Description

THE TRUTH makes movies for your ears. They're short stories that are sometimes dark, sometimes funny, and always intriguing. Every story is different, but they all take you to unexpected places using only sound. If you're new, some good starting places are: Silvia's Blood, That's Democracy, Moon Graffiti, Tape Delay, or whatever's most recent. Listening with headphones is encouraged!

I cant believe 'The Runaways' episode ended like that?!? Can someone explain to me the ending, because if I'm not mistaken, the episode ended on a cliffhanger.
