or protector, were forced to endure royal persecution, murder, starvation, with the homeless compelled to live on the open moors. Driven to desperation, the Highlanders must leave their beloved land if they were to survive. Many believed that if there was freedom to be had, it would be found in the vast wilderness of North Carolina. To escape persecution from the English victors, fourteen-year-old Catriona "Caty" Maclean and her family board ship in 1749 to begin the perilous journey from the Isle of Mull, across turbulent seas, to a new land. Death and destruction follow. On the farm in Cross Creek, North Carolina, Caty finds life intolerable. To wake up every day to backbreaking work, to watch helpless loved ones dying of the fevers almost cost her her own life. It is Caty's independent spirit and strong will, in the end, that keep her alive and capture the love of two men, one whose love will transcend the boundaries of time. There are decisions to be made. Hard decisions. Decisions that will determine the course of Caty's life. A destination that will transport her to a new beginning. A new venture. Caty Maclean is the first book in the Family Saga Series.

Only a few years after the 2013 Sundance Film Festival premiere of Blackfish - an independent documentary film that critiqued the treatment of orcas in captivity - visits to SeaWorld declined, major corporate sponsors pulled their support, and performing acts canceled appearances. The steady drumbeat of public criticism, negative media coverage, and unrelenting activism became known as the "Blackfish Effect." In 2016, SeaWorld announced a stunning corporate policy change - the end of its profitable orca shows. In an evolving networked era, social-issue documentaries like Blackfish are art for civic imagination and social critique. Today's documentaries interrogate topics like sexual assault in the U.S. military (The Invisible War), racial injustice (13th), government surveillance (Citizenfour), and more. Artistic nonfiction films are changing public conversations, influencing media agendas, mobilizing communities, and capturing the attention of policymakers - accessed by expanding audiences in a transforming media marketplace. In Story Movements: How Documentaries Empower People and Inspire Social Change, producer and scholar Caty Borum Chattoo explores how documentaries disrupt dominant cultural narratives through complex, creative, often investigative storytelling. Featuring original interviews with award-winning documentary filmmakers and field leaders, the book reveals the influence and motivations behind the vibrant, eye-opening stories of the contemporary documentary age.
