A reminder that people who are being criminalized for Palestinian solidarity work need our support

I was arrested and criminally charged this morning for taking part in a pro-Palestine demonstration in January

The millions struggling in Palestine are not alone, millions more are with them, pushing from abroad in love and solidarity

the right to gather and protest a fucking lie. don’t buy this “nice” canada propaganda you really get cracked tf down for using your voice

I shouldn’t be shocked at this level of state oppression here, but I am. Thousands and thousands of us, in Toronto, have been using our democratic rights to try and stop genocide and the ongoing slaughter of Palestinians. The demonstrations won’t end until Palestine is free.

A year ago today I was making plans to go back to Sudan for the first time since 2009. A year ago today, a brutal war made my cousins, aunts, uncles flee for safety. I haven’t been able to write about it or process it publicly — it’s still not a news story to me. It’s my family.

Eleanor Coppola was a true artist who documented the insanity of filmmaking from the inside out.
Her Apocalypse Now footage and audio documentation helped create 'Hearts of Darkness' directed by George Hickenlooper and Fax Bahr.

Her book, 'Notes' is a must read.

Vale Eleanor Coppola. ♥️

There's a great book yet to be written on the oft-overlooked or outright erased women who developed the hot young New Hollywood of the '70s while their husbands got all the credit, and Eleanor Coppola would be number one in its mentions.

#RIP Eleanor Coppola. When she did 'Hearts of Darkness,' Francis “was not happy because he felt like it made him look too out of control,' she told The Hollywood Reporter. 'But my reaction is it really shows the creative process and the depth of anguish that it can be.' hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

Eleanor Coppola, a writer and American filmmaker who chronicled her husband Francis Ford Coppola's taxing 238-day production of “Apocalypse Now” in her documentary “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,” has died. She was 87.
