13 Aug 23 The New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor publish a report that exposes decades of sexual abuse allegations against powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Directed by Maria Schrader. Based on the New York Times and Book “She Said” by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. NewYork, 2022: Universal Studios. 137 min.

A Korean single mother raises her teenage son in the suburbs or 1990’s Canada, determined to provide a better life for him than what she left behind. Written and directed by Anthony Shim. Telefilm Canada, The Harold Greenberg Fund, BC. 2022. 122 min. 9 May 23 Kalinga (Care) The stories of several Filipino caregivers and nannies in Vancouver, that bear witness to their sacrifices as they struggle to reunite with their own children and families. Director/Writer: Kent Donguines. National Screen Institute. BC. 37 min. I did go see Barbie and men like it too. I would use this movie for educational purposes as well as entertainment. When I left the theatre I wondered how many countries would banish the movie. So far two have. I expect more where equality is an issue. What I enjoyed the most was the laughter of children in the audience when the Kens dance instead of fighting. When an entire theatre of children laugh with such delight it is the best music and medicine.
