director nanette bernstein clinton said she hoped the movie would make a difference. we've got to do more to get people to understand what's going on in our country and the world and if this can contribute to that i'll be very happy. politics are everywhere at the 2020 sundance film festival a new documentary premiering here explores the murder of washing post journalist jamal khashoggi. called the dissident the film investigates in intimate and often gory detail what happened to 2 years ago after he entered the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul. more importantly the film points the finger at the saudi kingdom for the film claims planning and carrying out the murder. of another political dissident in park city this year is the chinese artist and director by way way. he's brought his new documentary which explores the disappearance of 43

mexican students in 2014. focuses on the families left behind families who continue to demand answers from the mexican government. the film offers no answers its political message is simply to bear witness. the. joins me now you said. hillary's hillary clinton very divisive person in american politics i mean does do we get a nod to the documentary explain why it deftly shows why because it shows a lot of hillary clinton sort of a series of 4 hours. of this documentary so you get to see if a lot of hillary clinton throughout the years and it really does go

a long way to explain why she's. been within the american politics. it's interesting before this documentary came out it creates its own sort of news cycle around it because hillary clinton it attacked bernie sanders who were her one time political opponent for the presidential nomination a few years back and of course one of the leading. candidates to be the next presidential candidate for the democrats in the documentary. bernie know that nobody likes bernie and that he's never done anything succeeded in anything politically and of course that angered bernie supporters what i think really comes through in this documentary is that hillary clinton is incredibly intelligent incredibly competent person and politician but that she doesn't mince words that she tells it as as she sees it and isn't afraid to push back and of course a lot of people don't like that you're mentioning in some news came out also in the

. documentary that was breaking news just overweight was and yeah exactly just before the film was released in the film they revealed what everyone knows now that jeff bezos c.e.o. of amazon who which owns the washington post that he had his phone hacked apparently by the saudis and apparently the film alleges in retaliation to prevent him from trying to intimidate him to stop the washington post reporting on the killing. and really truly shocking now i way way made a documentary why did he choose this subject i mean why is the chinese aust is making a document about mexico i thought he might make one about china yeah exactly i had a chance to interview i way before before the film premiered in sundance and he said he came across the story itself almost by accident but that he was really fascinated by the parallels that he saw between mexican society and chinese society

and he was saying that for example the struggle of these families to find justice is not that dissimilar in his mind to the struggles of say hong kong students against the chinese government what i also thought really interesting thing he said that he talked about politics and he said that he thinks that to be an artist today to be relevant today you have to be political you have to take a political stance otherwise you're not reflecting the reality of the world around you is that the place for him because it's said to be known to be very political politically correct yes yes i'm with the critics who say too politically correct but definitely very very political what i thought was funny even this year there was no plea opening film was a documentary on netflix documentary about the pop star taylor swift you would think that's very political and the film itself is well maybe what you expect it's almost a sort of p.r. exercise for taylor swift fans but the way the film was sold or presented was it that it was a political story it was about taylor swift political awakening because a couple of years back after many years of silence she finally came out as

a supporter of gay rights so it shows that even a film that is pretty much a straight commercial enterprise when it goes to sundance they have to present at least as being a big political statement a lot going on as. always thank you very much. now a simple chair has seat a back rest normally 4 legs although that has changed with modern materials there is however a real science an art to designing a chair that's practical comfortable and of course looks great an exhibition in munich traces 200 years of chair design by the firm torn it who made their name with the classic chair. chan designed in 1836 and another 28. munich could take more then a museum is dedicating. to the last 200 years design.

another change with curvaceous forms and bright colors designers like burn a plant on denmark brought into people's homes. then a plant on kick started a new design era that turned away from the perpendicular functionalist aesthetic. in the form of the new era was about a more emotional approach and lots of knowledge and within that. even today just so i know such as norman foster are finding innovative approaches to the . through new materials and production methods. many people see the jack as just a place to sit down 200 years of child zine prove it can be much more.
