Dutch 14-year-old Laura Dekker set out on a two-year voyage in pursuit of her dream to become the youngest person ever to sail around the world alone. Her adventure is chronicled in Jillian Schlesinger's new film, “Maidentrip.”

The voyage was preceded by a year-long battle with Dutch authorities who argued Dekker was not old enough to make the journey alone. That sparked a global storm of media scrutiny. This is the story of Dekker's voyage, far from land, family and unwanted attention, exploring the world in search of freedom, adventure, and distant dreams of her early youth at sea. “Maidentrip” PG, plays Wednesday, Feb. 19 and Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m.

“The Lego Movie” is the first-ever, full-length theatrical Lego adventure. The original computer animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average Lego minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted to take part in an epic quest to stop the evil tyrant Lord Business, who is bent on destroying their Lego universe by gluing it all together. A journey Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously under-prepared for.

“The Lego Movie” PG, features an all-star voice cast including Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Billy Dee Williams, Shaquille O'Neal, and Will Forte. “The Lego Movie” PG plays Friday, Feb. 21 and Saturday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23.
