Meryl Streep Calls On The Press To Hold Trump To Account

Posted on by Janet Awe

One of the biggest failings of the US press in recent months, in the run up to their election and since Donald Trump’s shocking win, has been not only a failure to highlight when Donald Trump has been telling lies but to often repeat his comments verbatim, as if they were the truth. When Meryl Streep […]

RIP Frankie Knuckles

Posted on by Janet Awe

Known as the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles was a massive part of the soundtrack of my life.  Really sad to hear of his passing last night, aged only 59.  The music, memories and love that he leaves behind are immeasurable. So many classic songs. But Your Love has to be the one (having problems […]

Posted on by Janet Awe

Today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s great speech, one of many made that day, towards the end of the March on Washington in 1963.

Beyoncé sings The Star Spangled Banner at Obama’s public inauguration, for his 2nd term as President of the USA

Posted on by Janet Awe

Today, President Barack Obama was publicly sworn into his second term as American President. The historical importance of this day – and the positive message that it sends to young people, and adults, of all backgrounds and lifestyles – can not be underestimated. He used his inaugural address to “issue a powerful call to action, as […]

Film Review: Compliance

Posted on by Janet Awe

Compliance is the most ridiculous film that I’ve ever seen. But not because it’s bad. In fact, it’s very good. In an awful way. The problem is, the events that it depicts are so utterly dreadful that it seems impossible to believe that it’s based on a true story. At times, you certainly do forget […]
