Nicki Minaj: Queen of Rap
An innovator in switching from Perky Pop Princess to Gritty Gangsta Rapper with ease, Nicki Minaj has risen to stardom. In a genre where men dominate the uppermost echelons and only one woman typically thrives at a time, being at the top is lonely. Nicki Minaj has indelibly changed the landscape for artists in hip hop for the past decade, showing a complex visage: the ferocious emcee who's just as comfortable being the girl next door, glammed up Barbie doll, or rambunctious alter ego Roman Zolanski. Throughout her many incarnations, the tenacity and hunger that fuelled her ascendance to the top have not changed. Even at the top of hip hop, her passion for being the best remains the same. Her lyrical prowess and razor-sharp flow is undeniable. She vacillates seamlessly between rap and singing. With her witty and dramatic style, the verses she writes turn into verses that you play on repeat to catch the subtle double and triple entendre. Her verses are fierce, hilarious, bombastic and deadly serious, often all bundled together in one. She wanted the throne; now that she has it, she isn't giving it up easily. She is the Queen of Rap. She is Nicki Minaj.

Searching for Sasquatch
Jason Kenzie ventures into the deep dark forests of British Columbia Canada searching for the legendary creature known as Sasquatch. Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, in Canadian folklore and American folklore, is an ape-like creature that is reported to inhabit the forests of North America. Supposed evidence of Bigfoot's existence is based on a number of disputed video recordings, audio recordings, photographs, visual sightings, casts of large footprints, etc. Some of these are speculated or known to be hoaxes. Folklorists trace the figure of Bigfoot to a combination of factors and sources, including folklore surrounding the European wild man figure, folk belief among Native Americans and loggers, and a cultural increase in environmental concerns. Within the fringe subculture of cryptozoology, Bigfoot is considered a cryptid, however, the majority of mainstream scientists have historically discounted the existence of Bigfoot, considering it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax, rather than a living animal.

Alien Abduction: Answers
The silence of a hot summer evening is shattered by the crash of something falling down a wooden stairwell followed by the wailing of a young boy. His parents can hardly make our his terrifying account of someone...something upstairs that had touched him on the shoulder and threw him down the stairs. His father, exhausted from a double shift at the steel mill, loudly clambered up the steps to investigate while the boy's mother comforted her son and asked if he was hurt. Upon a cursory exam of the rooms, the father appeared at the landing brusquely saying that it was nothing and no one was in the house. A day or so later, a very distinct, raised mark was discovered on the boy's shoulder. A medical exam was inconclusive. The boy was told to lie about the mark and how he had received it. He lied about it for over 45 years. He kept the fear of that night, the shame of his father's dismissal of his account, and the memory of that almond-eyed visitor locked tight in his mind. The boy grew into a perfectly normal man who lived in a normal house, with his normal wife and children - except for his obsessive preoccupation with home security, paralyzing fear of open skies or deep water, and his abiding sense that he was being watched. With the help of some very good and open-minded friends, he finally came to terms with his memories and the truth that he had a Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind. But there was something missing; something that was just out of his reach. He could not remember how he got to the top of those stairs, why had the entity touched him, why was he 'marked', and what did it all mean? This documentary follows him as he discovers that there are literally hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life and all over the globe who have experienced something similar - he is not alone. We witness his encounter as a boy and through a technique called Quantum Hypnotherapy we 'sit-in' while a highly skilled therapist with over 40 years of experience guide him back to that Summer evening; we cheer him as he masters his fear, and we finally discover what really happened that night. Where did he go? What did he learn? What can he share with the rest of us? What will YOU do when you know the truth? This. Is. Happening. - Learn to overcome your fear and get: Answers to Alien Abduction.
