Pants On Fire is about Brad Spoofer, a pathological liar on a quest for glory. Brad moves to LA to become a movie star. His Hollywood career, however, is a dismal failure. He’s been telling his naïve friends back home that he’s a movie star whose blockbusters are all about to be released in theaters. When his buddies d...ecide to surprise him with a road trip to LA, he has to scramble to prop up the illusion. Luckily, he scores a house-sitting gig for a wealthy couple in Bel Air and is able to keep the lie going, until he claims to be friends with the guy who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite.

As his lies multiply and his checks bounce, he has to dodge thugs, woo the girl, keep his job and, somehow, deliver Pedro.

On June 18, 1964 a white hotel owner in St. Augustine, Florida, poured acid in a swimming pool filled with black and white youth conducting a civil rights demonstration. Photographs of this horrific incident were on the front page of every major newspaper around the world and broke the filibuster in the Senate allowing... President Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Act into law. With rarely seen news footage and revealing interviews, “Dare Not Walk Alone” uncovers the untold story of the St. Augustine movement that led to this historic legislation.

This film has been called the "Civil Rights film for the modern age" and in the end we see signs of hope and reconciliation as well as a challenge to take the next step forward.
