"Such will is what defines Los Angeles as a city and Southern California as a region... The will to persist, to hold the perimeter, to keep moving into a future that’s uncertain, in a physical environment that, out of nowhere, can become catastrophically harsh."

Los Angeles may have a reputation for being superficial, but it is in fact a territory that might, at any moment, upend (or even end) your life.

Funny, I considered springing for a World Book just a couple of months ago. It still enables jumping topics, but slows the leap down — unlike instantaneously clicking a tab open. More my speed. 👵🏻

TV once reflected the life cycle of an actor — either the very beginning of their career or fun they had in the twilight of stardom. Here is a very young Angie Dickinson in a 1958 episode of Perry Mason, The Case of the One-Eyed Witness.

Watched all three parts of PBS Frontline’s exceptional doc, America and the Taliban this weekend.

Boy did we fuck this up.
America and the Taliban: Part One (full documentary) | FRONTLINE
Watch Part One of “America and the Taliban,” a three-episode FRONTLINE documentary series investigating how the U.S. lost the 20-year war in Afghanistan. This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate​. Drawing on 20 years of on-the-ground reporting and revealing new interviews with both U.S. and Taliban officials, award-winning producers Marcela Gaviria and Martin Smith chronicle how what began in the wake of the 9/11 attacks as an effort to eliminate Al Qaeda and oust its ruling ally, the Taliban, became America’s longest war with nearly 50,000 Afghan civilians dead, approximately 2,400 American service members killed — and how it ended in defeat in August 2021 with U.S. troops withdrawing, the Western-backed Afghan government collapsing, and the Taliban once again in control. “For all the lives and money spent, over two trillion dollars, Afghanistan has regressed to what it was before America invaded, a country where women are denied an education, music is banned, beards for men are mandatory and homosexuality is punishable by death,” says Smith, who has been covering Afghanistan and the Middle East for FRONTLINE for two decades. “Our new series traces the mistakes, miscalculations and hubris that allowed this to happen.” Watch Part One now. Parts Two and Three premiere April 11 and 25. “America and the Taliban” is a FRONTLINE production with RAIN Media, Inc. The producers are Brian Funck, Marcela Gaviria and Martin Smith. The writers and directors are Marcela Gaviria and Martin Smith. The correspondent is Martin Smith. The co-producer is Scott Anger. The executive producer and editor-in-chief for FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath. Explore additional reporting on \

Such a well done film on Sindhi identity and culture, and a solid primer on the psychosocial effects of partition. It’s so rare to find interviews of survivors, too.

Pakistan’s forgotten civilization | DW Documentary
Pakistan’s Sindh region is one of the cradles of human civilization. It’s seen as the homeland of the Indus Valley Civilization, an advanced Bronze Age civilization. But the events of 1947 brought drastic change to the cultural landscape of the Sindh. The 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan was devastating for those living in the Sindh region. Most were Hindus and fled to India, as the area was completely assigned to Pakistan. Many Muslims from India then resettled in Sindh and changed the face of this region, whose cultural heritage had been formed over centuries. Suddenly, the Hindus who remained found themselves in the minority. Many members of the Sindhi community are now scattered across the globe. They’re making every effort to preserve the old stories and traditions and are proud of their legacy as descendants of one of the oldest human civilizations. #documentary #dwdocumentary #pakistan #sindh ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
