Pope Francis urges action on climate change and conflict to address migration by Eturbo, 17 October 2017

Pope Francis called for governments around the world to collaborate to make migration a safer and voluntary choice, arguing that assuring food security for all requires tackling climate change and ending conflicts. He made the call at the global ceremony to mark World Food Day, held at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) headquarters.

'Managing human mobility requires a coordinated, systematic intergovernmental action in line with existing international norms, and full of love and intelligence,' the pontiff said during his key note address.

He called for a total commitment to gradual and systematic disarmament, and urged a change to lifestyles, the use of resources and the production and consumption of food to protect the planet.'What is at stake is the credibility of the whole international system,' he added. He also said it was unfortunate that 'some'countries are moving away from the Paris Agreement on climate change.

Dr. Steeve Coupeau Interviews Brian Vincent Rhodes Director of MOSQUITO Featured at Urban World Film Festival October 2, 2017

NYIHA MEDIA asked the director to tell his story behind the making of the film.

Where does your artistic influence come from and when did you start this project?

The influence for this film was two-fold. First, I wanted to tell a deeply personal story. I grew up in Detroit Michigan as a black male from a family of engineers. My parents, being first generation business owners, saw following in their footsteps as a way to move up the socioeconomic ladder. I went to college and became an engineer. In time, I decided to follow my childhood gifts and became an artist. This, of course, caused tension.

Also, my directing partner, Teng 'Eric' Cheng, grew up in Beijing, China hearing stories about mosquitos. Mosquitos are interesting because it is the female who hunts. We found it interesting and challenging to make strong female characters that were not appealing to a man for their strength. I used my mother and sister as inspiration. Also mosquitos predate humans by many years, so, in a way, we are the pest to them. We wanted to combine these ideas.

Dr. Steeve Coupeau Interviews Omar Al Dakheel Director of Ablution, Featured at Urban World Film Festival October 7, 2017

NYIHA MEDIA asked the director to tell his story behind the making of the film.

Where does your artistic influence come from and when did you start this project?

It comes from real stories and real social issues that I care about, especially if it is something that deals with my culture or religion as an Arab Muslim man. When I see something that I feel is unjust in society, I try to make people feel something, change perception about something, talk about something and eventually change and evolve.

I started the project right after the Orlando mass shooting last year which was carried by a Muslim man that targeted the LGBTQ community. That filled me with anger and shame. So, I wanted to give a different and more inclusive take on Islam and Muslims though a story that shows the bond between a dependent disabled Muslim father and son that gets compromised because of the son’s sexuality. So, when people see the film they you will realize that religion doesn’t have to be pitted against love, it actually can be more tolerant and inclusive.

In Defiance Of Trump Threats, US Athletes Protest Police Repression By Patrick Martin, WSWS.ORG 9/27/17

Hundreds of National Football League players took part in symbolic protest actions against police violence Sunday, kneeling or sitting during the playing of the US national anthem before professional football games, or locking arms with those who did. Dozens of players have been taking part in such protests since the beginning of the season, angered by the continuing police shootings and killings and expressing particular concern over the disproportionate police violence directed at minority youth. Three quarters of NFL players are African-American.

The protests escalated Sunday in response to the intervention of President Trump, who, in the course of a Friday night campaign appearance in Alabama, vilified the protesters with an obscenity and called on NFL owners to fire any player who refused to stand at attention during the playing of the anthem.

The sentiment among the players to defy the president was so overwhelming that coaches, owners and even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell were compelled to rebuke Trump for his demand that public dissenters be fired on the spot. One of the sharpest rebukes came from Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots and a longtime Trump crony.
