On 1 October 2017, during the Catalan independence referendum, Marta Torrecillas was violently dragged from a polling station by police. Her image and voice message went viral within hours, turning her into an international symbol of state violence. Days later, when medical reports contradicted her initial belief that her fingers were broken, she became the target of a brutal media backlash. Harassed, threatened and diagnosed with PTSD, Marta fights to reclaim her name and dignity. An intimate reflection on sisterhood, care and healing in the aftermath of public violence. Refusing to let a viral image define her, Marta’s story becomes a moving exploration of resilience, solidarity and the urgent need for truth and accountability in the digital age.

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.

Lindsay Lohan makes a big film comeback in this amazing holiday comedy of the year.
There’s no two ways about it — Bridgerton is horny. Shondaland’s newest venture- released on Netflix on Christmas- is certainly a spectacle to behold, just as the premise; essentially an Austenian, Regency-Era Gossip Girl, helmed by Shonda Rhimes, the reigning queen of steamy romance television. It would not be inaccurate to describe it as Jane Austen porn.
