In 'Yellow Rose,' an undocumented Filipina sings for her American dream [[link removed]]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In "Yellow Rose," a new film from documentary filmmaker Diane Paragas, the lead
character is an undocumented 17-year-old Filipino-American, who navigates migration
and race, while trying to reach her American dream of becoming a country music singer.
"Paragas infuses the story with a convincing realism through unobtrusive camerawork
and effortless dialogue, and by maintaining a simple, even-keeled narrative," writes
Precious Blood Br. Antonio Sison in his review of the film. "This is the clear strength
of the film - it feels authentic."

Sarah Posner's 'Unholy' implicates Catholics as well as evangelicals [[link removed]]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah Posner's timely, meticulously researched Unholy intertwines two stories. As
its subtitle asks, how can white evangelicals, longtime strong advocates of character
in political leaders, worship so fervently at the altar of President Donald Trump?
The answer to that question requires historical examination of the religious right
movement, which has now amalgamated with the "alt-right," Posner proposes, to form
the base of the Republican Party.
As the "unholy" tag indicates, the other story Posner tells suggests that the religious
right's alliance with Trump has proven to be less than holy. Citing abundant evidence,
Posner concludes that "religious right leaders have given moral cover to the president's
racism and white nationalism" and "have helped make the unthinkable - an overtly
racist American president - a reality."
