“Disclosure Day” and Anthropocentrism
Disclosure Day asks us to question humanity's role in the universe but falls victim to the same assumptions of centrality.

In this one-off documentary for ITV, Lady Pamela Hicks talks for the first time on television about her incredible life growing up within The Royal Family and her close relationship with The Queen. Lady Pamela is the daughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten, great great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, cousin to Prince Philip and second cousin to The Queen. She is uniquely placed to document her memories of her years with The Queen, whether as her childhood friend, bridesmaid or as her Lady in Waiting.

This film is based off of The Diary of a Young Girl, which was written during the Holocaust period.
Halle's belting, crystal clear notes, and warm tone infused something into this blockbuster that I thoroughly enjoy.
... La huesera haunts her daily life, leaving people to question her viability as a mother, and Valeria’s lack of satisfaction with her life leave her asking similar questions. These misgivings reach their peak after the baby is born, when Valeria, visibly in a state akin to possession, locks her in the fridge when she won’t stop crying through the night
A direct fall into the white savior narrative
Overall, 18 Presents feels more like a soap opera than a drama, and I feel bad for saying that since the concept is based off a tragic story (even though it’s loosely). I’m sure other people will find this film emotional for them, but as for me, it’s bland and forgettable.
