A man known for making monuments and a monument himself among the world’s most creative icons, Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt completed more public sculptures than anyother artist in the country. His sculptural works honor and memorialize some of Chicago’s most historically significant figures that will inspire generations, at a time when othermonuments are being examined or dismantled for their injustice and falsehoods.This 70-minute documentary, The Light of Truth: Richard Hunt’s Monument to Ida B. Wells by Director/Producer, Rana Segal and Producers, Laurie Little and Vincent Singleton, weaves together a story of Richard Hunt’s life and his fabrication of The Light of Truth monument with the story of Ida B. Wells’ heroic fight for justice, as told by her great-granddaughter Michelle Duster and fellow historians.⁠

Im Situation Room des Weißen Hauses werden Entsch

Im Situation Room des Weißen Hauses werden Entscheidungen getroffen, die einen massiven Einfluss auf das Weltgeschehen nehmen. Aber was passiert hinter den Kulissen der Macht genau? Der neue Film des Oscar-nominierten Regisseurs Dror Moreh führt das Publikum tief in erbitterte Debatten, Gewissensfragen, strategische Kalkulationen und Machtkämpfe und liefert eine intensive Untersuchung der US-Außenpolitik der letzten 40 Jahre. Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power und viele andere geben ihre seltenen Einblicke in die dramatischen Konflikte der jüngsten Geschichte, die unsere Welt bis heute prägen. Mit einer Kombination von ausführlichen Interviews, seltenem Archivmaterial und beeindruckenden Rekonstitutionen beleuchtet der Film Verhaltensmuster, die zu Stillstand und Untätigkeit führen, selbst im Angesicht eines Völkermords⁠

In the Situation Room of the White House, decisions are made that have a massive influence on world events. But what exactly happens behind the scenes of power? Oscar-nominated director Dror Moreh's new film takes the audience deep into acrimonious debates, questions of conscience, strategic calculations, and power struggles, delivering an intense examination of US foreign policy over the last 40 years. Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power, and many others offer their rare insights into the dramatic conflicts of recent history that continue to shape our world today. Through a combination of in-depth interviews, rare archival footage, and stunning reconstitutions, the film illuminates patterns of behaviour that lead to stasis and inaction, even in the face of genocide.⁠

Sebastian Wuepper discusses the devastating impact of the Great Chicago Fire on the German community, particularly on the north side of the river, right at the heart of the city.

In the aftermath, the fire not only physically altered the landscape but also ignited political tensions. Mayor Joseph Madill, who was also the publisher of the Chicago Tribune at the time, proposed a city ordinance mandating that the city be rebuilt in stone rather than wood. 🏛️📜

This proposal was seen by German Americans as a threat to their property rights and the social cohesion of their community, intensifying the challenges they faced during the recovery period. 🇩🇪🏘️
