WEEKLY WATCH: INDIA’S DAUGHTER – A HARROWING DOCUMENTARY ON RAPE IN INDIA
This weekly watch has come from an article I read on The Guardian, "India’s Daughter: ‘I made a film on rape in India. Men’s brutal attitudes truly shocked me’". It tells you of the harrowing personal experience that film-maker, Leslee Udwin, went through as she created a documentary on rape in India. There's no need for me to repeat the article but I beg you to go read it.
However, I do want to share with you what crossed my mind when reading it and encourage you to watch the documentary. The article is truly shocking, it made me think how do we live in a world where something like this can happen?
I'm coming to the end of a degree in Journalism and PR so I feel like I look upon articles with slight skepticism but this online article really stopped me in my tracks and got me thinking.
Gender inequality is still clearly present in our world today. We have many campaigns fighting for gender equality to be achieved, such as HeForShe, UK Feminista and many more, but it is nowhere near enough. According to the HeForShe website, 9,440 men in India have joined the HeForShe movement but the country has a population of 1.252 billion so why are more men not fighting for gender equality?
I can't imagine living in a world where women are expected to stay home at night to avoid rape and people believe "You can’t clap with one hand – it takes two hands. A decent girl won’t roam around at night. A girl is more responsible for rape than a boy". This is appalling.
The documentary airs on BBC 4 but maybe it should be on a more popular channel to raise awareness of what is going on outside of the places we live?
I haven't seen the documentary but if this Guardian article is anything to go by then it should be a eye-opening and emotional watch. I hope the documentary is as remarkably shocking as Yvonne Roberts' article suggests.
The documentary airs this Sunday (8th March) on BBC 4 at 10pm.
Weekly Watch: Ed Sheeran Releases Music Video for 'Don't'
This week's watch is of the new music video released from Ed Sheeran. The talented singer-songwriter has uploaded the video for 'Don't', his next single from the number 1 album 'X'.
The song is catchy, it will have you dancing and singing away and is the perfect choice to release as a single.
The video focuses on a talented dancer that break-dances through a variety of houses and outfits, from poor to rich. It could be a sign of Ed's rise to fame throughout his music career so far.
The music video uses sound effects to fit in with the action on-screen. The dancer jumps in a pool and the water becomes muffled which really adds something special to the video.
Although, the video does not focus on Ed Sheeran, he does make a few appearances throughout. See how many times you can spot him and enjoy the new video!
Weekly Watch: Lauren Aquilina Live at St Pancras
Singer-songwriter, Lauren Aquilina, surprised passer-bys at St Pancras railway station by performing a cover of Sam Smith's song 'Stay With Me'.
Lauren Aquilina is a 19-year-old, singer-songwriter of British and Maltese descent who this year signed a recording contract with Island Records and Universal Music Group. She began her career by uploading home-recorded videos of herself singing covers of other artist's song and her original songs. Aquilina then went on to independently release three EPs, 'Fools', 'Sinners' and 'Liars'' which you can listen to on iTunes here.
Aquilina covered the number 1 single 'Stay With Me' by the 2014 BRIT Critics' Choice Award Winner, Sam Smith, using just a piano and her beautiful voice in the busy train station. Many passer-bys stop to listen to her breathtaking voice.
The video which was posted on YouTube has already received 20,000 views in three days and has reportedly been seen by Sam Smith who liked it according to Lauren Aquilina's twitter.
I've selected this video as my weekly watch because it is so simple and beautifully sang. The cover is definitely worth a watch!
