This video is reportedly from Morena, Madhya Pradesh, where a young man approached the Mayor with a corruption complaint. When the Mayor asked him how he knew about the bribery, the youth immediately called the corrupt officials on the spot and exposed them right in front of the

Pope Leo on cinema, today at the Vatican, could not be more right (and, dare I say, holy): https://t.co/ae4o67MrwJ
