  1. I had a good day yesterday, watching 4 films :)

    "The Last First: Winter K2" (imdb.com/title/tt39150288/) - a rather heavy one to start with, about an expedition up the #mountain #K2 that goes badly wrong.

    Next was "The Wind's Thirst" (imdb.com/title/tt39172060/), about some indigenous Colombians at the mercy of #coal extraction and #WindFarm projects redirecting river water and subjecting them to violence.

    "Hell's Army" (imdb.com/title/tt39830102/) - was very interesting - about the origins of the #WagnerGroup and their involvement in various wars.
    In the Q&A afterwards, they said that some former Wagner Group members are now security on #Russia's "Shadow Fleet" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_).

    Last was "Notes From The Underground" (sheffdocfest.com/film/notes-un) about the #HipHop music scene in #CapeTown and how it developed under #apartheid up to the present day.
    In their Q&A they said they spent 34 days in 2017 filming, but lost all the footage in the burglary :( After mourning for a while, they then had to go back and shoot it all again.

    There were loads of other interesting-looking films I would like to watch, but I could only make the Sunday :(

    There was also a #BurningMan series on #HBO (imdb.com/title/tt29033873) that they showed a couple of episodes from, but I was too late to get tickets. I really need to look out for that as my mate said it was good!

  6. 160 megawatts. Two Equinix data centers proposed on golf course land in a city whose Day Zero water crisis still haunts the grid. The application doesn't disclose water use, emissions, or diesel capacity. Foxglove and the Housing Assembly filed objection. The land remembers what the contracts forget.
