  12. Laura Poitras – „All die Schönheit und das Blutvergießen“ (2022)

    Ein Dokumentarfilm, der einmal nicht mit einem Skandal beginnt, sondern mit Nähe. Intimität einmal nicht als Pose, sondern als Überlebensstrategie. Dass Laura Poitras daraus einen politischen Film macht, ist keine Überraschung. Eher eine Konsequenz ihres gesamten Werks. Sie untersucht Macht als etwas, das sich in Menschen einschreibt. Hier porträtiert sie Nan Goldin, deren Werk und Leben untrennbar mit Intimität, Schmerz, Widerstand und Erinnerung verbunden ist. (ARTE, Neu!)

  17. The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

  23. The deal overseen by US Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane would require members of the #Sackler family who own the company to contribute up to $7 billion & give up ownership. The new agreement replaces one #SCOTUS rejected last year, finding it would have improperly protected members of the family against future lawsuits. The judge said he would explain his decision in a hearing Tuesday.
