Spotlight on the Troubles: A Secret History, goes the extra mile to serve the public in its search for truth about the thirty years of conflict in Northern Ireland, ending, officially anyway, with the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
The journalists unearth new information on both sides of the divide. They earn the trust of both victims and perpetrators. They get out of the way of agents and viewers to aid recognition of the turmoil that rocked the region and the enormity of involvement by special powerful interests.
This excellent series should compel a number of additional loose threads to be tied up. This Spotlight team are professional and courageous as can be. Brilliant.

This film is about more than individual ptsd. It also operates as a metaphor for our systemically challenged world, the damage addiction to things, to enforced dispossession by accumulation, is doing, and the curative power of gentleness, kindness and community.
As a piece of cinema, the acting and aesthetics work perfectly. The drama is not bombastic but moves along steadily, and is realistic. Leave No Trace makes me want to seek out the novel it was based on, My Abandonment, and to find out more about the author, and about the film makers behind this great movie.

I enjoyed Loneliness, a sort of meek humorous variation of Big Brother, where an omniscient state tracks down loners as deviant and candidates for obligatory treatment. A cast of likable characters make for affectionate amusing entertainment, in a story which has something more profound to say about our modern world.
