Weekly Filet #243: The darkest shade of white. And more.
1. Charlottesville: Race and Terror (Vice News / HBO)
Words fail me.
(I'm sure most of you have come across this documentary in one of your timelines already. If you haven't watched it yet, do so.)
2. The myth of the ‘lone wolf’ terrorist (The Guardian)
This is not about Charlottesville, not about Barcelona, but a great read for context. It explores the origins of the term «lone wolf terrorist» and why it is mostly misleading. «Terrorism is not something you do by yourself, it is highly social.»
3. Questions for Me About Dying (The New Yorker)
«I will not miss dying. It is by far the hardest thing I have ever done, and I will be glad when it’s over.»
4. Here’s every total solar eclipse happening in your lifetime. (The Washington Post)
I think I've seen every single explanatory piece on the upcoming solar eclipse. This was one of the first and it still puts everybody else in the shade. A clever approach, brilliantly executed.
5. Shadow Peace I (Neil Halloran)
Remember «The Fallen of World War II»? Its creator is back with a new project, «a web series that combines data-visualization and cinematic storytelling to explore the driving factors of war and peace». Impressive.
