I had a good day yesterday, watching 4 films :)
"The Last First: Winter K2" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39150288/) - a rather heavy one to start with, about an expedition up the #mountain #K2 that goes badly wrong.
Next was "The Wind's Thirst" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39172060/) about some indigenous Colombians at the mercy of #coal extraction and #WindFarm projects redirecting river water and subjecting them to violence.
"Hell's Army" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39830102/) - was very interesting - about the origins of the #WagnerGroup and their involvement in various wars.
In the Q&A afterwards, they said that some former Wagner Group members are now security on #Russia's "Shadow Fleet" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_shadow_fleet)
Last was "Notes From The Underground" (https://www.sheffdocfest.com/film/notes-underground) about the #HipHop music scene in #CapeTown and how it developed under #apartheid up to the present day.
In their Q&A they said they spent 34 days in 2017 filming, but lost all the footage in the burglary :( After mourning for a while, they then had to go back and shoot it all again.
There were loads of other interesting-looking films I would like to watch, but I could only make the Sunday :(
There was also a #BurningMan series on #HBO (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29033873) that they showed a couple of episodes from, but I was too late to get tickets. I really need to look out for that as my mate said it was good!

The team are all here: @casey@kafeneio.social @aseelfromgz@mastodon.social @rania40@mastodon.social
Verification asserts that the person/their family are Palestinian and from Gaza. That’s it. It’s not a character reference. It just says “this person is suffering genocide.”
I know you’re German so it’s hard but maybe try and not be a dick about people suffering genocide, even if it’s one that your government is the world’s second-largest arms dealer for.

"The Palestinian journalists held in Israel’s ‘cemeteries for the living’
Held without charge in Israeli jails, West Bank reporters describe beatings, starvation, isolation, and threats meant to force them into silence.
Ali Al-Samoudi has spent four decades documenting the daily realities of life under occupation in the northern West Bank. A 60-year-old veteran Palestinian journalist from Jenin, he has worked as a correspondent for Al-Quds newspaper and as a cameraman for Al Jazeera and other international media outlets.
But he is perhaps best known as the colleague of Shireen Abu Akleh, whom Israeli forces shot and killed during a raid on Jenin refugee camp in May 2022. Standing beside Abu Akleh, Al-Samoudi was also shot that day in the back; the bullet exited cleanly through his shoulder.
On April 29, 2025, Israeli forces raided Al-Samoudi’s home in Jenin at dawn and arrested him. He was held without charge or trial, before being released almost a year to-the-day later, on April 30, 2026."

Protect someone the way the UK protects genocide: “Cenk Uygur, Hasan Piker Banned From UK After Israel Criticisms: ‘This Is Absolutely Kafkaesque’
The Young Turks co-creator says he found out while trying to board a flight to London for a speech at Oxford”
https://www.thewrap.com/media-platforms/politics/cenk-uygur-hasan-piker-banned-from-uk-over-israel-criticisms-this-is-absolutely-kafkaesque/
Cenk Uygur, co-founder of the Young Turks and a resolute critic of Israel, and his nephew Hasan Piker, the left-wing political commentator and influencer, both said Sunday that they had been banned from traveling to the U.K., stating that British authorities cited their public criticisms of Israel.
…
“I’ve been banned from the UK,” he wrote. “I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!”
…
“The British government is saying they’re banning me because I am ‘a serious risk to the public order’ due to my criticism of Israel. They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don’t know if facts will soon be banned in Britain.”

“A new Israeli report warns that the academic boycott of the country’s universities has become so extensive that the damage could be ‘irreversible.’ — It’s as if the world has closed itself off to me, says researcher Moran Zaga.”
Yes, Moran, it’s what happens when you’re committing genocide. There’s an easy fix: stop committing genocide.

Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.
They deleted two of Geri’s posts.
Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.
Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.

He also wore a pin depicting a noose, as his party advanced a bill proposing the death penalty exclusively for Palestinian terrorism convicts, which was passed into law late last month…

Israel is not a race.
Condemning genocidists isn’t discrimination. Israel’s apartheid regime is discrimination.
Israelis are settler colonialists. That’s not a slur, it’s a fact.
No one is committing genocide against Israelis. The only people committing genocide are the Israelis.

Dear reply-and-block hasbara bot at @coffeebits@101010.pl (please feel free to report and block),
Zionism is not a race.
Zionism isn’t even a religion.
Zionism is a settler colonialist, genocidal ideology.
Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews.
And it’s not libel if it’s true.
