Drag Heals
2018
star 4.8RuPaul brought Drag Race into the homes of millions and made the once taboo art form mainstream. This newfound renaissance has inspired a new generation to explore the art of drag and challenge the constructs of gender. While RuPaul’s Drag Race is a competition, Drag Heals is a documentary journey that follows men who have never worn heels or make-up but have always dreamed of letting their inner drag queen out. These men (and aspiring queens!) enter Canada’s first ever Drag class to explore how to create a compelling drag persona based on personal experience. For most, this is akin to a second coming out process. The culmination of the workshops will be a public performance where they will face down their fears of stepping into the limelight. Drag is typically viewed from a distance; Drag Heals gives unparalleled access to the creation of a performance that is more than just your average lip sync.Australia's Wild Odyssey

2018
star 10In this provocative television essay, writer and broadcaster Jonathan Meades turns his forensic gaze on that modern phenomenon that drives us all up the wall - jargon. In a wide-ranging programme he dissects politics, the law, football commentary, business, the arts, tabloid-speak and management consultancy to show how jargon is used to cover up, confuse and generally keep us in the dark. He contrasts this with the world of slang, which unlike jargon actually gets to the heart of whatever it's talking about even if it does offend along the way. With plenty of what is called 'strong language', Meades pulls no punches in slaying the dragon of jargon.Pure Brews America

Summer Palace
2010
star 7.7The Imperial Garden of the Qing Dynasty, formerly known as the Qingyi Garden, was built in the Qing Emperor Qianlong period when the national power was strong. It was destroyed by the British and French coalition forces in the second Opium War in 1860. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, it was renamed the Summer Palace and became the main place where Cixi lived and lived in his later years. The Summer Palace was looted by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900 and was occupied by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War. In 1928, the Summer Palace officially became a national park by the Royal Garden. The preservation of the archives and cultural relics in the park today records the history of China's feudal society from its glory to its decline, and it has also witnessed the vicissitudes of several vicissitudes of gardens in New China. The Summer Palace is a collection of Chinese classical garden art. It combines the essence of the north and south gardens and integrates the man-made landscape with nature.
