It’s an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.And Grayson has gone missing.No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.Ingrid is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.

The Dispossessed
George Ballis
The Dispossessed was the winner of the 1971 “Grand Award” at the Foothill Film Festival. It is a brilliant film and a must for anyone who is preoccupied with the death-producing consequences of monopoly capitalism and the life-generating qualities of the new Indian resistance. Next year, I plan to show the film in a course on the subject of political anthropology. - SHELTON H. DAVIS
