I'd suggest listening from 14:40 onwards, if you don't want to hear the entire interview, and listen to a beautiful rendition from the genius that was Walt Whitman and as with all great writing the relevance it continues to have.

I've been watching films for a long time, with a truly 'critical' eye, across every genre, almost always watching even the poorest to the final credit!
This was a film so appalling in almost every important aspect, including the banality of its struggling story and attempted homage to horrors that had been much more successfully made in the past. Why reinvent the wheel if you end up making it square? Indeed, the worst aspects of the film were the often dreadful, wooden, uninspiring, formulaic, nonsensical script and macho acting throughout...the music was OK, as was the cinematography.
Did the Oscar committee not notice the acting skills of those in films which figured in other gongs this year, the obvious being Di Caprio.
If this was some sort of recognition to African-American film, then might I mention Spike Lee as an example of someone who's made a host of films that should have won multiple Oscars on more than one occassion. I even heard someone start to talk about Poitier...my ears switched off...don't even go there!
The awards are not simply a matter of opinion, (that word opinion!), but a matter of careful observation and assessment or comparison and in-depth consideration. What on earth happened?

Please pressure your political representative to in turn compel the PM to act in unison with other European leaders to sanction Israel.

More than two years after Israel’s devastating war in Gaza began, the West Bank has become an increasingly volatile front in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict...

This is a profoundly moving documentary and I believe it is one that every secondary school should air as part of science and nature education, also linked to politics and even intelligence services.
Some of the film is disturbing to watch and the intrigue found through research is truly shocking and outwith the public domain until relatively recently.

Film that tells how recently uncovered Soviet whaling reports have allowed us to understand the magnitude of historical whale populations and the shocking impact of commercial whaling.

Real Heritage - Real St Agnes
Reading the story of mining in Cornwall comes with the realisation that men, women and children walked on the moon long before 1969.

Walking and showing a few meters of approx. 7000 km of public highway in Somerset thus a tiny fraction of the topsoil being washed away to oceanic oblivion, never to return. I tried in vain to inform a guy trying to unblock a ditch to increase flow that he was making things worse...he wasn't convinced. Farming and flood management needs to change now!
