To accomplish this, he handpicked a group of his citizens and commissioned them to carry the nature, culture, language, prosperity, values, and influence of his kingdom into that foreign…
One of the most fascinating things I noticed during the recently concluded World Cup was the endless debate surrounding two of football’s greatest icons: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The film presents a society divided into two worlds: New Greenwich, where the wealthy possess virtually unlimited time, and Dayton, where the poor live from one day to the next. In this world, time…
