The surprising discovery of three large fragments of the Pax In Lucem mural, an iconic work by Joaquín Torres-García left for lost in the fierce fire of the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro in 1978, triggers a journey into the artist's life full of his great-grandson Alexander. The film is released within the framework of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Uruguayan master.

'The Wiz' has the propensity for paying homage to black culture with R&B music, graffiti and jazzy elements that make it incredibly entertaining.
An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
