The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

An angry orphan escapes a grey town on the back of a hurricane. She lands in a mysterious country of tiny people and wicked witches, where the trees carry bazookas, the crows recite slam poetry, and a mouse can blow your head off.

In just one day, this little girl revolutionizes an entire nation. She brings freedom, and colour. Her name is DOROTHY.
