They decide amongst their terrible ordeal, and having a friend get injured in the hurricane, that they wanted to do something to help their community! So they got their parents involved, used their bikes and wagons and camped out at a local church and they gave out "hugz" in exchange for anything, any donation for the families who lost everything, food, clothes, money! It grows into a huge event, and they get satisfaction in showing kids that your morality and values, they count! Your heart and efforts, no matter your age, matters and you can, as a kid, make a difference!

Newly re-mastered in HD! The Hurricane is one of the most spectacular productions of the 1930s directed by the legendary John Ford (The Searchers). An intolerant Governor (Raymond Massey, Arsenic and Old Lace) sets off a series of tragic events in an idyllic Pacific paradise, disrupting the peaceful lives of newlywed islanders Terangi (John Hall, Arabian Nights) and Marama (Dorothy Lamour, My Favorite Brunette). Terangi is wrongly imprisoned by racist officials and after many failed escape attempts, additional years are added to original his six month jail term. Terangi finally succeeds and returns to Marama after a long absence, but only to be confronted with one of the most savage natural disasters to ever hit the island. The devastating hurricane was created by special effects wizard, James Basevi (San Francisco), who used enormous wind machines along with elaborate network of pipes and holding tanks to destroy the native village he had built. Ford acknowledged that assistant director Stuart Heisler (The Glass Key) was the driving force behind The Hurricane, and together they created a highly enjoyable film that stands as a landmark of Hollywood disaster films. The amazing cast includes Mary Astor, C. Aubrey Smith, Thomas Mitchell, John Carradine and Jerome Cowan.Audio Commentary by Film Historian Joseph McBride, the author of Searching For John Ford: A Life | Original Theatrical Trailer

The Hurricane’s Eye is a story about Owen, who, seeking to flee his past, stows away on the indestructible pirate ship, the Hurricane’s Eye. The crew’s hatred for him has made it impossible to join them, until he and the captain meet Minerva, a magical woman who gives Owen a tattoo of a dragon on his arm. Owen discovers that the dragon, whose tattoo he has on his arm, attached to his soul before he was born and has been living dormant in him. The tattoo and his presence on the Hurricane’s Eye awaken the dragon’s soul and Owen suddenly finds himself at the heart of a decades-old search for the dragon’s soul mate, and ultimately his soul mate, the phoenix. While battling the dragon over control of his own body, Owen and the crew of the Hurricane’s Eye must overcome all odds, search the seas, and return the Phoenix’s still-beating heart to her human host and complete her soul before the crew on the ship Hell Hound find it.
