A world without algorithms meant that life wasn’t curated; it was lived.

Reagan: A Tribute to the Great American Orator

ShowBiz Direct’s Reagan likely won’t be the final attempt at a Ronald Reagan docudrama that wows audiences and critics through piercing character development or "deep track" speeches.

For example, Brazilian surfer Joao Chianca was prohibited from using a surfboard that showed an image of Christ. Despite this limitation, some athletes found creative ways to thank God during the tournament. These women credited their Olympic success to God.
