MUNDOFOX TO PREMIERE CAPTIVATING NEW SERIES LA GUERRERA

MONDAY, JUNE 8 AT 9PM/8C


LA GUERRERA VERTICAL KEY ARTA moving tale of courage and resilience, 

LA GUERRERA showcases the harsh reality experienced globally by millions of women who fall victim to human trafficking.

MundoFox announced the primetime premiere of the internationally acclaimed telenovela La Guerrera (Brave Woman). The moving story, which follows one woman’s struggle against injustice and her fight for love and freedom, will air exclusively on MundoFox Monday through Friday at 9PM/8C starting Monday, June 8.

Written by Glória Perez (El Clon) and starring Brazilian superstars Nanda Costa, Rodrigo Lombardi and Claudia Raia, La Guerrera tells the story of Morena (Costa), a tough, yet humble woman, who in search of a better future, accepts an offer to work abroad.  Her decision, not only ends her engagement to Théo (Lombardi), but also leads her to unsuspectingly fall victim to a human trafficking ring.   Morena, alongside the other female victims, is forced to work at a nightclub, where she is held captive by the threat of harm to her family back home.  Morena refuses to accept her fate and will stop at nothing to protect her family, escape her captors and regain the love of Théo.

Filmed in Brazil and Turkey and produced by Brazil’s GloboTV, La Guerrera showcases the harsh reality experienced globally by millions of women who fall victim to human trafficking.

To engage viewers in the conversation, MundoFox invites the audiences to share their own individual struggles via social media using the hashtag #SoyUnaGuerrera (I am a warrior) with the answer to the question ¿Por qué luchas tú? (What do you fight for?).

Additionally, Noticias MundoFox will be airing a series of special segments titled “En manos de la mafia” (In the hands of the mafia), which will shed light to the experience lived by Latinos residing in the US who have been impacted by human trafficking. “En manos de la mafia” will air on Thursday, June 4 during the Noticias MundoFox 5:30PM/4:30C and 10:30PM/9:30C broadcasts.

Game of Thrones – Season 5 Premiere | April 6 on HBO

by KristinLeave a Comment on Game of Thrones – Season 5 Premiere | April 6 on HBO

8
The day has finally arrived!! Season 5 of Game of Thrones premieres tonight, April 12th at 9/8c on HBO.

Here is a summary I found online of where we left the major characters:

Tyrion Lannister

Derided as “the imp” and the perennial underdog, Tyrion was on death row for the murder of evil King Joffrey. He was let out of jail by his big brother Jaime Lannister but instead of immediately escaping, Tyron strangled his girlfriend and killed his father Lord Tywin Lannister. Tyrion made his get away with the assistance of Varys, a eunuch, who parcelled him in a small box, to be shipped to Pentos. His destiny will be of major interest.

Arya Stark

The young tough nut has set sail for the city of Braavos after her captor, Sandor Clegane, aka The Hound, appeared to be mortally wounded during a rumble with Brienne of Tarth. Brienne had made a vow to the deceased Catelyn Stark that she would protect Arya but the young Stark took off after the rumble confounding Brienne, and her offsider Podrick. It remains to be seen what became of the Hound.

Queen Daenerys Targaryen

The Mother of Dragons is overseeing Meereen – home to mercenaries, freed slaves and dragons. However she’s had to chain two of her three fire breathing friends after one of them baked a young child. But the third, largest and most aggressive of the trio, is still on the loose. Rounding that dragon up will no doubt be high on her list of things to do.

Sansa Stark

Arya’s older sister was married against her will to Tyrion but fled following the murder of King Joffrey. She was spirited away to the conniving Lord Petyr Baelish, aka Little Finger. In the last episode the sultry and demure Sansa had a goth makeover and remains pivotal to the plot. Will she fall under the spell of Littlefinger?

Littlefinger

Lord Petyr Baelish bumped off his wife Lysa, who was also Sansa’s aunt. Along with Lady Olenna Tyrell, he was behind the murder of Joffrey. Littlefinger cannot be trusted and murdering anyone in his way is his hobby. Taking Sansa as his next wife looks to be high on his agenda.

Cersei and Jaime Lannister

This incestuous pair are twin brother and sister by day, reunited lovers by night. They are the biological parents of King Tommen Baratheon. How they react to the death of their father Tywin, who was also the Hand of The King, will be a major turning point. Especially since Jaime let the caged imp out and Cersei wanted him dead. Someone will need to replace Tywin and guide Tommen, who is not old enough to rule in his own right.

Stannis Baratheon

The wannabe king turned up at Castle Black at the right time to help Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch bring down the Wildlings. Stannis, who is supported by his priestess Melisandre and his loyal Hand and confidant Ser Davos, borrowed a cart load of money to finance a new army so they can march toward King’s Landing where the Lannisters are based. Stannis is the younger brother of late King Robert Baratheon, who married Cersei, and he claims to be the rightful king because he knows Joffrey was born out of incest.

Jon Snow

The bastard child of the House of a Stark and a steward of the Night’s Watch, ended up burying, make that burning, his Wilding love Ygritte. She died after the Wildlings attacked Castle Black which Snow was defending and in danger of losing until Stannis rolled-up.

Bran Stark

Snow’s little brother (or who he considers his brother), who is unable to walk and is guarded by Hodor, is now north of the Wall and inside a tree. Apparently he doesn’t appear in season five, although last we saw he was told he would never going to walk again, but fly.

Nina Dobrev announces exit from ‘The Vampire Diaries’

by KristinLeave a Comment on Nina Dobrev announces exit from ‘The Vampire Diaries’

Well, TVD fans…I come bearing bad (or good) news…depending on which side of the Elena Gilbert fence you stand on.

We recently saw the exit of Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy Gilbert) from the show this season and now we know that Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) will be leaving as well.

After posting a ton of pictures celebrating Easter weekend with some of her friends and castmates, Nina posted the following on her Instagram account:

Dearest TVD Family,

I’ve just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn’t just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena’s story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there’s still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I’ll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever.

There’s more to come before we wrap this up, and I promise you’ll get to hear all about my experiences over the next month as we approach the season finale (I have given an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for you to see!), but until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert’s life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her — and to my work family — as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of you (this weekend’s pictures were just the beginning). You, the wonderful fandom who gave more love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for ‘that Twilight TV show.’ 😉 I love you all. Fasten your seatbelts. If you think you know what’s coming, you don’t.

Love, Nina

Now, this might come as a shock to some of you, but if you’ve been to any of the fan conventions, you would know that the cast has been hinting at the show ending soon anyway. This news also comes after we learned that Chris Wood (Kai Parker) has been cast in a new pilot called Cordon. Michael Trevino (Tyler Lockwood) has also been cast in a new pilot, which means his fate on the show is unknown as well.

With that being said, the cast shouldn’t have to urge fans to continue tuning in to the show. Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, the writers, cast and crew have done an amazing job keeping this show interesting and clever, so, as a fan, you shouldn’t have to be convinced to keep watching. Be the true fans I know you are and watch how everything pans out! Who knows? Maybe this is all going to end up being a dragged out April Fool’s joke!

If you have any theories as to how Elena will eventually leave the show, feel free to comment on this post!

Either way…The Vampire Diaries airs Thursday nights at 8/7c on The CW, so keep the fandom alive, peeps! 🙂
