The Middle East is on the brink. I extend my heartfelt sympathy with civilians in Lebanon and across the region who now live in fear. I call on all parties to show maximum restraint. To revert to diplomacy. To de-escalate. To find political solutions.

Det er mange dokumentarister som oppsøker farlige og utilgjengelige miljøer for å formidle noe rått og oppsiktsvekkende. Men ingen gjør det akkurat som @Deeyah_Khan. Hennes nærbilder kan romme uendelig mye.

I år har jeg vært i en 30-årsdag uten bursdagsbarn. Jeg var i et bryllup som manglet en bestevenn på dansegulvet. Det er ikke unikt for meg. For alle som ble fratatt noen 22. juli treffer sporene...
