Ghosts on the glacier: a deadly expedition on Aconcagua (55-minute read) Tracing the visual legacy of the miners’ strike (6-minute read) The 100 fights that shaped action cinema (2-hour+ read!) Exiled Kurdish women fighting for freedom, photographed (11-minute read) An analysis of title drops in movies (10-minute read) Copa 71: the fascinating story of the unofficial Women’s World Cup (2-minute read; 2-minute watch) Released in the UK today, 8th March, the sports documentary Copa 71 aims to restore the suppressed history of the 1971 world cup, using rich archive footage and interviews with former players. The film serves as a great argument for the fact that a different world is possible; not only that, a different world did in fact exist. A political ecology of the repair manual (42-minute read) Who replaced Avril Lavigne? Joanne McNally investigates (32-minute listen) A lot of podcasts might approach the topic with fact-finding diligence, seeking a definitive answer that would put the rumours to bed. But this podcast just isn’t interested. Its comedian host Joanne McNally conducts interviews, yes, and visits Lavigne’s hometown; but she is much more concerned with how stupid the internet is than about getting to the bottom of one particular conspiracy. It’s incredibly funny.
