One of the few bright lights in True's life is his girlfriend, Ali (Auden Thornton), and even she can't fill the emotional void he has inside. However, True's personal trials are just a prologue for his time in the wild. In the brutal cold of winter, True may lose more than just his way as his extremities freeze and his chances of rescue look remote. Broke is streaming on Netflix.

'Devo' (2025) If you grew up in the '80s or later, then you most likely know Devo from their most famous song, "Whip It," as well as the ridiculous red flowerpot hats they wore during that time. What you may not know is that Devo's presentation was a form of protest performance art that dates back to the Kent State Massacre in 1973. The Devo documentary examines the history of the band that was so audacious in its early years, they pretended to be a fake Christian rock band as their own opening act. In this documentary, Bob Lewis, Gerald Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh and the rest of Devo's founding members share their stories and the philosophy that shaped their entire approach to music.
