Today the world watched in awe as the famous dream of Martin Luther King Jr. officially came true. And that dream was ultimately about liberty and equality of opportunity for all people. After many challenges and 45 years in the making, we are now closer than ever to fulfilling these ideals, the pillars of modern democracy.

It is also today that this site goes live, likewise to promote a dream. ESCAPE from HOLLYWOOD’s vision is to exercise our right to free speech by encouraging open discussion of the art, foreign, and independent cinema niches among readers worldwide. This site will aspire to become a “go-to” resource for those moviegoers whose films are not “coming soon to a theater near you” and are generally not carried by the likes of Blockbuster and Barnes & Noble.
