An actually good reason to boycott Christopher Nolan’s ODYSSEY is that he filmed it in the occupied Western Sahara with Moroccan money

Everyone in the bar is a dude, including Davy in the Navy and Paul, "who never had time for a wife". PIANO MAN is clearly the story of a guy who doesn't realize he's playing in a gay bar.

This is an extreme emergency. Mohammed and his family are being consumed by poverty, disease, and hunger. Their tent is completely worn out, and they have no money at all. I implore you, a million times over, to donate and help them. They are in desperate need of your support. What you might consider a small amount can fundamentally improve their lives and the lives of their family. Please, donate and share this campaign. chuffed.org/project/147390-h…

Looking back on 55 years of Mwandishi, released in March 1971. Hancock called Mwandishi “my favorite record of all the records I have ever made, and the loosest I’ve ever done.”

One of Iran's finest actors. Many know him from Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry but I will always admire the work he did on Facing Mirrors, a rare Iranian film advocating trans rights and empowerment. His presence will be missed.
