A deeply layered tale of shipwreck, steep loss of life, courage, sacrifice and human endurance; of rescue and remembrance.

President Trump announced Monday that he is taking “historic action” to “take the capital back” by deploying the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and federalizing the city’s police department to “re-establish law and order,” and threatened the homeless population with jail time if they do not leave the city.

A small city located in the heart of the Amazon, Humaitá has one inhabitant per square kilometer. However, it has six bus companies. The most famous, the company “Siquiera”, is run by Luis and his son Leandro. They are the only ones who dare to venture onto Nacional 319, the most dangerous road in Brazil. If the other companies threw in the towel, both persist. After considerable effort, they decided to rehabilitate an abandoned road that runs deep into the Amazon rainforest.

One year ago, Nikolas Cruz legally purchased a semi-automatic rifle, walked into his old high school in Parkland, Florida, and killed 17 people. After the event, students decided to take on the all-powerful American gun rights lobby: the National Rifle Association. Tracing the story of a student uprising unlike any seen before, this moving documentary explores how, with its five million members and many political connections, the NRA manages to keep such a permissive gun law alive, and why it has such a strong hold over American society.

Six Republican-led states have now pledged National Guard troops to the Trump administration’s takeover of Washington, D.C., where it has assumed control of policing under the claim of tackling crime. Along with the D.C. National Guard that Trump already controlled, this brings the total number of troops in the streets of the capital to more than 2,000.

Israel’s security cabinet has announced the approval of a plan to occupy Gaza City, moving its ongoing military offensive north and displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians to camps in central Gaza. Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani emphasizes that the new strategy is simply “the first phase of a larger plan” for the permanent displacement, occupation and annexation of the entire Gaza Strip, as confirmed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent interview with Fox News. “We are dealing here with a genocide,” says Rabbani, where “Israel ... continua
