Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but heavier is the burden of being next in line. The British Royal family is built on the traditional duty until death. For every heir to the throne, there is a spare. Charles knew he’d become King, following in his mother's footsteps, leaving his sister Anne behind. Despite their close childhood bond, becoming the reigning Monarch would definitely divide the pair. When one steps up, the other must step back.
They say history often repeats itself. And when we look at the lives of Edward VIII, the King never crowned, and his great grandnephew Prince Harry, the unconventional spare, you can’t help but notice the surprising parallels between the two. Both modern in how they approached royal life, with personal lives full of gossip and scandal, it was ultimately love, for American socialite Wallis Simpson & actress Megan Markle that drew Edward & Harry away from their duty.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge has become a real style icon. Her understated and polished look is known worldwide. Although she may not be a follower of the latest trends - she has become something of a trendsetter. She maintains a chic and timeless look pairing classic tailoring with modern twists. Her undeniable influence on the fashion industry has been well documented as what we now know as the ‘Kate Effect’. Some of the greatest style revolutions in royal fashion arrive when someone new enters the royal family through marriage. It was no different with Kate Middleton. Kate was an ordinary girl, wearing high-street fashion and enjoying university life when she met her Prince at St Andrew’s University. Over the past decade, Kate has transformed her style from university student to Duchess, with the utterly elegant, chic and classic style we know and love today.

While heated debates about integration and refugee policy dominate everyday life in Germany, hundreds of thousands of Germans have been emigrating abroad for years. One of the most popular destinations is Spain—and for a very specific kind of person, the Canary village of Valle Gran Rey in the southwestern part of La Gomera. This Canary village has long ceased to be an insider tip: as early as the 1970s, the ‘68 generation came—an eclectic mix of dropouts, rebels, and hippies. To this day, they are followed by artists, nature lovers, and visionaries who are often searching for healing from an overstimulated and stressful life back home. What is the secret of this place? Why did you leave your homeland—or did your homeland leave you?

"No Water Land" is a poignant documentary detailing the struggles of two young girls, Jyoti Bhore and Rani Madhavan, in rural India as they grapple with the harsh realities of survival due to their water collection duties. This narrative is set in remote villages of Maharashtra where girls, from an extremely young age, have to bear the laborious task of fetching water for their households. The ordeal involves traveling long distances, often under scorching heat and sometimes barefoot, balancing heavy pots of water on their heads. This day-to-day hardship deprives the girls of their innocent childhood and obstructs their educational pursuits. Jyoti and Rani, who aspire to become a policewoman and a nurse respectively, find their dreams fading away amidst the toil of water collection. The documentary is produced by Shaz Memon, the founder of Wells on Wheels, a water charity aimed at improving the lives and education of young girls in Maharashtra. The film is directed by award-winning Saumitra Singh, who was deeply moved by the heart-rending stories of these young girls and decided to spotlight their predicament to the world. Sanjay Kapoor, a prominent Indian film actor, and an ambassador for Wells on Wheels, lends his voice and support to the cause, hoping to illuminate a path to a promising future for these girls.

Fire Through Dry Grass uncovers in real-time the devastation experienced by residents of a New York City nursing home during the coronavirus pandemic. Co-Directors Alexis Neophytides and Andres Jay Molina take viewers inside Coler, on Roosevelt Island, where Jay lives with his fellow Reality Poets, a group of mostly gun violence survivors. Wearing snapback caps and Air Jordans, Jay and the other Reality Poets don’t look like typical nursing home residents. They used to travel around the city sharing their art and hard-earned wisdom with youth. Now, using GoPros clamped to their wheelchairs, they document their harrowing experiences on lock down. Covid-positive patients are moved into their bedrooms; nurses fashion PPE out of garbage bags; refrigerated-trailer morgues hum outside residents’ windows. All the while public officials deny the suffering and dying behind Coler’s brick walls. The Reality Poets’ rhymes flow throughout the film, underscoring their feelings that their home is now as dangerous as the streets they once ran and—as summer turns to fall turns to winter—that they’re prisoners without a release date. But instead of history repeating itself on this tiny island with a dark history of institutional neglect and abandonment, Fire Through Dry Grass shows these disabled Black and Brown artists refusing to be abused, confined, erased.

What if everything we’ve been taught about charity is wrong? What if our beliefs are undermining the causes we love? “Uncharitable” is the world’s first feature-length documentary to examine our most basic ideas about giving. It re-shuffles old notions about saints and sinners, heroes and heretics, good and greed. It follows the stories of three record-breaking entrepreneurial charitable initiatives that were mercilessly attacked by the media, ultimately devastating the very people the initiatives were helping. It features activist and entrepreneur Dan Pallotta, whose TED Talk on charity was voted the most persuasive TED talk of all time by the TED community. Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal—“Uncharitable” offers a radical but simple idea: abandon our sack-cloth-and-ashes constraints on nonprofits. Give them the same economic freedoms we give to business and charities can lead the way to changing the world. Propelled by poignant, personal stories and featuring Edward Norton, Darren Walker and other prominent figures in philanthropy, “Uncharitable” takes audiences on a profoundly moving, hopeful and emotional journey that opens new domains of possibility for a world that can work for everyone.

'Lykkens visdom' er en filmisk rejse ind i Dalai Lamas inderste verden, hvor vi inviteres på opdagelse i lykkens væsen. Efter ni udfordrende årtier i verdens søgelys reflekterer Dalai Lama over, hvordan man kan balancere de årtusindgamle tibetanske buddhistiske traditioner med moderne værdier. Dalai Lama var tidligt ude med opfordring om at beskytte vores planet, og i en tid, hvor et miljømæssigt kollaps truer, viser han os, at en sundere og lykkeligere verden for alle levende væsener er mulig. Med stor indsigt og charme inspirerer Dalai Lama os til at se, hvor let det faktisk kan være at skabe et fredeligt samfund, hvor alle kan trives. Selvom lykken udspringer i hver af os, er det kun gennem dyrkelsen af ubetinget medfølelse for hinanden, at vi kan transformere verden.

It is true that Diana’s life was complicated, and it ended tragically. There are still some unanswered questions around her death, but ultimately, fame killed her. Diana didn’t just accept the world around her for the way it was, and she used her role in the public eye to help causes that many others overlooked. Diana was proof that it is still possible to achieve and surpass the expectations placed on you by other people. Diana was glamorous, magnetic, photogenic, mercurial, manipulative and intuitive; media victim and perpetrator; the Real Princess of Kensington, a reality star before such a thing existed. She was and always will be a worldwide symbol of love, compassion and charity, and both her fame and public admiration were unprecedented. What made Diana so special to millions, if not billions of people, was her innate ability to offer comfort to those who needed it and by always doing what she believed was right, even when it went against societal norms or royal tradition.
