Dr. Steeve Coupeau Interviews Brian Vincent Rhodes Director of MOSQUITO Featured at Urban World Film Festival October 2, 2017

Can you tell us a bit about the original vision and the journey to get to where you are today?

We started with two female mosquitos. In the original story the daughter, Aliye (pronouced A-LEE-YAH), didn't want to hunt because her mother had died. We found this interesting but a bit morbid. We changed it to the mother being alive and adopted the story of Aliye not liking blood.

What are three tools that you wish you knew when you first became involved in the film industry?

1. Focus on your craft. Networking is important, but in the end, most of what matters is what happens when they press play. 2. Humble yourself and ask for help. The people that made it the farthest, had the most help. 3. Speak with integrity. The film industry is small. Your reputation is invaluable.

Dr. Steeve Coupeau Interviews Omar Al Dakheel Director of Ablution, Featured at Urban World Film Festival October 7, 2017

Can you tell us a bit about the original vision and the journey to get to where you are today?

The original vision was to tell a unique and universal story. Jay Abdo played the complexed disabled Muslim father trapped in a wheelchair and in a belief system. I want to thank amazing team like my producers and DP who were very on top of every single step along the way.

What is the main thread of the story depicted in the film? Can you fill in story gaps for people who might be unfamiliar with the lead characters?

This is a love story. It is a father's and son's love, a youthful couple's love, and God's love. It's a pyramid and paradox story where your love to your lover can be against the love of god, and that leads the dad to choose between his love to his son or his love to God. This film will make you question your faith, family values and love interest and whether you can balance between them all.

What are three tools that you wish you knew when you first became involved in the film industry?

1- Time and money management in unusual circumstances 2- Mental and physical stamina. 3- Well and long prepared and specific planning.

The impact of natural disasters in the Caribbean by Eturbo, 16 September 2017

A Special Meeting was organized on the occasion of the UNWTO's 22nd General Assembly in to discuss how to support the destinations affected by Hurricane Irma and the earthquake that struck the southern coast of Mexico. The impact of these natural disasters on infrastructure and natural resources has been significant. Tourism is the main pillar of the economies and lifeline of Caribbean destinations. The meeting identified three lines of action: 1. Support the recovery of the affected destinations through the private sector and aid agencies. It was noted that special attention should be given to SMEs due to their lack of means to rebuild and recover. Sharing experiences on resilience and crisis management. 2. Developing strong and coordinated communication. 3. The group also agreed to propose that the General Assembly to adopt a special resolution expressing solidarity and support to the affected destinations and calling for the support of the international community.

The UNWTO Secretary-General will convey the concerns and needs of the tourism sector in the region to the coming meeting of the UN Chief Executive Board which gathers the heads of the UN system. A working group was created to follow up on the meeting's discussions in close coordination with the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), and the recovery of affected destinations will take center stage at the UNWTO/Government of Jamaica/ World Bank Conference taking place in Jamaica later this year.

In Defiance Of Trump Threats, US Athletes Protest Police Repression By Patrick Martin, WSWS.ORG 9/27/17

He said he was 'deeply disappointed with the tone of the comments made by the president,' concluding, 'Our players are intelligent, thoughtful and care deeply about their community, and I support their right to peacefully effect social change and raise awareness in a manner they feel is most impactful.'

The protests resumed this season, with fuel added to the fire not only by continuing police killings and the racist rampage by neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, but also by a racist police attack involving Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks, who was assaulted by two cops outside a Las Vegas nightclub.

Trump combined his diatribe against Kaepernick and other protesting football players with a public fight with Stephen Curry, the star point guard for the National Basketball Association champion Golden State Warriors and the NBA's most valuable player in 2015 and 2016.

After Curry was quoted Friday saying he was reluctant to participate in a team visit to the White House to receive congratulations on their championship, the White House disinvited him, a slap that touched off hundreds of hostile tweets and statements from NBA players and other athletes. Notable was Curry's top rival, LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who denounced Trump as a 'bum.'

For the Trump White House, the clash with professional athletes, the vast majority of them African-American, is a deliberate effort to whip up racial tensions and appeal to the same fascistic forces who rioted in Charlottesville. At the time, Trump praised the ultra-right provocation as including 'very fine people.'
