I don’t get this…. Is this a form of modern day colonialism or just plain greed and child labour exploitation? I guess the argument is that, the child actors from Slumdog Millionaire should be happy they have a job at all – after all, there are over 65 million people (twice the population of Canada) … Read More
Last night, we got ready for our Oscar party – just like home – except it’s a day late, being re-broadcast on the Dubai channel at 7pm our time (it wasn’t easy avoiding Internet, TV, and radio for the whole day), we’re all squeezed into a tiny yet comfy room in Addis watching on a … Read More
