Ithaka the Movie

Ithaka wins #Audience #Award and #Best #Documentary

'The campaign to free #JulianAssange takes on #intimate #dimensions in this documentary portrait of an elderly man’s fight to save his son. Arguably the world’s most famous #political #prisoner, #WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a figure pretty much everybody has an opinion about; perhaps more importantly, he serves as the emblem of an #international arm wrestle over #freedom of #journalism, #government #corruption and #unpunished #war-crimes. For his #family members who face the prospect of losing him forever to the #abyss of the #US #justice #system, however, this #David-and-Goliath struggle is #personal – and, with his #health declining in a #British #maximum-security #prison and #American government #prosecutors pulling out all the stops to #extradite him, the #clock-is-ticking.'

Which is telling.

Imperial Abyss ~ Yanis Varoufakis, Richard D Wolff

'It has been one year since #JoeBiden came into office. While he is at COP26 making weak and unconvincing commitments on the climate, the #collapse of the #world #order as we know it — from #environment to #geopolitics — seems #imminent. #RichardWolff and #YanisVaroufakis examine #Biden’s first year in office, and share their perspectives on the current #political and #economic order and its #future, from #techno-feudalism to the new #ColdWar on #China. They also speak about the ongoing #pandemic and the profound #transformations taking place in our time.'
