Another adaptation of Macbeth? Why do we need it? This may be the principal perspective of the majority as they, with some hesitance, head into theaters to watch Joel Coen’s first film without his brother, an adaptation of The Tragedy of Macbeth. However, I assure you that Cohen’s idea to adapt this again is valid, because the unique filmmaking sensibilities that he brings to the table ensure that this is a Shakespearan adaptation unlike any other.

Suzee: Tell me what this documentary is about.
Carole Lowe: Well, it's about the amazing fans of the supernatural/western series Wynonna Earp! This fandom is simply amazing with their support of the show and the cast. Over the past few years they have purchased hundreds of billboards in Time Square, which they live streamed to fans around the world to promote the series and help secure a forth season. They raised hundreds of thousands in the name of the series to support non-profits, started sold out Earper Conventions around the world which hosted cast members, and have supported each other in astonishing ways.
