Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. The 12 brave men Jesus picked to spread the word of his resurrection and of the one God were regular men, fishermen, brothers, husbands and fathers, tax collectors- men who knew Jesus and had seen his deeds and believed in him. They were given the mission to spread the word across the known world- a world filled with non-believers and ruthless leaders. No Roman in those years would have believed that within 350 years Rome would lead in following the teachings of Jesus and his disciples or that by the year 2024 1/3 of civilization would be practicing Christianity. But the 12 Apostles and those who followed succeeded in changing the world. Most of them were murdered, martyred to discourage others, but they all had made their mark. This is the story and legend of Jesus's 12 Apostles and their mission to save the world from itself.

Shark attacks have been steadily on the increase for the past few years, and many people believe that this increase is due to federal and state laws limiting catches and protecting predator species like the Great White and the Bull Shark. Environmentalists are fighting against nets that protect swimmers but catch marine life and fighting any efforts to cull certain shark populations, going so far as to say that with 5 billion humans alive, and only 5,000 Great Whites, we can afford to loose a few more human lives. Two opposing groups have formed- those who want to save human lives and those who want to save the sharks - hence the title "US vs. THEM".

Annie Oakley was a 5 foot tall American sharpshooter who overcame a very hard childhood to become an international celebrity traveling with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. She developed her skills early as a child hunting and trapping with her father until he died and she was indentured to a cruel family in Ohio which she later referred to as human wolves.

"Tom Horn: The True Story of a Western Legend": He was the man who Geronimo trusted and respected enough to arrange his surrender to Gatewood and Miles. He was there when Ed Schefflin discovered a rich load of gold and gave Tombstone its name. In his life he was a scout and interpreter for the US Cavalry, a Pinkerton Detective, a Sheriff, a Rancher, and a bounty hunter for the Wyoming Cattleman's Association. As a bounty hunter, he was a man crime deterrent against rustlers, but in 1901 his kill for hire work made him a perfect foil for a set-up, and he was framed for the killing of a 14 year old boy. This is his story, along with the story of the American West in its heyday. Song Tom Horn Courtesy of Micael hurwotz and the Aimless Drifters.

After conquering all of Asia and Europe from China's coast to France, Attila The Hun had amassed an incredible treasure of gold, silver, and artifacts- enough treasure that it required an atmy just to protect it. When he died in 453 AD, according to one account, he was interred in three coffins- an outer one of lead, a middle one of silver, and an inner one of gold. His huge treasure, which is thought to be priceless, has never been found, although it is still searched for today. This is the story of Attila the Hun and the search for his missing gold.
