“Throughout his career, Wim Wenders has been fascinated, even obsessed, by America: its landscapes, its citizens’ faces, the way the country sees itself and is seen by the world, its reality and its myth. Ripley’s Stetson identifies him as mythically American, so it’s ironic and odd and funny that America—in theory, a beacon of democracy and culture—appears here as a rather dim beacon: a not very intelligent psycho, with a calculating nature and a gift for intimidation that may remind us of the crazed, gas-sucking bully Hopper would play in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet… .Â
Like Highsmith, Wenders has always been preoccupied with nationality, with the differences between Americans and Europeans, and with the effects of place. But above all, truth and beauty are what he has gone for and achieved in this stylish thriller, really and truly noir in its power to make us feel that we are watching something epic and spiritual play out in a very dark way, on a fast European train.”

NGO empowers Afghan girls through skateboarding  Â
Among the many humanitarian problems facing war-torn Afghanistan is the impact that the conflict there has had on the country’s schoolchildren; many poor and displaced families have been forced to take their children out of school, signalling major problems for Afghanistan’s workforce in the years to come. Skateistan, set up by Australian skate fan Oliver Percovich, is an NGO (now operating in several countries) that coaxes kids back to school by teaching them to skateboard, and it was while documenting the initiative that British photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson took the shot that was to win second place in the 2014 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. Â

Skateistan is a Kabul-based Afghan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization), which is non-political, independent, and inclusive of all ethnicities, religions and social backgrounds.
The simplicity of using skateboarding as a tool for empowerment is really moving, and even better: It works.Â
