"Rules of Engagement" won a News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

"While not for the squeamish, this series of three short films by Melissa Hogenboom and Pierangelo Pirak is pretty much essential for anyone not daunted by the sight of corpses and the reality of death. An exquisitely shot blend of wry re-enactment, vox-pop and gentle documentary, this compact trilogy takes us to Palermo to find out about Sicily's religious and cultural traditions of mummification, from the Middle Ages until the early 20th century. If this is the kind of eccentric cultural mini doc BBC Reel is hoping to specialise in, it should be applauded” by Andrew Male for The Times

Absolutely fascinating stuff. The power of social engineering, charm and confidence by two very young kids is mind blowing. Some very funny bits in it too.

Clickbait meets populism and extremism: TikTok and politics

(28 min)

I provided an Invidious link, here is the originial: https://youtu.be/VeMhHtfe81s

TikTok is continuing its rapid growth. What political role does this platform play? Accounts operated by politicians from the Germany’s right-wing AfD and Austria’s right-wing FPÖ have the widest reach. At the same time, the parties are also gaining ground in election polls in Germany and Austria.

Clickbait meets populism and extremism: What will this lead to? Who is standing up to it, and at what cost? In the documentary "Reclaim - The Struggle for Democracy on TikTok," we head into the populist rabbit hole. The team traveled to Austria and Germany and spoke to activists, political actors and experts such as sociologist Aladin El-Mafaalani and extremism researcher Julia Ebner. We show how right-wing populists use TikTok to spread their messages and shed light on the impact it has on the political landscape and on young people.
