It was an education for myself, and despite the very real grief and loneliness at the heart of it, a very uplifting experience. Big fan of Ese, thank you for reaching out, and the team @waverleycare.bsky.social

Yesterday, we were thrilled to launch our HIV anti-stigma documentary, See You, See Me, See Us.
The film explores the emotional impact of loneliness following an HIV diagnosis, the challenges, resilience, and hope for the future. 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWQx...

Don't miss @waverleycare.bsky.social's powerful documentary "See You, See me, See Us" directed by @debasers.bsky.social exploring the emotional impact of loneliness following an #HIV diagnosis.
The top 10 films I saw in 2024, in the order I saw them:
The Zone of Interest -2023
Aftersun -2022
Do The Right Thing -1989
A Man Escaped -1956
All Of Us Strangers -2023
Nae Pasaran! -2018
The Night of the Hunter -1955
The Searchers -1956
Invasion of the Body Snatchers -1978
Paths of Glory -1957
Poster for the film Nae Pasaran (2018).
This is the kind of film to watch in times like these, when you need a bit of hope, when you need reminding that action makes a difference, even when it seems small or ridiculous. The buggers are counting on us to psyche ourselves out. Unionise.
