http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/massachusetts-nfb_nfbnet.org/sandraburgess%40msn.com hi Shirley,
 
I have not attempted to register yet because I am making sure first that the people in the Springfield area will be able to stay long enough to do that tour. Usually our bus leaves around 1230 to go back home. I am pretty confident I can help you with the form to register, so please send me an email if you would like me to do that and include a phone number so I can be on my computer and on the phone with you at the same time.
 
  
 
  
 
Best,
 
  
 
Sandy Burgess

Osage Nation elders bury a ceremonial pipe, mourning their descendants'
 
assimilation into White American society. Wandering through their Oklahoma
 
reservation, during the annual "flower moon" phenomenon of fields of
 
blooms,[14] several Osage find oil gushing from the ground. The tribe
 
becomes wealthy, as it retains mineral rights and members share in oil-lease
 
revenues, though law requires white court-appointed legal guardians to
 
manage the money of full and half-blood members, assuming them
 
"incompetent".[b]
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
In 1919, Ernest Burkhart returns from World War I to live with his brother
 
Byron and uncle William King Hale on Hale's large reservation ranch. Hale, a
 
reserve deputy sheriff and cattle rancher, poses as a friendly benefactor of
 
the Osage, speaking their language and bestowing gifts. Ernest and Byron
 
commit armed robbery against the Osage. Ernest meets Mollie Kyle, an Osage
 
whose family owns oil headrights, via his day job as a cab driver. A romance
 
develops, and the two marry in a ceremony mixing Roman Catholic and Osage
 
traditions. Over time, they raise three children.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Hale secretly orders the contract killings of multiple wealthy Osage. He
 
explains that Ernest will inherit more headrights if more of Mollie's family
 
dies. Mollie is diabetic, and her mother Lizzie is ill. After Mollie's
 
sister Minnie dies of a mysterious illness, Hale orders Byron to kill
 
Mollie's other sister, the rebellious Anna. Lizzie and the Osage council
 
blame the reservation's white residents and urge the tribe to fight back.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
A newsreel of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, in which white people destroyed
 
a black community and killed numerous residents, causes further concern
 
amongst the Osage that they could suffer similarly. Lizzie sees her
 
ancestors welcome her to the afterlife as she dies. Hale orders Ernest to
 
arrange the murder of Henry Roan, Mollie's first husband. However, Ernest
 
botches the assassination and Hale paddles him inside a Masonic Temple as
 
punishment.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Since Hale is the local political boss, and both the local sheriff and
 
judges are in his pocket, no investigations are made. An Osage Nation
 
representative seeking to lobby Congress is murdered in Washington, D.C.,
 
while private detective William J. Burns, who was discreetly hired by
 
Mollie, is attacked by Ernest and Byron, who run him off of the reservation.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Hale orders Ernest to murder Mollie's last surviving sister Reta and her
 
husband Bill by having criminal Acie Kirby blow up their house. As the last
 
surviving member of her family, Mollie inherits their headrights. Despite
 
her illness, she travels to Washington with an Osage delegation and asks
 
President Calvin Coolidge for help. Because of this, Hale orders Ernest to
 
poison Mollie's insulin to "slow her down". Mollie's condition worsens, and
 
Ernest exhibits similar symptoms after ingesting the poison himself.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Due to Mollie's lobbying, the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) sends Agent
 
Thomas Bruce White Sr. and assistants to investigate; they quickly discover
 
the truth. Hale tries to cover his tracks by murdering his own hitmen,
 
including Acie, but White arrests Hale and Ernest. While Ernest is being
 
interrogated, two agents are sent to question Mollie and find her near
 
death. They rush her to the hospital where the doctors discover that she has
 
been repeatedly poisoned and quickly notify White and the other agents.
 
Mollie recovers under the care of the staff.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
White persuades Ernest to confess and turn state's evidence against his
 
uncle. W. S. Hamilton, Hale's attorney, tries to convince Ernest to claim he
 
was tortured and recant. However, after one of his daughters dies of
 
whooping cough, Ernest testifies against his uncle, wanting to be around for
 
his remaining family. Hale unsuccessfully tries to have his nephew murdered.
 
Mollie meets with Ernest after he testifies, and leaves him after he refuses
 
to admit to poisoning her.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
A radio drama years later reveals the aftermath: Ernest and Hale were
 
convicted and received life sentences. Both were paroled after years of
 
incarceration, despite Osage protests to the parole board. Byron served no
 
prison time due to a hung jury.[c] The Shoun brothers, who gave Ernest the
 
poison for Mollie and were implicated in other "wasting deaths", were never
 
prosecuted due to lack of evidence. Mollie divorced Ernest, married a man
 
named John Cobb, and died of diabetes in 1937 at the age of 50. She was
 
buried with her parents, sisters and daughter. Her obituary did not mention
 
the Osage murders. The film closes with an overhead view of a 21st-century
 
Osage powwow dancing circle.

Banker Sam Wheat and his girlfriend, artist Molly Jensen, renovate and move
 
into a Manhattan loft with the help of Sam's friend and co-worker Carl
 
Bruner. One night, after attending the theater with Molly, Sam is killed
 
when a mugger tries to steal his wallet. Sam is shocked to realize he is a
 
ghost, but when angels appear to take his soul to Heaven, he returns to
 
Molly.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Weeks later, in an effort to raise her spirits, Carl takes Molly for a walk.
 
When the mugger enters their apartment in search of something a few minutes
 
later, Sam scares their cat into attacking him and he flees. Sam follows the
 
mugger, Willie Lopez, back to his apartment, and learns that the mugging was
 
planned when Willie makes a call to an unknown person. He promises to return
 
to Sam and Molly's apartment to continue looking for what he came for.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
After leaving Willie's apartment, Sam comes across charlatan Oda Mae Brown's
 
psychic reading parlor, where she works with her sisters. When Oda Mae hears
 
Sam's voice, she realizes she must have inherited her mother's true psychic
 
gift. Sam pesters Oda Mae by singing to her all night until she agrees to
 
tell Molly about Willie. Molly goes to the police, who have no criminal file
 
for Willie Lopez but they show her Oda Mae's lengthy record that includes
 
fraud charges and several aliases, leaving Molly disheartened.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Sam eventually discovers it was Carl who had Willie attack him to obtain his
 
book of bank passwords, in order to transfer laundered money for drug
 
dealers into one account under the fictitious name "Rita Miller". Determined
 
to protect Molly, Sam enlists the help of a poltergeist haunting the New
 
York City subway to teach him how to move physical objects. Afterwards, Sam
 
convinces Oda Mae to pose as "Rita Miller" and withdraw the money, which he
 
has her give to charity. Sam starts to haunt Carl, who becomes frantic to
 
find the money once he realizes it has been withdrawn. Carl visits Molly and
 
learns that Oda Mae was the person who initiated the withdrawal.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Sam warns Oda Mae and her sisters and instructs them to hide just before
 
Carl and Willie arrive. Sam terrorizes Willie until he runs screaming into
 
the street and is killed after being struck by a car. As Carl flees, demons
 
drag Willie's soul to Hell.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Sam and Oda Mae return to his apartment, where Sam levitates a penny towards
 
Molly to confirm his presence. After Molly calls the police, Oda Mae lets
 
Sam possess her body and he slow-dances with Molly, unaware that using her
 
body saps his energy. Carl forces his way into Molly's apartment while she
 
and Oda Mae flee upstairs. Carl holds Molly at gunpoint and demands the
 
money Oda Mae withdrew from the bank. Sam, now recovered, frees her and
 
pushes a heavy scaffold onto Carl, crippling him. In desperation, Carl
 
swings a metal hook at Sam before trying to escape through a window. The
 
hook swings back, shattering the window pane which slides down and fatally
 
impales Carl in the chest. The demons that took Willie's soul return to take
 
Carl's soul to Hell.

Stereotypical Barbie ("Barbie") and fellow dolls reside in Barbieland, a
 
matriarchal society populated by different versions of Barbies, Kens, and a
 
group of discontinued models who are treated like outcasts due to their
 
unconventional traits. While the Kens spend their days playing at the beach,
 
considering it their profession, the Barbies hold prestigious jobs in
 
science, politics, media, and so on. Beach Ken ("Ken") is only happy when he
 
is with Barbie, and seeks a closer relationship, but she rebuffs him in
 
favor of other activities and female friendships.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
One evening at a dance party, Barbie is suddenly stricken with worries about
 
mortality. Overnight, she develops bad breath, cellulite, and flat feet,
 
disrupting her usual routines the next day. She seeks out Weird Barbie, a
 
disfigured doll, who tells her she must find the child playing with her in
 
the real world to cure her afflictions. Ken stows away in her convertible to
 
join her, to which Barbie reluctantly agrees.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Arriving at Venice Beach, Barbie punches a man for groping her, leading to
 
her and Ken's brief arrest. Alarmed by their presence, Mattel's CEO orders
 
their recapture. Barbie tracks down her owner, a teenage girl named Sasha,
 
who criticizes her for encouraging unrealistic beauty standards. Distraught,
 
Barbie discovers that Gloria, a Mattel employee and Sasha's mother,
 
inadvertently caused her existential crisis after Gloria began playing with
 
Sasha's old Barbie toys. Mattel attempts to put Barbie in a toy box for
 
remanufacturing, but she escapes with Gloria and Sasha's help and the three
 
travel to Barbieland with Mattel executives in pursuit.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Meanwhile, Ken learns about patriarchy and feels respected for the first
 
time. Returning to Barbieland before Barbie does, he persuades the other
 
Kens to take over, and the Barbies are indoctrinated into submissive roles,
 
such as agreeable girlfriends, housewives, and maids. Barbie arrives and
 
fails to convince everyone to return to the way things were. She becomes
 
depressed, but Gloria gives her a speech about society's conflicting
 
expectations of women, restoring Barbie's self-confidence.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
With the assistance of Sasha, Weird Barbie, Allan, and the discontinued
 
dolls, Gloria's speech deprograms the Barbies from their indoctrination.
 
They then manipulate the Kens into fighting among themselves, distracting
 
them from enshrining male superiority into Barbieland's constitution, and
 
the Barbies regain power. Having now experienced systemic oppression for
 
themselves, the Barbies resolve to rectify the faults of their previous
 
society, emphasizing better treatment of the Kens and all outcasts.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Barbie and Ken apologize to each other, acknowledging their mistakes. Ken
 
bemoans his lack of purpose without Barbie, so she encourages him to find an
 
autonomous identity. Barbie, who remains unsure of her own identity, meets
 
with the spirit of Ruth Handler, Mattel co-founder and creator of the Barbie
 
doll, who explains that Barbie's story has no set ending and her
 
ever-evolving history surpasses her roots.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Barbie decides to become human and return to the real world, and is bidden
 
goodbye by the Barbies, Kens, and Mattel executives. Sometime later, Gloria,
 
her husband, and Sasha take Barbie, now going by the name "Barbara Handler",
 
to her first gynecologist appointment.
